Description

Most work on globalization, according to Marber (Columbia U.), only deals with one or another aspect of it, like the proverbial blind men who could only feel one or another part of an elephant, whereas he claims here to present a holistic account of globalization's interlocking connections. He opens with an account of world power reorientations of the last century and especially the last two decades and then presents chapters on cross- border issues that require greater coordination: trade and finance, energy, security, immigration, health, the environment, and poverty. He concludes with a discussion of how the United States should react to globalization, arguing that a more multilateral approach is needed.
