Globalization has changed the way humanity is 'grouped,' as witnessed through an evolutionary process from single families into tribes, then city-states and nations, and now what is known as the 'global village,' where all nations and peoples of the world have become highly interdependent. This book considers the effects of globalization on the well-being of humanity, which depends on several still-unresolved factors, and is a comprehensive review of the globalization literature. Adding a human dimension to the discourse of globalization, the book leads the reader well beyond a reiteration of current and past observations on this complex and often controversial subject.
