Diagnosis -- pt. 3. Interrogation -- pt. 4. Remedies.'Vulnerability' is now a key term in globalisation studies. It is used to describe how globalisation impacts on individual security, local communities and even global flows of trade, finance and investment. Yet there has been little attempt to interrogate the term and what it is trying to express about globalisation.Peadar Kirby examines what is really meant by 'vulnerability' and links it to new forms of violence that have resulted from decreased security and social cohesion. He argues that vulnerability and violence are characteristic features of a new world order dominated by neoliberal globalisation. Illustrating his argument with a wealth of examples taken from all over the world -- from the sudden collapse of the middle class in Argentina to increased levels of poverty internationally -- he offers a robust theoretical grounding that will be of use to anyone studying vulnerability and violence and their relation to contemporary globalisation.GlobalizationSocial aspectsGlobalizationEconomic aspectsViolenceGlobalizationSocial aspects.GlobalizationEconomic aspects.Violence.303.482Kirby Peadar853770MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824050503321Vulnerability and violence4073900UNINA
