The object of this book is the alternative proposal of social democracy for globalization against the dominant model today.

In this groundbreaking book, one of the leading analysts of globalization and global governance examines some of the most pressing global problems: how the global order is changing today, how globalization does or does not reshape people's lives, how global governance can help or hinder political and economic development, and how social democratic values remain essential in a stable and achievable agenda for global change.

The author confronts the failures of international politics in the aftermath of September 11 and the war against Iraq. He argues that there were and are alternative solutions to how Western coalitions responded to the intense challenges of mass terrorism and political violence, solutions that can better address the root causes and offer political and social justice. He focuses on feasible and effective policy choices that could lead to a progressive transformation of global issues.

The book is divided into three parts: economy, politics, and law. Each part analyzes contemporary trends, the problems faced, and develops a series of detailed policies.

The book is a significant contribution to current discussions on global order, as well as discussions on the Greek political landscape. It is an optimistic text that believes that continuous economic change, democracy, and justice are still achievable.
It will be a useful read for all those - students, political scientists, policy makers, and general readers - who have questions about globalization and global governance.
