Globalization Books
Lars Muller Publishers Our World to Change!
Book SynopsisTo explain the desperate state of our world, its functioning and malfunctioning, is the ambitious goal of this book by Ruedi and Vera Baur. To achieve this goal they have joined forces with the globalization-critical organization Attac, which has provided them with the data. The publication is a formal homage to the sociologist Otto Neurath and the graphic designer Gerd Arntz, who created the Isotype (International Education System by Typographical Images) in the 1920s. Ruedi and Vera Baur also recycled a figurine system originally developed for Manifesta 11, the European Biennial for Contemporary Art in Zurich. Our World to Change! not only explains figures related to economics, finance, ecology, nutrition, and immigration, but also presents suggestions and alternatives from specialists in these fields and from Attac. Visually deciphering the functions of our world system helps to show that another world is possible and necessary.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Wegbereiter der Globalisierung: Multinationale
Book SynopsisThe study deals with the multinationalization of European companies in the last third of the 20th century. Using the example of four large chemical companies (Bayer, Hoechst, Rhône-Poulenc, Akzo), she asks about the importance of multinational companies for the most recent globalization processes and the increasing interdependence in the world economy from a European comparative perspective. She shows that the company's strategic guidelines as well as the political and economic order structures changed fundamentally from the 1970s, and reflects on the challenges of this structural change.

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.

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.

The Chinese University Press The West as the Other – A Genealogy of Chinese
Book SynopsisLong before the Europeans reached the east, the ancient Chinese had advanced their perspectives of the west. In this groundbreaking book, Wang explores a fascinating perspective of the Other. He locates the Other in the alternating directionologies of classical and imperial China, leading the reader into a long history of Chinese geo-cosmologies and world-scapes. In his analysis, Wang also delves into the historical records of Chinese ""world activities,"" or the journeys from being the Central Kingdom to reaching to the ""outer regions,"" separating the construction of illusory from realistic geographies while drawing attention to their interconnected natures. Wang challenOrientalism), and reframes such studies from the directionological perspectives of an ""Oriental"" civilisation. He challenges the assumption that the Other must be understood in the sense that has been explained in general anthropology, crucially underlining the European foundations that have shaped its traditional interpretations.

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"? Chapter Two: "Human Rights Derogations" during States of Emergency, and the Definition of Human Rights Chapter Three: States of Emergency and Political Institutions Notes Bibliography

Princeton University Press On Global Justice
Book SynopsisPresents a theory of global distributive justice - what the author calls pluralist internationalism - where in different contexts, different principles of justice apply. This title explores who should have how much of what we all need and care about, ranging from income and rights to spaces and resources of the earth.Trade ReviewOne of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2013 "Risse's On Global Justice is a definitive account of justice as a responsibility extending beyond national borders and international institutions to encompass all human life through shared experience and common humanity... This book is likely to become a primary resource for theorists and participants in global policy and human rights institutions."--Choice "The book ... addresses questions of great importance and offers an original and challenging perspective on how to approach them."--Adam Hosein, Political Science Quarterly "This is an important book. International economic lawyers sensitive to moral and political philosophy should not ignore it. Each of its chapters contains many significant insights... Risse has made a significant contribution."--John Linarelli, Journal of International Economic Law "This book ... displays a scholarly rigor and philosophical depth that renders much of the existing literature in this area obsolete... I have no doubt that this book will come to play a central role in normative theorizing about global justice for some time to come."--Daniel Savery, Political Studies Review "[A] deeply provocative, closely argued, and impressively many-sided book."--Richard Vernon, Perspectives on PoliticsTable of ContentsPreface ix Acknowledgments xiii Part 1: Shared Citizenship and Common Humanity * Chapter 1: The Grounds of Justice 1 * Chapter 2: "Un Pouvoir Ordinaire": Shared Membership in a State as a Ground of Justice 23 * Chapter 3: Internationalism versus Statism and Globalism: Contemporary Debates 41 * Chapter 4: What Follows from Our Common Humanity?
