| Synopsis: |
The contributors of this book go beyond the problems of accelerating globalization to examine how humanity can shape it. They suggest a variety of innovative perspectives, changes, policies and institutional reforms to strive for in our increasingly inter-connected world. The topics discussed include global governance and democratization; international finance and reform of the world economy; Third World development; the environment; the position of women; poverty and social exclusion; technology and culture; and the future shape of urban growth. Optimistic and inventionist in tone, this book provides a one-stop overview of thinking about global reform. Its angle on globalization looks to a future in which humanity consciously influences, improves and humanises what may otherwise be seen as an impersonal and destructive juggernaut. |
