Abstract

Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among people, businesses, institutions, and governments of different countries in many aspects surrounding human lives. It is not a threat to sovereignty or a form of Westernization. This book discusses international economics and globalization, explores global business strategies, deliberates business ethics and corporate social responsibility, and examines other related aspects from a global perspective.

Abstract

Además de la insoslayable posición personal y de las necesarias consultas con quienes comparto reflexiones y preocupaciones teóricas y políticas, he acudido a múltiples ventanas de aproximación. La primera, casi forzosa, es la consideración del período, sin dejar de lado sus antecedentes que contribuyen a una comprensión coherente e integral, pues la historia es mucho más que la sucesión cronológica. En esta misma dirección de orden temporal, también se ha tenido en cuenta la relativa actualidad del texto seleccionado respecto de las circunstancias del presente que vivimos. Otra dimensión privilegiada tiene que ver con la relación o incidencia de los documentos con las luchas sociales y políticas, así como con los debates y controversias de las ciencias sociales frente a los debates de nuestro tiempo, apreciando el protagonismo y la influencia del respectivo autor. Y, obviamente, se ha tenido la precaución de matizar el conjunto con los aspectos claves de la controversia en nuestra sociedad, empezando por la realidad del conflicto social y armado que por decenios ha caracterizado el acontecer nacional, y los problemas económicosociales que le están asociados. Igualmente, han sido estimadas como referencias pertinentes la plurietnicidad, la perspectiva de género y la cuestión ambiental. Como el lector podrá apreciar, esta ha sido la respuesta ciertamente insuficiente, injusta y excluyente, al desafío de construir una antología de quienes como intelectuales han sido actores centrales, durante el período antológico, de las múltiples expresiones de la controversia y confrontación del orden social vigente.

Abstract

Are Christians fulfilling the stewardship commandment of Genesis to care for God's household? When we speak of the "environmental crisis" facing the planet, we reduce the coming catastrophe to a physical problem. In Creation in Crisis, Joshtrom Kureethadam seeks to extend the current understanding of what is truly an ecological crisis to include ethical and spiritual perspectives, arguing that the crisis is not merely an environmental problem, but is truly 'eco-logical' (a discourse about our common home - oikos) in nature. In its careful incorporation of the latest science around issues such as environmental degradation, pollution, climate change, and food production, this book also enters into dialogue with various disciplines in understanding the contemporary ecological crisis. Creation in Crisis offers a depth of vision that yields up profound insights about our present milieu and the future of our common home.

The markets for organic and fair trade commodities are growing rapidly, so it is vital to assess if it is feasible to meet growing demands regarding food safety, quality and ethics through smallholder and marginal producers.

Abstract

The benefits of globalization have long been trumpeted by right-wing and centre-left politicians and is enshrined in the neoliberal consensus of western democracies. However, in recent years, conservative rhetoric has turned increasingly anti-globalization. Ray Kiely examines this new trend, in particular the discourse of 'winners' and 'losers' of globalization that has emerged since the financial crisis, and which has been used by conservative politicians in the United States and the UK to reflect real and imagined threats to domestic economies and national identity.

The book examines new US and UK conservative movements (alongside earlier traditions) and the development of conservative ideas, in particular projects for renewal, that have shaped responses to globalization that challenge neoliberal and third way approaches. The nostalgia for a former supposed age of economic and societal harmony, which has characterized this conservative anti-globalization response is given particular attention. The popular mantras of deregulation and economic nationalism that loomed large in both the election of Donald Trump and the UK's Brexit vote are shown to be potent examples of the success of this new conservative (anti-)globalization rhetoric.

As well as examining the changing nature of Anglo-American conservatism, the book also offers an insightful account of the wider resurgence of populism.

Abstract

This timely Handbook brings together leading international scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and geopolitical perspectives to interrogate the intersections between migration and global justice. It explores how cross-border mobility and migration have been affected by rapid economic, cultural and technological globalisation, addressing the pressing questions of global justice that arise as governments respond to unprecedented levels of global migration.
