TY - GEN T1 - The ascent of globalisation A1 - Blutstein, Harry LA - English PP - Manchester PB - Manchester University Press YR - 2016 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocn962073670 AB - "The ascent of globalisation tells the sweeping historical drama of the development of globalisation, from the Second World War to the present day. The story is told through the richly detailed accounts of eighteen remarkable men and women, describing how these architects reshaped the modern world, for better or worse. Profiling their lives, ideas and struggles reveals fresh insights into the nature of globalisation. The book also examines their legacies, shedding new light on many of the problems the world faces today: the global financial crisis, the political and economic malaise afflicting Europe, the numerous failures of the United Nations, the unchecked power of corporations and the inability of governments to cooperate on critical issues such as climate change."-- OP - 256 CN - JZ1318 .B628 2016eb SN - 9781784996673 SN - 178499667X SN - 9780719099717 SN - 0719099714 SN - 9781784992897 SN - 1784992895 SN - 9781526104311 SN - 1526104318 KW - Globalization.
