About The Book:
Multipolar Globalization: Emerging Economies and Development by Jan Nederveen Pieterse, published by Routledge, provides a comprehensive guide to the transformations occurring in the world economy and global order. Released on 21st June 2017, this first edition paperback offers 264 pages of insightful analysis that addresses the shifting global dynamics driven by the rise of emerging economies, particularly in Asia and the global South.

This interdisciplinary volume brings together development studies, global political economy, sociology, and cultural studies to explore the implications of these changes on global inequality and the reshaping of globalization. The book delves into the decline of American hegemony, the emergence of new economic and political combinations, and the rise of new financial actors, offering readers a fresh perspective on the future of global capitalism.

Incorporating a wide range of topics, including the 2008 financial crisis, trends in inequality, the changing fortunes of the BRICS, and the evolving role of governance and democracy, Pieterse provides a nuanced and engaging examination of the new geography of trade and its impact on the global stage. This book is a crucial resource for students of social sciences, scholars, and professionals seeking to understand the contemporary challenges and future trajectories of globalization.
