Summary	"Contesting Globalization is an addition to the literature on globalization which examines the challenges faced by those wishing to develop a critical understanding of the nature of power and counter-power in the contemporary world economy. The author traces the history and development of the institutions of global governance (such as The World Bank, IMF, WTO) as well as the emergence of the anti-globalization movement. He argues that we are at a critical juncture in the history of global capitalism, where the world economy itself has become a defining terrain of struggle, as global cities were in the nineteenth century." "This volume will interest students and researchers of politics, sociology, geography and urban studies."--Jacket.
