Summary: The volume inspects the phenomena of globalization within the framework of geopolitics. It presents a political thesis to explain what is primarily viewed as an economic phenomenon.Review: "The key underlying concern in this volume is the lesson that the evolution and contemporary structuring of globalization holds for developing countries. Cast within the overall conceptual framework of international relations theory, it explores how the process of globalization still remains 'truncated' - basically confined to the 'triad' of the US. Europe, and Japan." "The book operates on a vast theoretical and empirical canvas. It informs readers on the nature of globalization and the role of markets and geopolitics. It then applies its findings to the understanding of developmental success in the original 'Asian tigers' the Southeast Asian nations, and China. Its treatment of India and Pakistan is noteworthy for its illumination of the contrast between the two countries in the interaction of geopolitics and economic policy." "This book will be of interest to scholars of politics and international relations, and economics as well as to journalists, policy planners and the informed general reader."--BOOK JACKET.
