The Making of Belize

More about the book

Challenging the notion that globalization creates clear winners and losers, this book argues that the margins of the global system can foster significant cultural creativity. It explores how local relations and identities flourish within a transnational political economy, despite challenges from powerful global movements like environmentalism and the drug trade. The paradox of instant global communication is highlighted, revealing how it enhances local identities that are rich in multicultural influences.
