Synopsis
Veltmeyer (international development studies, St. Mary's U.) presents 10 contributions examining the macrodynamics of globalization and the antiglobalization movement, with a particular focus on Latin America. Approaching the topic from a perspective that sees globalization as a form of neo-imperialism, writers such as James Petras, Noam Chomsky, and Paul Bowles, present their views of globalization and antiglobalization as worldwide phenomenae and examine their particularities as related to the World Bank policies towards Mexico and Latin American labor, the politics of Cuba and Venezuela, and Asia's move towards regionalism.
