POLITICAL ECONOMY IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD

“A timely and insightful analysis of the global political economy. Jørgen Ørstrøm Møller draws on his rich experience to explicate the dangers and opportunities of globalization.”

“Economic and political interdependence becomes an important facet of our world today. The challenges facing society, nations, firms, and the ordinary citizens as they confront, adapt, and meet the banner of globalization are all played out and discussed in this highly analytical book. Retired ambassador, diplomat, and academician, Professor Moeller has incisively collected his thoughts on these issues displaying the richness of his ideas, laying the background, and showing the way forward. A must read for anyone interested in the global political economy!”

“There are a handful of international forces that will shape our world this century and there are only a handful of thinkers who can integrate these trends and explain their consequences. Joergen Moeller tackles the rise of China and India, Europe's role in this new Asia, the socio-political impact of globalization, the potential structural weaknesses in the U.S. economy, and the need for an international political culture based on mutual respect and tolerance — and he does so with cogency and clarity. For people who enjoy thinking about the big picture, at times penetrating, at times iconoclastic, and at times just unsettling, this is your book.”

“Without question the author has given readers a book that's well worth reading. Its contents are far from trivial and could be instructive to leaders and citizens who strive to bring about a global civil society wherein the central concern is for human well-being, peace, security and stability … The book is well written, substantive, challenging and extensively researched. In this reviewer's judgement, it should not be missed by university students, their teachers as well as policy-makers and general readers.”
