Farhang Rajaee provides a fresh and critical inquiry into the nature of globalization.
Rajaee's staring point is the combination of the fall of the bipolar world system, the advent of the information revolution, and the emergence of postmodern thinking that has ushered in a new epoch. What opportunities, he asks, must we seize? What dangers must we overcome? Addressing these questions, and taking a broad historical approach, he looks at the nature of human governance and how we will have to adapt to meet the challenges of the global information age.
