Glocalization

More about the book

Exploring the interplay between globalization and local communities, this collection of essays provides original analyses of U.S. foreign policies' impact on the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The author, an educator from the University of Pittsburgh's Semester at Sea Program, examines historical frameworks of freedom and glocalization, using Cuba's unique situation as a case study. Enhanced by maps and photos, the work critiques the Washington Consensus and its influence on free enterprise and political freedom, revealing the complexities of American values abroad.
