xxii, 250 p : ill ; 25 cm "This is the first book to go beyond globalization. Its eminent contributors reject a fatalistic stance in the face of the problems that accelerating globalization is throwing up. Instead, they argue that humanity must make seek to shape globalization. In a sequence of tightly argued essays, they suggest a variety of innovative perspectives, changes, policies and institutional reforms that we ought to strive for in our increasingly inter-connected world. The exciting range of 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. Bristling with ideas, its new angle on globalization brings together different domains of transformation and different disciplines, looking to a future in which humanity consciously influences, improves and humanizes what may otherwise be seen as an impersonal and destructive juggernaut."--Back cover.
