'This volume provides valuable insights on the construction and dynamics of global civil society, including a sympathetic critique of currently fashionable cosmopolitan prescriptions for global order. The range of contributions make for varied and interesting reading, while the emphasis on both the ethics of globalization and global ethics ensures thematic coherence, as well as opportunity for normative reflection. In short this is a timely contribution to the political sociology of globalization.' Professor Barrie Axford, Oxford Brookes University, UK 'This wide-ranging collection of chapters provides original contributions to the increasingly important debates over globalization, civil society and ethics. The contributors look beyond many of the established conceptual frames in this field to identify new forms of analysis. This book achieves a good balance between theoretical debate and well-informed case studies that will stimulate anyone interested in globalization and the dilemmas of contemporary politics and society.' Professor Larry Ray, University of Kent, UK '...ideally suited for students seeking an introduction to a wider range of liberal responses to globalization than is currently offered by the literature on cosmopolitanism.'
