Mapping the multi-dimensional relationships between the people, local and national governments, international organizations, global corporations, natural resources and the world market, this encyclopedic volume is both a primer and a guide for researchers, academics, and policymakers both public and private. Using country-specific cases, the essays examine globalization as a threat to national sovereignty, the environment, and public health, and as a contributor to increasing worldwide inequality, and global insecurity. The authors explore ethics and the need for future global consciousness, and call for sustainable development to be grounded in community-based institutions while governments seek growth through market expansion worldwide.
