Abstract

This final chapter provides a summary of globalization in the current economic, social, and political climate. The first part of the chapter provides an up-to-date representation of globalization. The second part of the chapter gives a reappraisal of globalization, and thus the third part of the chapter offers deconstructive discussion on the theoretical concept of globalization. In the final section of the chapter, the editors of the volume provide concluding thoughts on globalization.
