Book description
The term 'globalization' generally refers to the homogenization of
cultures across the world due to Western encroachment. However, as this
book explains, the process is far more subtle, complex and uneven.
Taking as its starting point the fundamental question of whether
globalization exists, Living with Globalization provides a lively
discussion of one of the most used and abused concepts in the
twenty-first century. If globalization is a valid construct, it
manifests itself in lived experience, not in abstract theories.
Examining the ways in which globalization is contributing to patterns of
conflict, Living with Globalization explores a variety of case studies,
ranging from 9/11 to identity formation. The book reveals the complex
ramifications of globalization on society, government and everyday
lives. The term 'globalization' generally refers to the homogenization
