- Synopsis
- Mittelman (international affairs, American U. ) investigates how globalization is connected to security or insecurity, and the implications of that connection for world order. Introducing the novel concept of hyperconflict, he argues that a novel pattern is forming as insecurity is being globalized, political violence reorganized, pervasive uncertainty marked by a rising climate of fear, and structures of armed and other conflict moving beyond the hands of governments and their agents. After reviewing coercive globalization, he looks in turn at conflicts involving the Multilateral Agreement on Investment, Asia, Seattle, and 9/11. Then he considers post-national security.
