Book synopsis

The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research is based in Abu Dhabi, UAE. An ongoing and pervasive phenomenon, globalization is redefining the economic, social and cultural dynamics of contemporary societies in complex ways. The process of globalization is generally considered beneficial, but it is also viewed in some quarters as a threat to national sovereignty and indigenous culture. Although globalization has largely arisen as a result of greater stability and security, its key developments can also be deployed towards the opposite end. Without global integration, for example, terrorist groups would find it much more difficult to unobtrusively communicate, travel and transfer money and materials.Globalization has also facilitated illegal international trade, be it in materials, people or money. Here experts discuss globalization and its economic foundations and manifestations; migration and freedom of mobility; the social implications of globalization; politics in a globalized international system; new security threats resulting from globalization; and evolving national and commercial global responsibilities. 'Globalization in the 21st Century' is essential for all those interested in international relations, politics and change in the twenty-first century.
