Global nexus : political economies, interconnectivity, and the social sciences

"The book Global Nexus: Political Economies, Interconnectivity, and the Social Sciences brings out the contradictions and conflicts within the globalisation exercise; that while it provides opportunities for the poor and unemployed to improve their livelihoods, it encapsulates them in the phenomena of 'agencing', which become entrapments in long-term dependency and indebtedness. Global wealth-generating institutions and global poverty-generating institutions exist together in complex sets of relationships, strategies, and alliances. The Trump factor in globalisation is inherently contradictory since it assumes an isolationist role for the United States vis-?-vis deployment of industrial investments in the developing world or the Trans-Pacific Partnership while simultaneously reinforcing armament contracts, political alliances, and extra-territorial militarisms which reinforce conflicts in Asia and the Middle East. Global Nexus: Political Economies, Interconnectivity, and the Social Sciences suggests that inter-disciplinary social sciences in an age of globalisation are best understood through a nexus of transactional activities which generate their own political economies, thereby framing social realities in their own parameters of thought and action, providing a better understanding of the subject-matter, and its changing sphere of influence."
