Overview

Global Shaping and Its Alternatives offers a unique series of reflections on the connections between market capitalism, the politics of alternatives, and the cultural elaboration of social change. It argues that there is a need for an alternative explanatory framework on globalization - one that rejects fatalism and that highlights the dynamic roles of states, NGOs, local fractions of capital, democratic movements and gendered social relations. Without understanding how global shaping is taking place and how it affects human life across the globe, there can be no transformational possibility for humanizing our conditions of existence.

Reviews

Strong on analysis of how women, particularly women of the global South, are impacted by the ongoing globalization of capital. . . A fine introduction for scholars who are relatively new to the areas of globalization and anti-globalization. . . would be good to have on an upper-level undergraduate syllabus. The book presents a refreshingly different, if controversial, view of globalization from that of other institutions with vested interests.
