• 摘要註: This topical book discusses the extent to which the post-war processof globalization may be considered consistent with the basic requisites of sustainable development. The ongoing debate surrounding this important issue has generated widespread interest but has also polarized public opinion into two opposing camps: those in favour of or against globalization, and those concerned or unconcerned with the requisites of sustainable development. This book seeks to prove that these two conceptsare not mutually exclusive, and that the current polarized debate is damaging and misleading. Through exploring the conceptual foundations ofthe issues, as well as comprehensively analysing data and country experiences, the book provides a rational overview of the relationship between the ongoing processes of globalization and sustainable development,and offers guidance on the best policies to keep them under control. The authors offer suggestions on how economic, social and environmental policies might be redirected to eliminate, or at least mitigate, the adverse effects of globalization while strengthening its positive influences on the sustainability of world development. Drawing extensively on empirical information, and covering aspects such as global warming, energy trends, inequalityand health, this book is a vital companion for academics and policymakers active in this area.
