Six Faces of Globalization: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why It Matters by Anthea Roberts and Nicolas Lamp
Professor Anthea Roberts has published a new book on the virtues and vices of economic globalisation with Associate Professor Nicolas Lamp of Queen’s University.

Six Faces of Globalization: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why It Matters (Harvard University Press, October 2021) is an essential guide to the intractable public debates about economic globalisation, cutting through the complexity to reveal the fault lines that divide us and the points of agreement that might bring us together. When it comes to the politics of free trade and open borders, the camps are dug in, producing a kaleidoscope of claims and counterclaims, unlikely alliances, and unexpected foes.

But what exactly are we fighting about? And how might we approach these issues more productively? Roberts and Lamp cut through the confusion, expertly guiding us through six competing narratives about the virtues and vices of globalisation. Instead of picking sides, they provide a more holistic framework for understanding current debates and, in so doing, showcase a more integrative way of thinking about complex problems.
