What is Globalization and contestation: the new great counter-movement (Rethinking Globalizations) about?

Globalization is undoubtedly the great overarching paradigm of our era. However, there is still little agreement on what globalization actually ‘is’ and some do not accept that it ‘is’ anything at all. This new book addresses the contestation of globalization by the anti- or counter-globalization movement. To contest means to challenge, to call into question, to doubt, to oppose and to litigate.

Globalization and Contestation will be of great interest to all students and scholars of international relations, poli
