Reviews the book "Globalization and the Politics of Development in the Middle East," by Clement M. Henry and Robert Springborg.

In the third millennium, the rebalancing between the West and the East has been evolving steadily. Not only demographically but also in terms of gross national product, foreign trade and weapons accumulation, Asia's stride has been phenomenal. Underlying these changes are technological advances in the communications and manufacturing industries. This review article summarizes and reflects on some of the latest books in Asian political economy and argues for the need to probe more microscopically into the Asian domestic political economy from a comparative perspective.

Reviews the book 'Globalization and Neoliberalism: The Caribbean Context,' edited by T. Klak.

Chris Rowley and John Benson, editors of the book 'Globalization and Labour in the Asia Pacific Region,' and the 23 contributors to this collection cover recent developments in labor relations in Japan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, and Vietnam. The editors also include three chapters on Australia--but, curiously, not one on New Zealand! The introduction starts with a comprehensive overview of the current debate on globalization and labor, but Rowley and Benson's 'attempt to define globalization' ends with 'We have introduced and outlined the problematic nature of globalization' rather than with a clear definition. This chapter sets the scene for the subsequent chapters on labor relations and globalization without developing a comprehensive framework for a study of globalization in these countries.
