Nicolas Lamp and Anthea Roberts

Harvard UP, 2021
What's inside?
Addressing the downsides of globalization is complex – much like a puzzle.
Recommendation
In this study of globalization post-Trump, Brexit and COVID-19, academics Anthea Roberts and Nicolas Lamp assess the state of the debate. They add life to what could be a ponderous topic by identifying the main schools of thought about globalization and likening each to one side of a Rubik’s Cube. It’s a metaphor that frames a complicated issue and underscores the human tendency to oversimplify complex problems. The authors’ solutions are equally metaphorical, but theirs is still a worthwhile take on a critical subject.
