"Globalization"
is one of the key concepts of our time. It is used by both the right and the
left as the cornerstone of their analysis of the international economy and
polity. In both political and academic discussions, the assumption is commonly
made that the process of economic globalization is well under way and that this
represents a qualitatively new stage in the development of international
capitalism. But is there in fact such a thing as a genuinely global economy?
Globalization in Question investigates this notion, providing a very different
account of the international economy and stressing the possibilities for its
continued and extended governance.
The new edition of this best-selling text has been thoroughly revised, updated and expanded to take into account new issues which have become salient in the period since the first edition was published, including the impact of the internationalization of economic relations on the welfare state; the various debates about the concept of "competitiveness"; the Asian crisis; and the relationships between the North and the South in terms of their effects on wage rates and living standards.
Globalization in Question, Second Edition, is a timely intervention into current discussions about the nature and prospects of globalization. The book has far-reaching implications which will be of interest to students and academics in a number of disciplines including politics, sociology, economics and geography, as well as to journalists and policy-makers.

"Globalização"
é um dos principais conceitos do nosso tempo. É
usado tanto pela direita quanto pela esquerda como a pedra angular de sua
análise da economia e da política internacionais. Em
ambas as discussões políticas e acadêmicas, geralmente se assume que o processo
de globalização econômica está bem encaminhado e que isso representa uma fase
qualitativamente nova no desenvolvimento do capitalismo internacional. Mas
existe, de fato, algo como uma economia genuinamente global? A
Globalização em questão investiga essa noção, fornecendo uma visão muito
diferente da economia internacional e enfatizando as possibilidades de sua
governança contínua e ampliada.
