Synopsis Globalization has become both a slogan and a useful historical and analytical concept. To some, it is an inescapable and primarily benign process of global economic integration, in which countries increasingly drop border restrictions on the flow of capital, goods and services. 'Globalization' is shorthand for a technologically mediated coup by economic elites and political conservatives to create a 'new world order' based more on private corporate control than public democracy. Global envision takes the global free market system as a starting point for reducing world poverty. Providing the poor with opportunities to improve their own lives is the catalyst for creating a more, fair, hopeful and stable future. We support economic development and responsible free markets as the most reliable and sustainable strategies for global poverty alleviation. Globalisation is leading to increased emphasis on internationalisation of the curriculum. It is also contributing to opportunities for new partnerships for the development across the global. Changing demographics, longer lives, longer workdays, larger urban areas, more diverse population and more frequent migration affect higher education. Globalisation has transformed economic, social and political processes between and within all countries, and presents new challenge and new opportunities for achieving sustainable development in the poorer economies of the world and globalisation has created millions of jobs all over the world. This book will come handy among the students of development studies, researchers and development practitioners in general and particular to understand the content of development in the context of globalisation in a right perspective.
