The book's title is borrowed from McLuhan's apt metaphor, but questions its underlying assumptions. The contributors recast some of the basic elements of the complex phenomenon of the so-called globalization. Trade laws, industrial relations, economic and political systems are analyzed in a critical perspective. Moreover, environment and sustainable development, languages' rights, education, mobility and migrations are discussed in view of contemporary changes that societies are undergoing throughout the world. The vulnerability of societies caught up in new networks of interdependence due to reduced distances also are put to the fore, in the context of the new accelerated circulation of information, ideas, goods, and human beings. Provacative reading for scholars interested in a multinational, Euro-Atlanticist perspective on globalization. The international discourse is most recently focused on some negative outgrowths of world economy, especially after the Seattle Round (December 1999) and its unexpected uprising of protests. The researches of the Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies (University of Genoa), in cooperation with scholars from Europe, Canada and the United States, offer in this collection of essays a multinational contribution which is part of their work in progress on the multifaceted issue of the contemporary global village. The book features some optimistic outcomes, and some worries about what the new millennium will not achieve, despite the common and transnational efforts, that is to say a fair re-distribution of resources to reach what R. W. Fogel defines a post-modern equality, based on values as well as on material wealth. In sum, the essayists wonder if some of the hidden promises of globalization will develop in a better new century. 517 3 $aSocieties, cultures, and political-economic systems in a Euro-Atlantic perspective 606 $aGlobalization$vCongresses 615 0$aGlobalization 676 $a303.48/2 701 $aGennaro Lerda$b Valeria$0283334 712 02$aUniversita? di Genova.$bCenter for Euro-Atlantic Studies.$bInternational Conference$d(2nd :$f1998 :$eGenoa, Italy) 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962521203321 996 $aWhich "global village"$94340219 997 $aUNINA
