| Summary / Abstract (Note) | No. That is, not unless you believe that globalization is mainly about international trade and investment. But it is much more than that, and rumors of its demise-such as Princeton economic historian Harold James's recent obituary for "The Late, Great Globalization"-have been greatly exaggerated.
Jihadists in Indonesia, after all, can still share their operational plans with like-minded extremists in the Middle East, while Vietnamese artists can now more easily sell their wares in European markets, and Spanish magistrates can team up with their peers in Latin America to bring torturers to justice. Globalization, as political scientist David Held and his coauthors put it, is nothing less than the "widening, deepening and speeding up of worldwide interconnectedness in all aspects of contemporary social life"-and not just from one Bloomberg terminal to another. |
