Globalisation, Information and Libraries: The Implications of the World Trade Organisation`s GATS and TRIPS Agreements

2005 y.
Publisher: Chandos Publishing (Oxford) Ltd.
Description: This book provides an overview of the World Trade Organisation, in particular, it focuses on two WTO agreements that have significant implications for libraries and information: the General Agreement on Trade in Services (the GATS) and the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). The book aims to raise awareness of these important international agreements and draws attention to the way in which they threaten some of the professions ethics and principles.

Drawing on a wealth of knowledge and many years of experience, Ruth Rikowskis valuable discussion will be of interest to information professionals interested in international implications, NGOs, and globalisation issues. : 15,5 x 23,5 .

Globalisation, Poverty and Conflict : A Critical `Development` Reader

2004 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionIs development passe? Is it merely a by-product or a trickle down effect of economic growth, spurred by globalisation? Will poverty simply diminish with increased global markets? This state-of-the-art critical development reader deals with these and related questions. Globalisation, Poverty and Conflict examines the inter-relationships between globalisation, poverty and conflict. It complements current debates in the field of development studies and, in an era in which development fatigue seems to have become more profound than ever before, it brings the importance of development once again to the forefront. Achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 is a concrete target which many governments have agreed to work towards.Whether these goals can be realised is another issue. Nonetheless, the Millennium Development Goals have brought more focused attention to development in the past few years and renewed debate about [detailed...]

Publisher:
Description: Covering the main aspects of globalisation, namely trade, global financial flows, technology and transnational corporations, and international convergence of real wages, this new book is concerned with the beneficial and harmful aspects of globalisation. The author examines the impact of globalisation on growth, productivity, unemployment, income distribution, technology and institutions, as well as on culture.

Instead, he argues that globalisation and free markets call not for less government but for more, as well as for pressures from the civil society. [detailed...]

Globalising Australian Capitalism

y.
Publisher:
Description: This book tells the story of Australia`s integration into the international economy. It traces the Australian economy from Federation to its inevitable downturn in the 1970s and assesses the current state of play as Australia struggles under the pressures of economic globalisation. Bob Catley argues that the insistent protection of domestic commodity industries has left Australia tied to slow growth industries at the expense of expanding the manufactured goods and services industries which now make up the bulk of world trade. Topics include the inadequacies of the dirigiste dual economy, the necessary rise of economic rationalism, demographic and geographic repercussions of globalisation, and the implications for Australian international relations of theemerging power of the Asia-Pacific region. Catley argues that structural changes are still required to ensure a competitive Australian economy in the world market. [detailed...]

Publisher:
Description: This is the first of four volumes reporting on the UNU-WIDER project on new regionalism. It deals with the conceptions and meanings of two processes which probably will have a crucial influence on the shape of the `new world order`--globalization and regionalization. They relate to each other as challenge to response, globalization being the challenge of economic and cultural homogenization of the world and regionalization being a social and political reaction. The leading writers in the field contribute thought-provoking and fascinating articles to this volume. [detailed...]

Globalism: The New Market Ideology

y.
Publisher:
Description: Globalism: The New Market Ideology rejects the notion that we find ourselves at the end of ideology and that democracy has won. Instead, Steger argues the opening decade of the 21st century will constitute a teeming battlefield of clashing ideologies. The chief protagonist is the dominant neoliberal market ideology Steger calls `globalism.` Although globalism constitutes little more than a gigantic repackaging of old laissez-faire ideas, it deserves the label `new market ideology` because its advocates have been able to link their quaint free-market concepts with cutting-edge `global talk.` At the same time, globalism has already encountered serious ideological challengers from both the political left and right. The anti-WTO protests in Seattle and the demonstrations against the IMF and World Bank in Prague are just the opening salvos of the coming battle over the meaning and direction of globalization. After identifying and evaluating the five central claims of globalism--including [detailed...]

Globalization : A Financial Approach

Publisher:
Description: The global economy is undergoing dramatic financial changes. The removal of technical, trade, and monetary barriers and the liberalization of world economies create challenges and opportunities for investment and financial transactions. With these changes, international finance is expected to play a vital role in foreign exchange, cross-border capital flows, joint ventures, and economic growth, but rapid progress in telecommunications and electronic capital transfers could lead to tremors in financial markets, making the global economy vulnerable to speculation, investors`panic, and economic fluctuations. Supported by the latest empirical research, this book weaves together a theoretical framework of international finance. [detailed...]

Globalization And Equity: Perspectives From The Developing World

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: This book analyzes the links between globalization and equity from the perspectives of seven regions: the Commonwealth of Independent States, East Asia and South Asia, Eastern and Central Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa. It presents the views of researchers from the developing world, voices that are seldom heard in the ongoing debate on globalization, and provides models of successful research conducted in developing and transition countries, thus promoting homegrown expertise. The contributions from different regions reflect their disparate experiences and represent diverse positions on globalization and equity. Nevertheless, they reveal a fledgling consensus on the benefits of the developing world`s entry into a global universe and the necessity for prudent adjustment to the perils of this endeavor. Academics interested in the political economy and development studies as well as policy-oriented researchers and policymakers [detailed...]

Globalization And Governance: Essays On The Challenges For Small States

2004 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionDespite the controversial nature of globalization, there is no doubt that the pace and intensity of global interactions has been multiplied exponentially over the last few decades. Criticism of globalization is generally arranged into three camps: political, economic, and cultural. Political critics point to the status of the small state and conclude either that it is in retreat, or that the state has reconstituted itself to confront the challenges posed by globalization, thereby transforming itself into a `competition state.` Economic critics hold that globalization is nothing new, that international transactions are in the logic of capitalism, and that the trade along the silk route goes back centuries. Cultural critics protest that globalization is taking us headlong into the `homogenization of the world.` Others warn of new fault lines that would lead to `a clash of civilizations` and international conflicts along those lines. Others lament that cultural glo! [detailed...]

Globalization And Social Exclusion: A Transformationalist Perspective

2004 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionWe inhabit a world of consequences and butterfly effects. When global economies integrate, what disintegrates as a result? The answer, Ronaldo Munck contends, is social equality. This is the first book to view globalization through the lens of social exclusion--defined as all the ways in which people are prevented from obtaining the necessities of life. To illustrate how globalization deepens the existing inequities of race, place, gender, and class, in both the global North and South, the author highlights disparities in living conditions, the feminization of poverty and the global sex trade, the effects of racism, migration, and multiculturalism, and the formation and political manifestations of social class. He boldly developsa politics and ethics of transformation to move us beyond social exclusion-?even beyond mere social inclusion. He provides us with the tools to transform society from within, creating a more democratic and just global order. [detailed...]

Globalization And The American South

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: In 1955 the Forbes magazine list of America`s largest corporations included just 18 with headquarters in the Southeast. By 2002 the number had grown to 123. In fact, the South attracted over half of the foreign businesses drawn to the United States in the 1990s. The eight original essays collected here consider this stunning dynamism in ways that help us see anew the region`s place in that ever-accelerating, transnational flow of people, capital, and technology known collectively as `globalization.` Moving between local and global perspectives, the essays discuss how once faraway places like Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Indian Subcontinent are now having an impact on the South. One essay, for example, looks at a range of issues behind the explosive growth of North Carolina`s Latino population, which grew by almost 400 percent during the 1990s-miles ahead of the national growth percentage of 61. In another essay we learn why BMW workers in Germany, frustrated with the [detailed...]
