In this optimistic book Martin Khor, director of the influential Third World Network, sets out concrete proposals for what Third World governments can do to shape globalization to their particular circumstances.

Rethinking Globalization

• Explains what economic globalization means in trade, finance and investment
• Shows how globalization is not increasing economic growth in most countries, or reducing inequality and poverty
• Criticises  Western government for their undemocratic domination of the international policy process
• Refutes the 'one size fits all' policy prescriptions foisted by the World Bank, IMF and WTO on developing countries
• Arques that these countries must themselves be allowed to decide when and how to open their economies to the global system.
