Contents:

Introduction: what's going on and what's it all about? -- Globalisation in historical context -- The theory of globalisation -- Technology, innovation and globalisation -- Multinationals, corporate diversity and globalisation -- The practice of globalisation -- The global architecture -- Global challenges: conflict and terrorism; inequality; economic crises; and climate change -- Tax competition, avoidance and evasion and unproductive capital -- Policy implications for governments and political parties -- Conclusion.

Summary: Globalisation impacts almost all aspects of our lives. Smart-phones give access to news, documents and communications instantaneously and globally. It is said that change is accelerating, and the nation state is increasingly anachronistic. This book challenges that consensus. Globalisation is as old as capitalism, as is technological change. The reduced power of national governments is due to the free-market form of globalisation created by the 1980s administrations of Thatcher and Reagan leading to the 2008-2009 global financial crisis and recession. We need to move beyond this, taxing wealth and speculation to create a new era of sustainable development, globally
