The Follies of Globalisation Theory

The Follies of Globalisation Theory 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.
