DOES GLOBALIZATION alleviate world poverty or contribute to it? Does it harm local culture or bring people together? Has free trade hurt the poor more than helped? What are globalization's effects on the environment and human rights?
This book is a forum where dynamic youth from around the world debate these issues. Contained in this volume are provocative articles from both sides of this controversial debate.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
- To generate a debate on globalization;
- To ensure that youth have a forum to participate in this debate;
