This is a blue ribbon collection of major articles and position papers on the concept of globalisation. By bringing together a number of major thinkers and different perspectives, this book provides a broad introduction to the topic, which lays the groundwork for an interdisciplinary collaborative dialogue. Contributors include Kofi Annan, Francis Fukuyama, and Bill McKibben. The fact that we live in a globally interconnected world has become a cliche. Scholars, business leaders, and policy makers are increasingly concerned with globalisation, yet the study of these changes is still in its infancy.

By bringing together a number of major thinkers and different perspectives, this book provides an introduction to the topic. It broadens the scope and lays the ground work for an interdisciplinary collaborative dialogue.
