Globalization
In the first edition, the themes of hope, optimism, and progress of neoliberalism were examined in Asia and America. The second edition, Globalization: Power, Authority, and Legitimacy in Late Modernity, analyses the new pessimism that has descended on the globalized world.

Modernity's concern within metropolitan regimes includes the revival of community power through 'growth machines' and 'urban regime' theory.

Singapore's urban growth engines falls within a variety of state-sanction and quasi-private m…
Surviving the Politics of Late Modernity
The Politics of Ageing
Imprisoning the other
Speaking on the matter of a New World Order in 1993, Johan Galtung suggested that, "Confederations are better for polytheists and plural‐ists ... polytheism offers more variety: if one god fails, there is always another to turn to." Those who determine the nature of the gods are often those in the majority or those in power, those seen as the guardians of tradition, the prophets of incrementalism, and the "wisdom of the ages." A century earlier, …
