Globalization and Fragmentation: International Relations in the Twentieth Century
Book details
Summary
Description
As we approach the end of the twentieth century, there is widespread interest in globalization which is thought to be shaping our lives technologically, economically, culturally, and in terms of changing political identities. Ian Clark takes globalization and its opposite, fragmentation as the
organizing themes for a grand retrospective of twentieth-century international history. Challenging the presentation of globalization as a pre-ordained, technology-driven, and irreversible process, he argues that both globalization and fragmentation have ebbed and flowed throughout the century,
governed by its great formative events: westernization, the two World Wars, the depression, and the rise and fall of the cold war.
Globalization and Fragmentation offers a succinct, original critique of the century's international developments. It sets out a challenging analysis of globalization as a process reflecting political relations both between and within states, and brings together the historical and theoretical study
of international relations.
