| Annotation | "Going global" has been produced as one element of a partnership agreement between the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Tomorrow Project, designed to aid the transfer of academic knowledge to business and other academics. The authors not only explain how we can make sense of globalisation, they also consider 12 questions most commonly asked about the world today. Of most interest to the field of ageing would be those on: the gap between the richest and poorest countries; population and food resources; migration; climate change; and energy supplies. Other themes covered concern the global economy, communications, global governance, organisations, the "war on terror", and global crime. Each question is approached by asking: "Where have we come from? Where are we going? What do we need to think about?" (RH). |
