Publisher's Synopsis
Edited by Francis Offor University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria & Ronald Olufemi Badru Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria To globalise or not to globalise; that is not even the question. This book's authors have raised even deeper questions: what is the epistemology and ontology of what is to be globalised? At a time like this, when theories and empirics of international relations deserve deeper philosophical engagement, one is enthused by the efforts of the editors and contributors of this book toward critically examining the interwoven issues of globalization, social justice and transnational democracy. As can be gleaned from the various chapters that are grouped into sections, this rare book presents to scholars and practitioners of international affairs conceptual cum empirical analytics of critical dimensions. In this introduction, it summarises the core arguments of each author and linked their thematic concerns together. Taken together, the multiple perspectives expressed in these succinct pieces have given us a book with a multidisciplinary flavour.
