- Summary
- This book critically interrogates the assumption that the idea of globalisation is derivative solely of neoliberal ideology by profiling the discourse on globalisation of five political groups involved in making and contesting British foreign economic policy between 1997 and 2009: New Labour, International Financial Services London, the Liberal Democrats, Oxfam and the Socialist Workers' Party.
