Book excerpt: "Globalization, Development and Integration offers a European perspective on globalization. It looks at some of the characteristics of the current phase of globalization, such as the asymmetries in the way it manifests itself in daily life, including the crucial and often controversial role played by agriculture, and the effects that it produces on poverty and inequality throughout the world.The book devotes particular attention to the problems experienced by developing countries, by studying what the appropriate macroeconomic policies are to deal with globalization, and how international labour markets work in a globalized economy."--BOOK JACKET.
