ABSTRACT
Globalisation is a multidimensional concept having various important facets that entail economic, financial, technological and social and political processes, which continually transform the global economy, society and polity. In this book we focus on seven key aspects of globalisation: transborder trade, transborder movement of capital, emergence of a new international order, diffusion and homogenisation of economic cultures and institutions, labour market consequences, governance issues; finally prospects and problems of our global economy and society. The choice of these themes for the book is not fortuitous by any measure, these are rather carefully chosen to illuminate the complex path that globalisation has trod. In the following paragraph we explain the relevance of these themes in a coherent manner.
