Preface The G-20 has commenced its activities since the inception in 1999 in Germany. However the international community only began to recognize its importance after the United States hosted the first G-20 Summit in 2008 in Washington. This first summit signaled the change of the G-20 from ministerial to summit level. The G-20 became a high profiled forum after the group’s leaders agreed to hold G-20 Summits twice a year and argued for the need to pursue urgently an agenda for rescuing the world economy from malaise. They accepted that unless they work together in close coordination and cooperation, the world economy would continue to decline. The profile of G-20 has been rocketing highly since the G-20 leaders agreed that G-20 should become the premier forum for their economic cooperation.

  • Globalization's Contradictions
    Globalization’s Contradictions Since the 1980s, globalization and neoliberalism have brought about a comprehen- sive restructuring of everyone’s lives. People are being ‘disciplined’ by neoliberal economic agendas, ‘transformed’ by communication and information technology changes, global commodity chains and networks, and in the Global South in particular, destroyed livelihoods, debilitating impoverishment and disease pan- demics, among other disastrous disruptions, are also globalization’s legacies. This collection of geographical treatments of such a complex set of processes unearths the contradictions in the impacts of globalization on peoples’ lives. Globalization’s Contradictions firstly introduces globalization in all its intricacy and contrariness, followed by substantive coverage of globalization’s dimensions. Areas that are covered in depth are: • globalization’s macroeconomic faces • globalization’s unruly spaces • globalization’s geopolitical faces • ecological globalization • globalization’s cultural challenges • globalization from below • fair globalization Globalization’s Contradictions is a critical examination of the continuing role of international and supranational institutions and their involvement in the political and economic management and determination of global restructuring. Deliberately, this collection raises questions, even as it offers geographical insights and thought- ful assessments of globalization’s multifaceted ‘faces and spaces’.
