Summary
"In this critical analysis, Philip F. Kelly challenges the conventional definition of globalization as an irresistible and inevitable force to which societies must succumb. By tracing the consequences of global economic integration in the Philippines, he argues that 'global' processes are constituted, accommodated, mediated and resisted in social processes at multiple scales, from the national economy to the village and the household."--Jacket
