Overview

There is a silent globalization being carried out far below the action of multinational firms, international organizations, and state policies. It is the work of societies - communities of determined and creative people. Communities in Globalization richly illustrates the experiences of three Central American communities connected with global markets. The unique perspective of each is developed to show the economic, political-institutional, and social effects of its connection with world trade. Ultimately, this book seeks to identify the resources that allow a community to face globalization while minimizing risks and maximizing opportunities.

Communities in Globalization is a very important, highly original text that will fill a void in the literatures on globalization, development, and Latin American studies. The authors' writing and argument are clear and the analysis is sophisticated, making it ideal for both undergraduate and graduate courses. There is simply no other text that addresses the topic of community development under globalization the way in which this book does. -- Jose Itzigsohn, Brown University
