Contents:
1. The power of globalization -- 2. Mapping globalization -- 3. Globalization : an ascendant paradigm? -- 4. Critical globalization studies -- 5. Ideologies and the globalization agenda -- 6. 'Common-sense' representations of globalization protests (co-authored with Glenn Adler) -- 7. Bringing in micro-encounters -- 8. Alterglobalization.
Review: "Globalization is usually said to be about markets, power, and culture. Whither Globalization? goes further, arguing that globalization may also be understood as a way of knowing and representing the world. Mittelman debunks prevalent myths about globalization and 'anti-globalization', presenting 'alterglobalization' as another force and indicating the prospects for a new common sense about world order. Drawing on original field research in Japan and the United States, this book shows how globalization itself and globalization studies have changed since 9/11. Compact and accessible, Whither Globalization? is a major statement by one of the leading scholars in the field and is essential reading for students in the social sciences, especially international studies and international political economy."--BOOK JACKET.
