A World Laid Waste? (eBook, ePUB)

Responding to the Social, Cultural and Political Consequences of Globalisation
Redaktion: Dodsworth, Francis; Walford, Antonia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Globalisation and neo-liberalism have generated rapid economic growth and technological progress, but they have also laid waste to established communities, cultures and the natural environment. One outcome has been populist politics, playing on fears of change, but this book offers counter-narratives of hope emerging from the wastelands of globalisation.
