Description: "...study limits its focus to three major questions. First, what have the different national industries contributed to the globalization process, and how has this affected the rankings of national economies as both active and passive participants in it? Second, considering the trillions of dollars spent on foreign direct investments alone as a main driver of the economic integration of the world, how significant have their contributions been to the production of the world's output of products and services, commonly measure in terms of gross domestic product? Finally, the third question addresses the political implication for globalization's future stemming from America's recently developed neo-conservative doctrine of the new world order or the New American Century. Is the open declaration of U.S. superior economic and military strength indisputable legitimation for America's political supremacy over all nations of the world?"--Publ. web site.
