Review:
John H. Dunning, Reading University and Rutgers University
Richard Langhorne is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Center for Global Change and Governance at Rutgers University.
Every now and then a book comes along which is a 'must' read for anyone interested in its subject matter. This is one such book. It pulls no punches as it describes some of the downsides of globalisation, as carefully and critically as it identifies its benefits.
John H. Dunning, Reading University and Rutgers University
