Dilemmas in World Politics: Exploring the Frontiers explores major issues in contemporary world politics, analyzing the disquiets and potential of globalization in a neoliberal world order. It deconstructs neoliberal democracy and studies the role of the civil society, NGOs and new media in world politics. It also encompasses issues, such as secularism, multiculturalism, minority rights and feminist politics. It further tracks international cooperation in the fight against climate change, environmental negotiations, coalitional diplomacy, green theory and sustainable development.
The book reassesses the emerging non-traditional security challenges and speculates on a post-COVID world order. It explores the veiled agenda of globalization and the neoliberal approach, examining the current crisis of governance and its impact on the so-called ‘¬¬Third World’. It critically scrutinizes the widespread discord, under-development, economic exploitation and cultural domination under the ambit of neoliberal globalization.
