Michael Woodin & Caroline Lucas 
Green Alternatives to Globalisation [PDF ebook] 
A Manifesto

What are the Green alternatives to economic globalisation?



Written by leader of the Green Party, Caroline Lucas, this manifesto argues that globalisation increases poverty, undermines democracy, and destroys the environment, the authors demonstrate the urgent need for a new approach – economic localisation – that is based on the Green principles of equity, ecology and democracy. Applying their thesis to current international crises, including climate change, trade and development, agriculture, and international security, we see how economic localisation could be adopted and applied to positive ends.
