Product Description
Real World Globalization is an essential guide to rapidly changing trends in global trade, investment, labor relations, and economic development. Its 74 articles provide jargon-free introductions to trade and financial institutions, work in the global economy, international debt, and global environmental, health, and resource issues. An extensive chapter on economic development critically analyzes neoliberal strategies in coutries from Mexico to China, and features a debate on the significance of rich nations' agricultural subsidies. The ninth edition is thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded - with over 40 new articles. It includes chapters on the political economy of war and imperialism, and on alternatives to neoliberalism. A new tenth chapter compiles Nick Thorkelson's "Comic Strips of Neoliberalism."

This book offers critical perspectives (without the conservative bias) on the rapidly changing globalized world. An important read for anyone interested in economics, political philosophy, political science, or global justice!
Excellent compilation August 13, 2008

This is a great book for anyone looking for concise, understandable literature on the economic and social issues surrounding globalization. The book is organized into specialized sections that have 6-10 articles about various topics related to the section. It is a great source for both beginners and advanced students of globalization.

This book might be for you, it was not for me. I suppose you should take the title literally. It is stock full of 'real world' data, i.e. everything bad thats happened in the world, and then they take some aspect of neoliberal policy to blame it on. My major concern is that it is completely lacking in any sort of theory, direct cause and effect relationships. But I give it two stars because it is stock full of discussions of happenings around the world, which can be interesting. But be forewarned, extremely biased against neoliberalism and the material doesn't even try to explain itself.
