Globalization is exposing social fissures between those with the education, skills, and mobility to flourish in an unfettered world market—the apparent "winners"—and those without. These apparent "losers" are increasingly anxious about their standards of living and their precarious place in an integrated world economy. The result is severe tension between the market and broad sectors of society, with governments caught in the middle. Compounding News Release the very real problems that need to be addressed by all involved, the kneejerk rhetoric of both sides threatens to crowd out rational debate. From the United States to Europe to Asia, positions are "... a fascinating piece hardening. Author Dani Rodrik brings a clear and reasoned voice of work, and much the best thing I've seen so to these questions.Has Globalization Gone Too Far? takes an far on the subject ... unblinking and objective look at the benefits—and risks—of the bottom line is: the international economic integration, and criticizes mainstream IIE strikes again, with economists for downplaying its dangers. It also makes a unique the right study at the and persuasive case that the "winners" have as much at stake from right time. [The Institute's] record on the possible consequences of social instability as the "losers." As topicality and quality Rodrik points out, ". . . social disintegration is not a spectator sport truly is amazing." —those on the sidelines also get splashed with mud from the field. Ultimately, the deepening of social fissures can harm all." President Clive Crook Clinton read the book and it provided the conceptual basis for the The Economist trade/IMF portions of his State of the Union message in January 1998. "This provocative and interesting study promises to make a significant contribution to the on-going debate ... one must commend him for presenting a fresh, creative, and clearlyargued approach to the relevant issues ... essential reading."

Globalization is "the next great foreign policy debate," Thomas Friedman of the New York Times wrote, and he found Has Globalization Gone Too Far? "provocative" on the subject. This book provides a critical definition—and welcome clarity—to that debate.
