Bibliography About the Authors
Lui Hebron is associate dean of graduate programs at Hult International Business School. John F. Stack Jr. is founding dean of the Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs and professor of politics and international relations and professor of law at Florida International University.
Globalization: Debunking the Myths is better than ever in its third
edition. This book-a tour de force on an important subject-is
rigorous yet also accessible. Hebron and Stack offer a profound
assessment of globalization as an evolving concept. They address
the dynamics of globalization thoroughly, offering a comprehensive
account of globalization's impact on the political economy of the
world along dimensions that include stability, cooperation and
conflict, sovereignty, cultural identity, and the environment. This
even-handed study concludes that benefits from globalization
outweigh its costs. Both academic and general audiences will learn
from this valuable book. -- Patrick James, University of Southern
California
This clear and lively book provides an invaluable overview of the
complexities of globalization. The authors synthesize the central
debates-economic, political, social, cultural, and
environmental-surrounding globalization, and do so in a manner that
is simultaneously sophisticated and accessible. The third edition
maintains the text's balanced, jargon-free analysis, while updating
the content of ongoing contestations over globalization and its
consequences. Hebron and Stack make a compelling case that both the
proclaimed benefits of globalization and its alleged dangers have
been exaggerated. -- Sheila Croucher, Miami University
With populist anti-globalization growing in developed and
developing societies alike, there has never been a more pressing
time for this new edition. Thoroughly informed and always lucid, it
illuminates the many dimensions of a powerful and contentious
complex of forces. This sober and balanced analysis is the perfect
antidote to the exaggerated claims and counter-claims distorting
the public conversation. -- James Piscatori, Australian National
University
A first-rate, clearly written, extremely informative, and
thought-provoking text. Especially valuable for students are the
way the authors have laid out the issues, provided questions at the
end of each chapter, and integrated their extensive research. --
