The state of the globalization literature
Peter Dougherty, the senior economics editor for Princeton University Press, tries to summarize and categorize the globalization literature in an interesting Chronicle of Higher Education essay (subscription may be required).* As this is a topic with which your trusty blogger has more than a passing interest, I checked it out. Some of the good parts:
From a purely self-interested perspective, this is the part I found most gratifying:
*[Possible conflict of interest alert: I have an advance contract for my globalization book with Princeton University Press. However, I've never met or interacted with Dougherty.] Comments: a publisher promoting the salience of books? (Translation: Books are important; buy more books) That's novel. Dan, the publishers have been saying this for the past fifty years. I'd bet a lot that the real driving contributions have not be made in books, but in patents and other arcane publications. Should we write books to contextualize XML for the broader public? Good luck with your volume, but I'm guessing you write the blog and the book for different reasons. posted by: Mike W on 07.13.04 at 06:22 PM [permalink]“[Possible conflict of interest alert: I have an advance contract for my globalization book with Princeton University Press.

Bush is the Anti-Christ and Responsible for World Poverty: the Secret Neo-Con Memos Proving the Evil of His Administration” Hey, it worked for Richard Clarke and Michael Moore. Why not Professor Drezner? posted by: David Thomson on 07.13.04 at 06:22 PM [permalink]Sorry, David. I've already copyrighted that title. posted by: praktike on 07.13.04 at 06:22 PM [permalink]Post a Comment: |
