Review: "In this groundbreaking book, Peters explores the phenomenon of globalization and asks whether it helps or harms society. She identifies and examines four competing theories of globalization and argues that these four visions of our world are incomplete and ultimately unhelpful. Instead, she offers a set of normative criteria that should guide all of society in a world characterized by globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
