Antoni Bosch Editor, S.A. La convulsión globótica: Robótica, globalización
Book SynopsisNuestro mundo está a punto de entrar en una nueva era que supondrá cambios equivalentes a los de la Revolución Industrial. La automatización, la inteligencia artificial y la robótica modifican nuestra vida a pasos agigantados y la disrupción digital va mucho más lejos de lo que pensábamos. Richard Baldwin, uno de los principales expertos mundiales en globalización, sostiene que el ritmo de esta transformación va a resultar angustioso. Cuando la tecnología permita trabajar a presencias virtuales en cualquier oficina de cualquier parte del mundo, la globótica (la combinación de globalización y robótica) alterará la vida de millones de trabajadores cualificados mucho más deprisa de lo que nos afectaron la automatización, la industrialización o la globalización en épocas precedentes. ¿Qué pueden hacer las personas y los gobiernos para responder a este cambio excepcional? ¿Cómo evitar que en este proceso se debiliten los cimientos mismos de la sociedad? Aunque la convulsión es ya inevitable, existen estrategias para adaptarnos a este mundo nuevo, y estas se basan en las destrezas humanas que ninguna máquina puede replicar: la creatividad y el pensamiento independiente. La convulsión globótica nos ayuda a prepararnos para la inminente oleada de los robots avanzados en el mercado laboral.

Copenhagen Business School Press Limits to Globalization: National Borders Still
Book SynopsisThis book is about the limits to globalization. Companies are neither as international nor as open as commonly presented. Scholars of globalization have mainly concentrated on describing the global reach of companies as well as their outward openness. They have, to a large extent, neglected the other side of the coin: the strength of the companies'' national roots and the inward restrictions still widely imposed by their nation-states. The Limits to Globalization examines this neglected side of globalization. The limits are explored through four major themes. First, the enduring characteristics of national business systems are highlighted. Second, the significance of national roots and local markets in the strategies of multinational companies is illustrated. Third, cultural and social barriers to globalization are demonstrated. Fourth, the changing relations between business and politics in the interconnected world are discussed.

Museum Tusculanum Press Changing Philologies: Contributions to the
Book SynopsisThis book contains the proceedings from the conference ''Changing Philologies'' together with other contributions on the same topic. The conference was organised by the Danish Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and was held on 8-9 February 2002 in Copenhagen. The contributors to this book question whether the traditional paradigm of national philology, which dominated foreign language studies for more than a century, is appropriate for meeting the challenge posed by the economic and political globalisation of today. They argue that the relation between languages and cultures will become an important field of investigation in the future, and that foreign language studies must provide linguistically skilled candidates trained in cultural translation and intercultural communication. In order to do so, the departments of foreign language studies must strengthen their interdisciplinary activities and engage in theoretical reflections upon the relation between such entities as language, culture, identity, and history, and the self-knowledge and imaginary world pictures represented in art and literature.

NIAS Press Asian Cities: Globalization, Urbanization and
Book SynopsisThis book questions the centrality of globalization in explaining change in Asian cities and examines developing Asian cities in their own terms rather than as variants of Western urbanization. It explores middle cities 'off the radar' as well as well-known metropolises. It uses both quantitative and ethnographic research. Asian Cities challenges Western paradigms of urban growth with a fresh and stimulating look at cities in developing Asia. It questions the status accorded to globalization in explaining contemporary Asian cities, arguing instead that they are being transformed by three major forces - urbanization and nation-building as well as globalization. The latter two are not dependent variables of globalization, although all, in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, are shaped by capitalism. The book reaches beyond the usual focus on metropolitan centres to examine urban life in a sample of middle-sized cities representative of hundreds of such urban centres throughout the Asian continent. An introductory chapter outlines the arguments and introduces the sample cities. Chapters two and three explore two principal facets of urbanization: the material transformation that comes in its train and the impact that it has on the lives of the newly-urbanized. Chapters four to seven explore the way that the national framework shapes cities - including business enterprises, migration, travel and commercial popular culture. In a final chapter the book surveys likely trends in Asian cities over the next quarter century and considers the implications of the study for our understanding of globalization generally. This is a nuanced study grounded in quantitatively-based findings but enriched by qualitative research that both provides additional evidence and brings the findings alive.Table of ContentsPreface and acknowledgements; 1.

Peeters Publishers Building Towers: Perspectives on Globalisation
Book SynopsisThis volume contains the papers delivered at a colloquium on globalisation at the UFSIA in 2002. The book takes a multidisciplinary approach in the context of which several perspectives on globalisation are developed. The starting-point of the colloquium was a paper by Hendrik Opdebeeck with the title 'The globalisation discourse and the waning of ethical endeavour'. The issue at stake in this text is a personalistic approach towards a socially and economically most pressing phenomenon. This approach also occurs within a critical atmosphere which clearly points to distortions with respect to ethics. Within a personalistic perspective, founded in a Christian tradition of ethical discourse, it is not a sheer adaptation or legitimisation that is opted for, but a profound and critical reading of the signs of the times.Table of ContentsPrologue: Introduction: Globalisation and the Tragedy of Ethics: Christianity and Globalisation: Community Building and Economic Globalisation: Towards a Sustainable Global Welfare Society: On the Urgency of Broadening the Ethic Dimension in Globalisation: Does Globalisation Make Us Reconsider Marx: Globalism and the Idea of Europe: Culture versus Globalisation in Europe: Globalisation and the Human Genome Project: Globalisation and Securitisation of Risk Bearing: Technology and Globalisation: Epilogue.

Peeters Publishers Transnationality, Internationalism and
Book SynopsisNew means of transport and communication allowed unprecedented mobility of people, goods and ideas in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, which contributed to far-reaching economic, social and political changes in a first wave of globalisation. In its genuine transnationality, the European historical avant-garde can be seen as a product of this development. Cosmpolitanism, internationality and internationalism became emblems of the avant-garde in its pursuit of a 'new', modern international culture trangressing 'old' borders and limitations dictated by conceptions of nationhood, linguistic restrictions, and state boundaries. Simultaneously, national and nationalist reflexes can be traced in the avant-garde as well - in a European context marked by a plethora of competing nationalisms. This collection of essays focuses on the transnationality and inter-nationalisms in the European avant-garde as well as on conflicts, paradoxes and debates in the avant-garde as genuinely transnational configuration of artistic movements, which possessed nevertheless many nationalist edges. The book presents a panorama of the historical avant-garde oscillating and operating between transnationality, internationalism and nationalisms of different kinds, both in national cultural fields and a transnational European arena - from Iceland to Greece and from the Pale of Settlement to the Atlantic.

Aspekt B.V., Uitgeverij Global Culture & its Future
Book SynopsisDago Steenis (1925) articulates a view that explains why, at this point in evolution, humankind is on the brink of historic development. The existing cultural crisis makes it imperative that we embrace a fundamental revolution in our way of thinking, including our approach to service. This will enable us to deepen our understanding of the natural world, our role as human beings and culture. Armed with this deeper understanding we will be able to rise above our more primitive traits and create a truly humane society. The world population will need to unite politically to overcome the global problems it now faces. For only a united humanity will be able to effectively address the current global concerns. The first step towards world unity under a world government is to create a World Unity Movement.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Understanding Globalization Through The Lens Of
Book SynopsisSince 1962, economists have used the 'gravity equation' in international trade to explain empirically bilateral international trade flows, and have since more recently adopted the gravity model to explain foreign direct investment stocks. Motivated by its empirical success, Jeffrey H. Bergstrand provided one of the earliest formal theoretical foundations for the gravity equation in international trade in 1985. Since then, the gravity equation has become a fundamental element of international trade theory, empirical work, and policy analysis, especially of the effects of economic integration agreements and tariffs on trade flows and welfare. Understanding Globalization Through the Lens of Gravity is a curated collection of Bergstrand's published papers over the 30 years since his first paper on the theme of gravity. In four parts, the 17 papers span topics such as the determinants of international trade flows, economic determinants of free trade agreements, estimating the effects of economic integration agreements on trade flows, and economic determinants of multinational firms' foreign direct investment stocks, foreign affiliate sales and governments' bilateral investment treaties.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Iberian World Empires and the Globalization of
Book SynopsisThis open access book analyses Iberian expansion by using knowledge accumulated in recent years to test some of the most important theories regarding Europe’s economic development. Adopting a comparative perspective, it considers the impact of early globalization on Iberian and Western European institutions, social development and political economies. In spite of globalization’s minor importance from the commercial perspective before 1750, this book finds its impact decisive for institutional development, political economies, and processes of state-building in Iberia and Europe. The book engages current historiographies and revindicates the need to take the concept of composite monarchies as a point of departure in order to understand the period’s economic and social developments, analysing the institutions and societies resulting from contact with Iberian peoples in America and Asia. The outcome is a study that nuances and contests an excessively-negative yet prevalent image of the Iberian societies, explores the difficult relationship between empires and globalization and opens paths for comparisons to other imperial formations.Trade Review“The description of the Habsburg defensive barrier against the Ottoman Empire, as well as a section comparing and contrasting the Ottoman and Iberian empires, are innovative as well as informative; most researchers limit their focus to the English and sometimes the French empires. The fact that this is an open-access book electronically makes it an even more valuable addition to the literature.” (Robin Grier, The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Vol. 51 (1), 2020)“The book provides an excellent graduate-level survey. … Graduate students and scholars rewriting their lecture courses will profit from perusing this ambitious volume.” (Stuart M.

Springer Verlag, Singapore China’s New Development Strategies: Upgrading
Book SynopsisThis book examines China’s new development policies, which seek to reposition China from export platform for a diverse array of low-cost consumer goods to technological leader in sectors linked to advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, e-commerce, and new internet-related production networks oriented to China’s large domestic market. Focusing on the post-2010 period, the book shows how China’s central government programs and reforms (“upgrading from above”) are coupled with a wide variety of local government policies, firm strategies, and domestic economy shifts (“upgrading from below”) that link China’s top-down programs into industrial growth on the ground. Placing China’s current development push within a global value chain (GVC) context shows how Chinese development strategies and the global economy remain intertwined. This volume brings together international GVC experts and China-based researchers who have carried out detailed fieldwork and industry specific quantitative analyses of GVCs and development with important implications for policymakers in both developed and developing economies.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Brazil—Japan Cooperation: From Complementarity to
Book SynopsisThis is an open access book. Relations between Brazil and Japan progressed dynamically in the 1960s and 1970s, centering on the substantial complementarity between Japan’s needing primary goods to sustain high economic growth and Brazil’s seeking non-hegemonic investment to invigorate its resource potential. Now that this complementarity has lost significance, the two countries are restructuring their relations to protect shared values of democracy, freedom, the rule of law, and the need for maintaining good relations with both China and the United States. Analyzed here is the development of this renewed bilateral relationship in multiple directions: productivity, global environment and health, migration, and triangular cooperation in third countries’ development. Facing the prospect of a declining population, Japan may become more open to international migration, but the experience with Japanese-descent Brazilian workers since the amendment of the migration control law in 1990 presents many lessons and challenges for the symbiosis of multicultural groups. Brazil, for its part, needs to address social inequality. To this end, it is fundamental to improve the quality of work.This book argues that Brazil and Japan can benefit from cooperation in managing those country-specific issues. It also discusses ways that Brazil and Japan can profit from coordinating action on global problems such as greenhouse gas reduction, mitigation of tropical diseases, healthy community building, and high-quality infrastructure for poverty reduction.Table of ContentsIntroduction (Nobuaki Hamaguchi and Danielly Ramos) Part I: Brazil-Japan Cooperation from Global Perspective Chapter 1 Brazil - Japan Relationship: A Partnership?

The Chinese University Press Globalization After the Pandemic – Thoughts on
Book SynopsisThe coronavirus pandemic that broke out in 2019 has finally calmed down in China, after the bungling occasioned by the iron hand of lockdown. But beginning in March 2020, the disaster spread abroad, and at present there is no end in sight. In this work, Qin Hui offers a bracing examination of the impact of coronavirus pandemic on political institutions in both China and the West. Deliberating on the contradiction between "human rights" and "human survival," he contends that China has achieved success in imposing coercive lockdowns to control the virus, but it will be a challenge to prevent the normalization of emergency measures from worsening human right conditions. The West, in contrast, must learn how democracies can efficiently enter a state of emergency and put an end to these measures at the proper time.Trade ReviewQin Hui is one of the most original thinkers and commentators active in China today. In this wide?ranging and meticulously researched book he argues that the COVID?19 pandemic reveals decisive weaknesses in both the Chinese and European/American political systems. While not everyone will agree with Qin's conclusions, the rigor of his arguments, the broad historical and geographical range of his examples, and his commitment to defending human dignity around the world make for a compelling read and challenge all forms of pandemic complacency."- Sebastian Veg, School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS), ParisTable of Contents Foreword by David Ownby Chapter One: What if "Human Rights" Means "No Humans Left"?

Haymarket Books The Case for Open Borders
Book SynopsisA beautifully-written, broadly accessible, and forthright argument for a solution to the migration crisis: open the gates.Because of restrictive borders, human beings suffer and die. Closed borders force migrants seeking safety and dignity to journey across seas, trudge through deserts, and clamber over barbed wire. In the last five years alone, at least 60,000 people have died or gone missing while attempting to cross a border. As we deny, cast out, and crack down, we have stripped borders of their creative potential — as lines of contact, catalyst, and blend — turning our thresholds into barricades.Brilliant and provocative, The Case for Open Borders deflates the mythology of national security through border lockdowns by revisiting their historical origins; it counters the conspiracies of immigration’s economic consequences; it urgently considers the challenges of climate change beyond the boundaries of narrow national identities. This book grounds its argument in the experiences and thinking of those on the frontlines of the crisis, spanning the world to do so. In each chapter, through detailed reporting, journalist and translator John Washington profiles a character impacted by borders. He adds to those portraits provocative analyses of the economics and ethics of bordering, concluding that if we are to seek justice or sustainability we must fight for open borders.In recent years, important thinkers have begun to urge a profoundly different approach to migration, but no book has made the argument as accessible or as compelling. Washington’s case shines with the multitudinous voices of people on the move, a portrait in miniature of what a world with open borders will give to our common future.Trade Review“A powerful and convincing case for human solidarity and cooperation for which Washington provides a roadmap. Unlike many commentaries and books about the fraught border, he does not leave out the Indigenous communities whose homelands have existed in the area for centuries before the border was violently imposed by the United States in 1848.” —Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of Not “A Nation of Immigrants:” Settler-Colonialism , White Supremacy, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion "John Washington makes a strong, eloquent and even inspiring case for the relaxation and ultimately the abolition of border controls." —JM Coetzee"The Case for Open Borders offers an accessible and passionate case against border controls. Highlighting the complex stories and lived experiences of displaced and immobilized migrants in the crosshairs of violent bordering regimes, Washington shows how borders structure global difference across economies and ecosystems and ends with a multi-faceted and air-tight 21 arguments for open borders for people across the political spectrum." —Harsha Walia"John Washington’s The Case for Open Borders is a compelling, empathetic argument, a far-reaching look into the origins of borders. Washington is one of our most thoughtful, creative, and humane journalists, and this new work will make people think differently about what they think they already know, about what divides and unites the world in new, surprising ways. Highly recommended." —Greg Grandin“John Washington provides us with an essential evidence based, politically sophisticated, and ethically compelling tool to address one of the most important issues of our time.” —Alex Vitale, author of The End of PolicingThe Case for Open Borders reveals the extent to which today’s global borders have become, at their very core, irredeemably inhumane. Through riveting reporting and wide-ranging citations and case studies, John Washington deconstructs a host of broken metaphors, facile analogies, and fallacious arguments—deconstructing modern notions of scarcity, enforcement, and “order.” This is essential reading, a powerhouse manual for re-imagining a world without walls." —Francisco Cantú, author of The Line Becomes a River"The Case for Open Borders is an urgently needed and timely appeal for justice for the expanding flows of migrants and refugees falling victim inside a hardened and darkening complex of enforced border walls, perilous waterways, and spirals of razor wire. A fluid blend of historical analysis, investigative journalism, and illustrative storytelling, this book grabs you immediately and turns your attention to these anti-human regimes jutting the global landscape—and won’t let you look away. Read this book that makes the most complete and comprehensive case for opening the borders—and then take action to make it a reality." —Justin Akers Chacón"Perhaps the most profound book you’ll read this year. Washington cleaves through all the cruel obfuscations and militaristic cant that derange our border and immigration politics and offers a better human alternative. Borders will not save us, or our rapidly broiling planet, but Washington's reportorial courage and ethical clarity just might." —Junot DíazTable of ContentsPrelude: What’s at Stake?Chapter One: Abu Yassin and The Friendship DamChapter Two: The Historical ArgumentChapter Three: Shafa and Hard Kinetic SolutionsChapter Four: The Economic ArgumentChapter Five: Never Merely TheaterChapter Six: The Case for Urgency, or The Environmental CaseChapter Seven: What Would Open Borders Look Like?Chapter Eight: How I Came to Open BordersChapter Nine: Josiel and Iron ObelisksChapter Ten: 22 Arguments for Open Borders
