The Economic Impact of Globalisation

This book examines the economics of globalization within a modern world defined by instability and multipolar equilibrium. It presents globalization as a complex, multifaceted process that reshapes the world economy in profound ways. Particular attention is given to the ways that globalization creates economic interconnectedness, the spread of cultures, the movement of people, and the rise of global economic governance structures. By contextualizing the current challenges to globalization within its long history, the ways that economics can combat poverty, create education opportunities, and engage with artificial intelligence are outlined.

This book explores the changing nature of globalization as global economic and political dynamics continue to evolve. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in international economics, the global political economy, and economic policy.
