Features: "Globalization" is one of the most pressing issues in the international economic community and academia today. This book collects discussions on globalization by six renowned international scholars, including Nobel laureate in Economics Joseph Stiglitz, and reflects the main international perspectives on globalization. Since the reform and opening-up, China has been increasingly integrating into the international community, and economic globalization has undoubtedly had a significant impact on China. However, the international community holds various views on globalization, with some opinions even being sharply contrasting. Praisers of globalization argue that it has boosted global economic development, while critics contend that it has exacerbated poverty and inequality. The authors of this book elaborate on the pros and cons of globalization, stating that it is theoretically sound but practically requires addressing many issues, such as the pace of progress, management, wealth distribution, and social justice. Some also propose alternative models to globalization, such as cosmopolitanism and multilateral cooperation. These experts do not blindly praise or criticize globalization but instead offer insightful perspectives that help people gain a clear understanding of it. This book is a forward-looking academic work and is included in the "Contemporary Academic Trends Translation Series."
