Globalisation by Rob Bowden
Over the last few decades, faster, more efficient communications technology, transport and financial systems have combined to make the world a much smaller place. "Globalisation" examines the far-reaching effects of these changes, and identifies the winners and losers in the new global era. While vast corporations in the developed world have gained enormous wealth and power, people living in less developed countries have often lost their livelihoods and seen their environments destroyed. Will the divide between the world's rich and poor inevitably get ever wider? Or will it be possible to harness the forces of globalisation so that they truly bring benefits for all? Opposing viewpoints are given throughout to provide opportunities for discussion and debate.
The author, Rob Bowden, is a freelance development geographer who has taught at the universities of Sussex, Brighton and Keele and worked in Africa and the Middle East. He specializes in international environment and development issues and has written numerous children's books. The consultant, Dr Rebecca Elmhirst, is a senior lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Brighton where she teaches courses on globalisation, development and social theory.
