The Myth of Media Globalization30,99 €
The dynamic that currently underlies global social change is the product of forces that are not of a single type or origin. As a consequence, that change is experienced as a process that uproots individuals but gives no guidance for the future, that destroys but does not reconstruct, that prescribes action but provides no reassurance. The radical uncertainty it engenders is an understandable source of anxiety: the rich countries are increasingly worried about competition from low-wage economies, while the wretched of the earth suspect their precarious existences will come under even greater pressure. Within each nation, the constantly growing gap between winners and losers exacerbates these fears. The Great Disruption is at its height. This book is an examination and interpretation of the enormous complex of social changes which, for want of a better word, we term globalization.
"An ambitious, theory driven, historically grounded engagement withthe politics and political economy of globalization."
Sociological Review
"The main strength of The Great Disruption is that itshows how the outsourcing of authority to the expert and tointernational bodies leads to today's peculiarly risk-averseand regulation-obsessed policymaking."
Frank Furedi, sp!ked review of books
"A wide-ranging erudite exploration of contemporary socialchange that presents a compelling case for refashioning governanceof an emergent more global world. Zaki Laïdi asks keyquestions and offers innovative answers: about rethinkingsovereignty, reconfiguring the state, providing public goods andinterrogating alterglobalism."
Jan Aart Scholte, University of Warwick
"This original and challenging text is based on solid researchand scholarship. The author offers challenging redefinitions of keyconcepts and every section contains a wealth of insights, newarguments and interesting linkages. A key part of the overallargument is Laïdi's contrast between the approaches of theEuropean Union and the United States to globalization and itsgovernance and the problems and contradictions of each approach.The analysis is always nuanced, sensitive to institutionaldifferences, aware of hierarchies of power and different positionsin global divisions of labour, and committed to the search foralternatives to the current structures of globalization and theirconsequences."
