Book Description
Babel Inc. is an essential primer on the politics of globalisation and multiculturalism. Bolton demonstrates that conventional distinctions between the political left and right have been transcended by transnational corporations who regard the remnants of the nation-state as the last hurdle for global domination and the attainment of their "new world order." Babel Inc. is an expos of multiculturalism as a "social control mechanism" that scorches the earth in preparation for the coming of the rationale of global capitalism: homo globicus. This global man will be at home anywhere in the world because the world will be homogeneously liberal. If that idea seems farfetched now, perhaps at the conclusion of Babel Inc. it will seem less a possibility than a growing reality. The strength of Bolton's book lies not just in his studious research of historical facts, but also in his ability to focuses on the theoretical root causes of the problem, i.e., the dynamics of the Enlightenment and its religion of Progress, coupled with the starry-eyed American Puritanism, whose violent and inhumane secular avatars can no longer be ignored. "Dr. Kerry Bolton's book Babel Inc. Multiculturalism, Globalisation, and the New World Order has the potential to be truly explosive." - Mark W. Dyal

Book Description
Globalization as we know it today would be unimaginable without the revolution in information and communication technologies of the last thirty years. Yet have we achieved “one world” as the promotional hype for cellular and digital networks would have it? This collection of essays, Global Babel: Questions of Discourse and Communication in a Time of Globalization, explores the current state of communication and discourse in a globalized environment. The essays are united by an awareness that, whether understood technologically, economically, epistemologically, or culturally, globalization is a discursive field with discrepant assumptions, categories and conclusions. As such, globalization is double-edged, and complex. It can certainly enable the exploitation of the powerless by the powerful; in different contexts, or at different moments, it can also facilitate individual and collective agency. It is this doubleness, this complexity, that this collection seeks to bring into focus. This volume offers an interdisciplinary forum where technological, aesthetic, and ethical issues relating to globalization inhabit the same conceptual frame. Together the essays address the central issue of how the new knowledges of globalization are being articulated, and explore the cultural consequences and success of such communication and knowledge exchange.

Book Description
We are living in an open sea, caught up in a continuous wave, with no fixed point and no instrument to measure distance and the direction of travel. Nothing appears to be in its place any more, and a great deal appears to have no place at all. The principles that have given substance to the democratic ethos, the system of rules that has guided the relationships of authority and the ways in which they are legitimized, the shared values and their hierarchy, our behaviour and our life styles, must be radically revised because they no longer seem suited to our experience and understanding of a world in flux, a world that has become both increasingly interconnected and prone to severe and persistent crises. We are living in the interregnum between what is no longer and what is not yet. None of the political movements that helped undermine the old world are ready to inherit it, and there is no new ideology, no consistent vision, promising to give shape to new institutions for the new world. It is like the Babylon referred to by Borges, the country of randomness and uncertainty in which ‘no decision is final; all branch into others’. Out of the world that had promised us modernity, what Jean Paul Sartre had summarized with sublime formula ‘le choix que je suis’ (‘the choice that I am’), we inhabit that flattened, mobile and dematerialized space, where as never before the principle of the heterogenesis of purposes is sovereign. This is Babel.

Book Description
Much of modernist architecture was inspired by the emergence of internationalism: the ethics and politics of world peace, justice and unity through global collaboration. Mark Crinson here shows how the ideals represented by the Tower of Babel - built, so the story goes, by people united by one language - were effectively adapted by internationalist architecture, its styles and practices, in the modern period. Focusing particularly on the points of convergence between modernist and internationalist trends in the 1920s, and again in the immediate post-war years, he underlines how such architecture utilised the themes of a cooperative community of builders and a common language of forms.The 'International Style' was one manifestation of this new way of thinking, but Crinson shows how the aims of modernist architecture frequently engaged with the substance of an internationalist mindset in addition to sharing surface similarities. Bringing together the visionaries of internationalist projects - including Le Corbusier, Bruno Taut, Berthold Lubetkin, Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe - Crinson interweaves ideas of evolution, ecology, utopia, regionalism, socialism, free trade, and anti-colonialism to reveal the possibilities heralded by modernist architecture. Furthermore, he re-connects pivotal figures in architecture with a cast of polymath internationalists such as Patrick Geddes, Lewis Mumford, Julian Huxley, Rabindranath Tagore and H. G. Wells, to provide a richly detailed socio-cultural framework. This is a book crafted for students and scholars of architecture and art theory, as well as for those interested in the history of twentieth-century optimism about the world and its architecture.

Book Description
The reach of one's globalization is defined by the limits of the pronoun "we." This is a sort of a black box. This book opens the black box of globalization unveiling its roots and making a personal decision on participating in the process possible. After the purpose of globalization is understood, the world will not be the same anymore. The core of globalization is the satisfaction of the national interests of participants. Discovering globalization will give you a functional view of the world instead of a hierarchical, conflictive and dualistic perception. Good and bad value judgments will be replaced by functional evaluations. This book is a summary on the research carried out on the possibilities that a Sustainable Globalization has and the effects it bears on the development of peoples. It is the result of a future research study grounded on the unicist theory of evolution and the unicist methodology for scenario building. This book also provides "Scenarios of sustainable globalization 2025" with an amazing conceptual approach to the main drivers of sustainable globalization, including the concepts of: national interest, diplomacy, dissuasion, cooperation capability, competitive capability, technological supremacy, vital space assurance and time management. Unicist archetypes of countries are developed through the Australian, Brazilian, French, German and Swedish archetypes. This is an amazing work that opened new frontiers in the understanding of the concept of sustainable globalization.

Book Description
This book is the first to propose an integrated approach to the study of bilingual education in minority and majority settings. Contributions from well-known scholars working in eight different countries in Europe and the Americas show that it is possible to bridge the gap between prestigious elite bilingualism and the bilingualism of minority communities and work towards the construction of multilingual spaces.

Book Description
Observateurs vigilants du débat actuel autour de la mondialisation, les auteurs de cet ouvrage ont décidé d'aller sur le terrain, là où se prennent les décisions, là où on en subit les effets. Ils ont rencontré les hommes politiques, les responsables de grandes institutions financières, les patrons et les syndicalistes, les chômeurs et les laissés-pour-compte. De cette enquête exigeante, menée à l'échelle planétaire, les conclusions, accablantes, s'imposent : c'est une véritable guerre que les partisans du libéralisme ont déclarée à tous les travailleurs, cassant les systèmes de protection sociale et favorisant par là même la montée des extrémismes de tous bords. Les pièges de la mondialisation sont assurément ceux d'une logique de développement prédatrice tant des êtres humains que de la biosphère ; cependant, les auteurs concluent cet état des lieux en imaginant quelques mesures urgentes à mettre en œuvre pour tenter d'y échapper.
