Exploring the myriad faces of globalization, with particular emphasis to its effect on India, this book addresses its issues, impacts, and complexities, as well as its relationship with state and political power. The study investigates globalization's balance between economic growth and the suppression of human rights and examines its effect on the nation-state and the issues of sovereignty to the ideology and political-economy interface, transformations within society, and resultant economic and political processes. The evolving idea of a new world order is also discussed, along with issues of global conflict and cooperation, the effects on human rights theory and practice, and the impact of international global covenants on human rights implementation in India. Meticulous in its study, this is a comprehensive survey of democracy, development, public administration, and civil society.
