Summary: Does globalization represent the triumphant marriage of policy and technology? Is its true legacy environmental destruction and a widening gap between rich and poor? This timely new resource helps readers understand the realities of the globalized economy, navigating between the pro-globalization advocacy of government and business leaders and the anxieties of anti-globalization activists and organizations. Ranging from the post-World War II era to today's Internet-fueled age, it is the first comprehensive reference to offer a scholarly, agenda-free examination. Globalization : encyclopedia of trade, labor, and politics offers over 100 alphabetically organized entries in four major sections : trade and investment issues, major business and economic sectors, international blocs and organizations, and other issues. Its two volumes feature contributions from more than 100 of the world's foremost specialists. No other resource is better equipped to help readers explore the complex political, legal, environmental, and cultural factors driving the world's economic interdependence in the 21st century.
