Overview

In the face of recent economic shocks, the interconnected world developed by the hegemonic structures of post–World?War?II globalism is forced to adapt. But how will it react to uncertainties resulting from changes to the structure of free trade, disruptions to supply chains and just-in-time inventories, and increasing national calls that question the benefits of migration? Will there be a united response to check financial crises, climate disruptions, and structural imbalances in world trade as people seek to better their lives outside of their birthplace? Or will the responses intensify the conflicts and crises surrounding immigration policies today? Written by scholars who take interdisciplinary approaches to these challenges, the essays in this volume explore what a new international economic order could look like. Bringing together philosophical, spiritual, sociological, theological, and ethical treatments of the issues, the chapters address how globalization either supports or destroys life; how we measure income and understand structures that will either perpetuate or overcome the systems exacerbating inequality; and, finally, how, with philosophical grounding, we can better understand globalization from the perspectives of history, ethics, and regional development studies.
