Inequity in the Global Village: Recycled Rhetoric and Disposable People

by Jan Knippers Black

* Links development issues generally treated in isolation
* Demonstrates how global transformations affect real people and communities

As globalization rapidly replaces the cold war paradigm, the narrow distribution of benefits from globalization has created a disturbing gap in wealth and power both among and within states. In an impassioned style, Jan Black analyzes the problems of increased nationalism, growing refugee populations, and the politics of exclusion. This is a critical and brutally honest commentary on the complex transformation from a bipolar world to a global village.
