Global California: Rising to the Cosmopolitan Challenge

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: California is at the cutting edge of technological change, demographic transformation, and international engagement. It has the country`s largest population, and is its biggest producer of agricultural and manufactured goods, its main exporter and importer, and a leading center for higher education, research, the media, and philanthropy. Its population is the most international, more than a quarter of the state`s residents were born in another country. But habits of thought and structures date from the mid-twentieth century, when California was turned inward. California today lacks ideas, institutions, and policies commensurate with its global stakes and clout.Global California addresses an important subject: how the citizens of a state with the dimensions and power of a nation are affected by international trends, and what they can do to identify and promote their own interests in a rapidly changing world. In this fresh, well-informed, and balanced analysis, Abraham Lowenthal deals… [detailed...]

Global Capital and National Governments

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book examines the degree to which international financial markets affect governments` policy choices. It provides empirical evidence as to whether financial globalization creates pressures on governments of developed and developing nations to pursuesimilar policies and to reduce spending on social policies. The book suggests that financial globalization does not lead to a `race to the bottom` among governments, especially in developed nations. It deploys several types of evidence, the most unique are interviews and surveys of investment fund managers. It also compares contemporary government-financial market relations to those prior to World War I. [detailed...]

Global Capital, Political Institutions, and Policy Change in Developed Welfare States (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics)

Publisher: —
Description: This book argues that the dramatic post-1970 rise in international capital mobility has not systematically contributed to the retrenchment of developed welfare states as many claim. Nor has globalization directly reduced the revenue-raising capacities ofgovernments and undercut the political institutions that support the welfare state. Rather, institutional features of the polity and the welfare state determine the extent to which the economic and political pressures associated with globalization produce Welfare state retrenchment.

Jeffry A. Frieden
Global Capitalism: Its Fall and Rise in the Twentieth Century

2007 y.
Publisher: W. W. Norton &, Company, Inc.
Description: Book Review In 1900 international trade reached unprecedented levels and the world`s economies were more open to one another than ever before. Then as now, many people considered globalization to be inevitable and irreversible. Yet the entire edifice collapsed in a few months in 1914. Globalization is a choice, not a fact. It is a result of policy decisions and the politics that shape them. Jeffry A.Frieden`s insightful history explores the golden age of globalization during the early years of the century, its swift collapse in the crises of 1914-45, the divisions of the Cold War world, and the turn again toward global integration at the end of the century. His history is full of character and event, as entertaining as it is enlightening. [detailed...]

Vaclav Smil
Global Catastrophes and Trends: The Next Fifty Years

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Fundamental change occurs most often in one of two ways: as a `fatal discontinuity,` a sudden catastrophic event that is potentially world changing, or as a persistent, gradual trend. Global catastrophes include volcanic eruptions, viral pandemics, wars, and large-scale terrorist attacks, trends are demographic, environmental, economic, and political shifts that unfold over time. In this provocative book, scientist Vaclav Smil takes a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary look at the catastrophes and trends the next fifty years may bring. This is not a book of forecasts or scenarios but one that reminds us to pay attention to, and plan for, the consequences of apparently unpredictable events and the ultimate direction of long-term trends. Smil first looks at rare but cataclysmic events, both natural and human-produced, then at trends of global importance: the transition from fossil fuels to other energy sources, demographic and political shifts in Europe, Japan, Russia, China, the United… [detailed...]

Global Catastrophic Risks

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A global catastrophic risk is one with the potential to wreak death and destruction on a global scale. In human history, wars and plagues have done so on more than one occasion, and misguided ideologies and totalitarian regimes have darkened an entire era or a region. Advances in technology are adding dangers of a new kind. It could happen again. In Global Catastrophic Risks, 26 leading experts look at the gravest risks facing humanity in the 21st century, including natural catastrophes, nuclear war, terrorism, global warming, biological weapons, totalitarianism, advanced nanotechnology, general artificial intelligence, and social collapse. The book also addresses over-arching issues - policy responses and methods for predicting and managing catastrophes.

Global Childhoods: Globalization, Development and Young People

2008 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: This astute book initiates a broad discussion from a variety of different disciplines about how we place children nationally, globally and within development discourses. Unlike other books of its kind, it does not seek to dwell solely on the abiding complexities of local comparisons. Rather, it elaborates larger concerns about the changing nature of childhood, young people’s experiences, their citizenship and the embodiment of their political identities as they are embedded in the processes of national development and globalization. In particular, this book concentrates on three main issues: nation building and developing children, child participation and activism in the context of development, and globalization and children’s live in the context of what has been called the end of development. These are relatively broad research perspectives that find focus in what the authors term reproducing and developing children as a key issue of national and global concern. They further argue… [detailed...]

Global Cities: Cinema, Architecture, and Urbanism in a Digital Age (New Directions in International Studies)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn Global Cities, scholars from an impressive array of disciplines critique the growing body of literature on the process broadly known as `globalization.` This interdisciplinary focus enables the authors to explore the complex geographies of modern cities, and offer possible strategies for reclaiming a sense of place and community in these globalized urban settings. While examining major cities including New York, Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, and Hong Kong, contributors insist that the study of urban experiences must remain as attentive to the material effects as to the psychic and social consequences of globalization. Accordingly, essays explore the implications of global culture for architecture, cinema, and communication?but do soin a way that highlights the importance of the spaces between such metropolitan centers. These locations, the authors argue, serve as increasingly important `frontier zones,` where a diverse set of actors converge and contend for… [detailed...]

Description: There are now more than three hundred city-regions around the world with populations of more than one million. As globalization intensifies, these city-regions come to pose many new questions and problems. This book presents a highly original and multifaceted review of these issues by some of the leading researchers in the field. It seeks at once to define the question of global city-regions and to describe the internal and external dynamics that shape them, it proposes a theorization of global city-regions based on their economic and political responses to intensifying levels of globalization, and it offers a number of policy insights into the severe social problems that confront global city-regions as they come face to face with an economically and politically neoliberal world.

This volume is written for policymakers and informed citizenry who want to understand at a general level the complexities of global climate change without becoming enmeshed in technical minutia.The introduction emphasizes the core fact that climate change issues cut across disciplines. William Schlesinger and Gerald North explain the carbon cycle and how increased greenhouse gases impact temperature. The economics papers deal with the applicability of benefit/cost analysis and then proceed to examine the benefits of avoiding temperature change versus the costs of the various CO2 abatement options.
