ABSTRACT
A title search on ‘globalisation’ in the business section of Amazon will typically yield a results list of over 500 books. Refer to the USA Library of Congress Catalogue, and a brief search of books published between 2000 and 2004 will yield a list of more than 5,000 titles published during that period alone. Points of view within these publications vary from ‘the world is flat’ to ‘the world is most definitely still round’, and manage to encompass most shapes in between.
