Abstract

Globalization must be one of the most intellectually stalked, intensely observed, comprehensively analysed and perhaps over-researched processes in recent academic history. One would have thought, therefore, that some of the crucial issues that globalization has catapulted to the foreground of political debate and discussion would have been subjected to some degree of conceptual clarification. Yet it is not even clear how it affects politics and what the chances are of initiating potentially transformative politics of well-being, a major theme of this book.
