The Tomorrow Project has a new publication, Going Global: Key Questions for the Twenty-First Century, which was published last month by A & C Black with Guardian Books.
The book aims to provide readers with a ‘map’ of globalisation and its chapter headings are: 1. Getting your mind round globalisation; 2. How fast will the global economy grow? 3. Will the emerging economies catch up with the West? 4. Will the gap between the richest and the poorest countries narrow? 5. How will the world feed its growing population? 6. What will happen to global migration? 7. How will global communications impact people’s lives? 8. How will the world be governed? 9. What will successful organisations be like? 10. Who will win the “war on terror”? 11. Will global crime get the upper hand? 12. How will the world manage climate change? 13. Will we have enough energy? 14. What will change?
Each of the questions is addressed under three headings - Where have we come from? Where are we going? What do we need to think about?
Professor Jan Aart Scholte of the Centre for Globalisation and Regional Studies has commented: "A compact and comprehensive guide for the concerned citizen. Globalisation is made accessible, the choices ahead are made clear."
Going Global has been produced as part of the Tomorrow Project's collaboration with the Economic & Social Research Council and can be ordered by clicking here.
