Globalization has lifted millions out of poverty. Globalization is a weapon the rich use to exploit the poor. Globalization builds bridges across national boundaries. Globalization fuels the populism and great-power competition that is tearing the world apart.  When it comes to the politics of free trade and open borders  the camps are dug in  producing a kaleidoscope of claims and counterclaims  unlikely alliances  and unexpected foes. But what exactly are we fighting about? And how might we approach these issues more productively? Anthea Roberts and Nicolas Lamp cut through the confusion with an indispensable survey of the interests  logics  and ideologies driving these intractable debates  which lie at the heart of so much political dispute and decision making. The authors expertly guide us through six competing narratives about the virtues and vices of globalization: the old establishment view that globalization benefits everyone (win-win)  the pessimistic belief that it threatens us all with pandemics and climate change (lose-lose)  along with various rival accounts that focus on specific winners and losers  from China to Americas Rust Belt.  Instead of picking sides  Six Faces of Globalization gives all these positions their due  showing how each deploys sophisticated arguments and compelling evidence. Both globalizations boosters and detractors will come away with their eyes opened. By isolating the fundamental value conflictsgrowth versus sustainability  efficiency versus social stabilitydriving disagreement and showing where rival narratives converge  Roberts and Lamp provide a holistic framework for understanding current debates. In doing so  they showcase a more integrative way of thinking about complex problems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45495947657269,"sku":"ByrdShop_0674245954","price":28.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780674245952.jpg?v=1780903760","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/six-faces-of-globalization-who-wins-who-loses-and-why-it-matters-9780674245952","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
