TWO FACES OF GLOBALIZATION – TRUTH AND DECEPTIONS
“Two Faces of Globalization – Truth and Deceptions” is Dr. Orhan Dragaš’s research into the state of globalization today and the possible directions for its development a decade after the 2008 global financial crisis. The author deals with key aspects of globalization today – economic, political, social and cultural cohesion in the world, in light of the remediation of the effects of the 2008 global crisis. He paid special attention to the three most important entities of contemporary globalization – the United States, the European Union, and China, analyzing their potential to influence the strengthening of global ties, but on the other hand, their potential to weaken and even bring them into crisis. The subject of this study is also contemporary political and social phenomena that are an integral part of globalization 4.0, such as, for example, populist movements around the world, or new media.
The author offers a balanced approach to contemporary globalization processes, denies their ideological character and proves that it is a process that changes its appearance but does not lose its intensity. Among the reviewers of this book, which has had two editions, are some of the biggest names in world economic and international relations theorists such as Steve H. Hanke, Daniel Lacalle, Martin Wolf, Sir Ivor Roberts, Neil Dooley, Jonathan Grant, Emre Alkin.
The foreword for the second edition was written by Dr. Tamas David-Barrett, a professor at Oxford University.
