Globalizing Resistance: The State Of Struggle By Francois Polet, CETRI and Victoria Bawtree 2004 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0745323553 | PDF | 2 MB This is an indispensible handbook for global activists that takes the reader on a round-the-world tour of resistance to neoliberal globalization.Although the anti-globalization movement is truly global, each region has its own specific groups and agendas. Most books concentrate on the European and American movements. This book is different -- writers and activists from every continent summarise what's going on in their area to provide a truly international view of alternative social and political struggles.From Bolivia to New Zealand, from South Africa to Russia and China, these struggles against capitalism, privatisation, social exclusion and exploitation are mobilising many thousands. Increasingly, these groups are exchanging ideas, particularly at the new Social Forums of Porto Alegre and Mumbai. This book examines what has been achieved so far. The authors examine the World Social Forums as a dynamic for moving things forward. They explore the global anti-war movement and the successful mobilisation for the protests of 15th February 2003; they analyse new media strategies; and they offer a disturbing account on new police arrangements to control demonstrators.Edited by Fran?ois Polet, who is a member of the Tricontinental Centre and the World Forum for Alternatives -- a group that plays a prominent role in the World Social Forums -- the book includes contributions from Donatella della Porta, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Verity Burgmann, Paola Manduca and Bernard Dreano.  Globalization and Media in the Digital Platform Age, 2nd Edition by Dal Yong Jin English | 2026 | ISBN: 1041022832 | 194 Pages | True ePUB | 3 MB  Globalization and Human Rights By Alison Brysk 2002 | 310 Pages | ISBN: 0520232372 | PDF | 2 MB In this landmark volume, Alison Brysk has assembled an impressive array of scholars to address new questions about globalization and human rights. Is globalization generating both problems and opportunities? Are new problems replacing or intensifying state repression? How effective are new forms of human rights accountability?These essays include theoretical analyses by Richard Falk, Jack Donnelly, and James Rosenau. Chapters on sex tourism, international markets, and communications technology bring new perspectives to emerging issues. The authors investigate places such as the Dominican Republic, Nigeria, and the Philippines.The contemporary world is defined by globalization. While global human rights standards and institutions have been established, assaults on human dignity continue. These essays identify the new challenges to be faced, and suggest new ways to remedy the costs of globalization.  Globalization and Everyday Life (The New Sociology) By Larry Ray 2007 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0415340950 | PDF | 2 MB Globalization and Everyday Life provides an accessible account of globalization by developing two themes in particular. First, globalization is an outcome of structural and cultural processes that manifest in different ways in economy, politics, culture and organizations. So the globalized world is increasingly heterogeneous, unequal and conflictual rather than integrated and ordered. Secondly, globalization is sustained and created by the everyday actions of people and institutions. Both of these have far-reaching consequences for everyday life and are fully explored in this volume. Larry Ray skilfully guides students through the various aspects of the globalization debate and illustrates key arguments with reference to specific topics including nation, state and cosmopolitanism, virtual societies, transnationals and development. This innovative book provides this information in a clear and concise manner suitable for the undergraduate student studying sociology, social geography, globalization and development studies.  Globalisation and Pedagogy: Space, Place and Identity, 2nd edition By Edwards Usher 2008 | 191 Pages | ISBN: 0415428955 | PDF | 2 MB There is considerable debate as to the nature, extent and significance of globalisation. There is also a great deal of discussion of its implications for education, particularly in relation to the spread of global policy. The discussion of globalisation and educational policy has two interrelated aspects - first, the examination of policies as they migrate around the globe, and second, the exploration of the processes of migration and how similar policies emerge in different national contexts. The authors of this book provide a fresh examination of the changes and development that globalisation in education has had on pedagogy. They consider different pedagogic practices and introduce a range of literature from around the world. This pedagogic text will help the reader to consider the impact of globalising processes on many different sectors of education and training.  Global Sustainability: Bending the Curve (Routledge Sei Global Environment and Developmentseries, 3) By G. Gallopin, Paul D. Raskin 2002 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 0415265924 | PDF | 2 MB Unprecedented levels of wealth, technology and institutional capacity can forge a just, peaceful and ecologically resilient future. However, the authors argue, social polarization, geo-political conflict and environmental degradation are threatening the long-term well-being of humanity and the planet. Global Sustainability explores the alternative futures that could emerge from the resolution of these antagonisms. Based on extensive international and interdisciplinary research, the book identifies the perils of market-driven scenarios and considers the possibility of the failure of conventional approaches. It also, however, presents a vision of the possibility of a 'Great Transition' in which revised human values and development goals bring a new stage of civilization. It will be essential reading for all scholars and professionals interested in the future of the environment, international affairs, and sustainable development.  Global Politics of Defense Reform (Initiatives in Strategic Studies: Issues and Policies) By Thomas Bruneau, Harold Trinkunas 2008 | 312 Pages | ISBN: 0230604447 | PDF | 3 MB This volume analyzes the impact of key global trends on civil-military relations by examining defense reform processes since the end of the Cold War. Civil - military relations are reconceptualized to emphasize three dimensions: civilian control of the armed forces, effectiveness in carrying out roles and missions, and efficiency in use of resources. The key global trends that affect these dimensions are the globalization of new norms and ideas, the democratization of governance, technological innovation, and economic liberalization. By focusing on defense reform processes, this book examines cases where civil-military relations can potentially alter quite rapidly under the impact of global trends. By comparing cases across Europe, Asia, North and South America, this book argues that democratization and globalization have had an outsized role in determining the timing and sequence of defense reform and the consequent impact on civil-military relations.  Global Perspectives on Ethics of Corporate Governance By GJ (Deon) Rossouw, Alejo José G. Sison 2006 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1403975841 | PDF | 1 MB This volume takes a "hard look at the soft practice" of corporate governance. It grew out of a series of contributions from the Third ISBEE World Congress on Business Ethics that took place on July 2004 in Melbourne.
