Summary: It is frequently assumed that globalization has the same features and impact around the globe, such as the feminization of poverty, labour and even peace. These ideas circulate in official documents and scientific writings, where they settle practically as truths and become global orthodoxies. This book is about deconstructing those orthodoxies.
