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 major viewpoints on globalization internationally. Since the reform and opening-up, China has increasingly integrated into the international community, and economic globalization has undoubtedly had a significant impact on China. However, the international community holds various opinions on globalization, with some views even being diametrically opposed. Praise for globalization is plentiful, with some arguing it has promoted global economic growth, while strong opposition exists, claiming it has exacerbated poverty and inequality. The authors of this book elaborate on the pros and cons of globalization, arguing that theoretically, globalization is correct, but in practice, it requires addressing many issues, such as the process, management, wealth distribution, and social justice. Some even propose alternative cooperation models to globalization: cosmopolitanism and multilateral cooperation. These experts do not blindly praise or criticize globalization. Instead, they offer insightful perspectives that help people gain a clear understanding of globalization. This book is a forward-looking academic work and is included in the "Contemporary Academic Trends Translation Series."
