The Follies of Globalisation Theory

<i>The Follies of Globalisation Theory </i>is an erudite and lively critique arguing that current fashionable preoccupations such as the concern with spatiality have generated deep intellectual confusions that stand in the way of a clear understanding of the modern world. It shows how and why these confusions ultimately condemn the globalization theorists themselves to a peculiar and quixotic stance: the more clearly they attempt to articulate their arguments the more equivocal and evasive those arguments become yielding at best the intellectual equivalent of an architectural folly.
