GOING GLOBAL: KEY QUESTIONS FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
Going Global addresses a series of aspects of globalisation including emerging economies, the gap between rich and poor nations, global communications, feeding the world's population, migration, terrorism, crime, climate change and energy.
The chapter headings are:
1. Getting your mind round globalisation
2. How fast will the global economy grow?
3. Will the emerging economies catch up with the West?
4. Will the gap between the richest and the poorest countries narrow?
5. How will the world feed its growing population?
6. What will happen to global migration?
7. How will global communications impact people's lives?
8. How will the world be governed?
9. What will successful organisations be like?
10. Who will win the 'war on terror'?
11. Will global crime get the upper hand?
12. How will the world manage climate change?
13. Will we have enough energy?
14. What will change?
In each case the book reviews where we are now, looks at potential trends for the next twenty years and then considers the implications.
Professor Jan Aart Scholte of the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation at the University of Warwick has commented: 'A compact and comprehensive guide for the concerned citizen. Globalisation is made accessible, the choices ahead are made clear.'
