GREEN ALTERNATIVES TO GLOBALISATION: A MANIFESTO
Michael Woodin and Caroline Lucas

Retail price: £11.99
Offer price: £8.40

Two of the most prominent members of the UK Green Party provide an accessible and concise statement of the Green alternative to globalisation. Michael Woodin and Caroline Lucas argue that globalisation marginalises poor people, threatens livelihoods, and is destroying the environment. They show how Global Localism i.e. thinking globally, acting locally could be adopted and applied to help solve many of the current international crises, including climate change, trade and development, agriculture, the future of the EU, and international security.

"Essential reading for anyone wanting to move beyond critiques of economic globalisation to coherent and credible alternatives." Dame Anita Roddick DBE
"Woodin and Lucas set out an eloquent and passionate argument which not only challenges the convenient assumption that economic globalisation is inevitable, but which also explodes the myth that globalisation benefits the poor." Vandana Shiva
