Description -- pt. 2. Diagnosis -- pt. 3. Interrogation -- pt. 4. Remedies. 330 $b'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. 606 $aGlobalization$xSocial aspects 606 $aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects 606 $aViolence 615 0$aGlobalization$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aViolence. 676 $a303.482 700 $aKirby$b Peadar$0853770 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782008503321 996 $aVulnerability and violence$93684924 997 $aUNINA
