Presenting new analytical and policy-oriented research, this timely study examines the positive, as well as the negative social impact of globalization in countries at various stages of economic development. The report looks at how globalization stimulates output and income for some nations, but can also create wider income equalities, job instability, and economic vulnerability. It investigates what kinds of policies (economic, social and labor) can be adopted to improve the benefits and reduce the costs as the world becomes more economically integrated. Using statistical evidence, empirical research, and the use of modern tools of economic analysis, this book examines the social impact in Bangladesh, Chile, Mauritius, Poland, Republic of Korea, South Africa, and Switzerland. Accompanying this synthesis study are detailed reports on each of these seven countries, which can be purchased separately.

We live today in an interconnected world in which ordinary people can became instant online celebrities to fans thousands of miles away, in which religious leaders can influence millions globally, in which humans are altering the climate and environment, and in which complex social forces intersect across continents. This is globalization. In the fifth edition of his bestselling Very Short Introduction Manfred B. Steger considers the major dimensions of globalization: economic, political, cultural, ideological, and ecological. He looks at its causes and effects, and engages with the hotly contested question of whether globalization is, ultimately, a good or a bad thing. From climate change to the Ebola virus, Donald Trump to Twitter, trade wars to China's growing global profile, Steger explores today's unprecedented levels of planetary integration as well as the recent challenges posed by resurgent national populism.
