Sinopsis

Globalization is moving fast, impacting on the life of all nations with accelerating force.áIn this new study Ronnie Lipschutzáshows how it is being handled by specific groups seeking positive outcomes for the people and causes they represent. Globalization, Governmentality and Global Politicsádetails how the widespread failure of states and corporations to regulate the impact of increased globalization has given rise to non-governmental organizations and movements,áaiming to influence corporations regarding social responsibilities and addressákey issues such asáhuman rights, environmental destruction, unhealthy working conditions and child labour.á Assessingáthe effectiveness of these efforts,áit examinesáboth the newámovements and the issues they are tackling.áWith threeákey case studies on the clothing industry, sustainable forestry and corporate social responsibility,áit explores the tensions between politics and management, examining the theoretical implications of regulation for politics, citizenship and the state. Finally, it takes a fresh look at what is to be done, calling for a return to politics centred on the direct participation of the individual in the social choices that affect quality of life, working conditions andáthe global future.
