Debating Globalization is a short, accessible introduction
to the debate about globalization written by many of the most
prominent figures in the field. Published by Polity in association
with open Democracy, the book is notable not just for focusing on
the pressing difficulties facing our world, but also on solutions.
Rich and positive suggestions are made for reshaping globalization
into a force that will work for humans everywhere.
In an extended analysis, David Held provides a robust critique
of the present order and sets out his alternative vision. Building
on arguments he made in Global Covenant, he calls for a new global
political agenda, informed by social democratic political values.
His analysis has been criticized by leading figures and their
responses follow in this book. There are chapters by, among others,
Martin Wolf, Roger Scruton, Grahame Thompson, David Mepham, Meghnad
Desai, Maria Livanos Cattaui, Patrick Bond, Benjamin Barber, John
Elkington, Takashi Inoguchi, Narcís Serra, and Anne-Marie
Slaughter and Thomas N. Hale. The volume ends with David Held’s
reply to his critics.
The book provides a fascinating introduction to the debate about
globalization today.
