Inequality, Globalization, and World Politics

Essays compiled by editors Andrew Hurrell and Ngaire Woods examine globalization's current inequalities and prospects for future justice and injustice. Each selection looks at a different aspect of these issues, with contributors primarily reviewing history, analyzing each topic, and avoiding hard prescriptions. Where they do offer proposals, the ideas are carefully reasoned, modest, and practical. Many chapters' concepts overlap, emphasizing the interconnections among these issues. The writing varies from straightforward to academic, but the book is readable, avoids jargon, and argues clearly. Copious endnotes help the reader find more information. We [...] recommend this book to those interested in international economic and trade policy, economic and social justice, international policies, and the new global economy's changing power structures.
