PUBLICATIONS
The Globalization Research Center, through active publication initiatives,
assists scholars in
identifying and analyzing institutional arrangements and social changes
that undergird the phenomenon of globalization. For the journal Globalization,
please visit our journal page.
Through
the publication of newsletters, books, monographs, reports and through
contributions to the GRN journal Globalizations, we hope
to foster discussion and research on the dynamics and contested narratives
of globalization. This website plays a key role in these discussions.
It serves both as a bulletin board and communication resource.

Nancie
Caraway, "To Prevent, Suppress and Punish: Ideology and
the Politics of Human Trafficking"
This
volume will be published in 2005 and germinated from GRC's 2002
conference, "The Human Rights Challenge of Globalization
in US-Asia-Pacific: Trafficking in Persons." Edited by
and with an introduction by Nancie Caraway, fifteen essays critically
examine the implications of the law and national security anti-trafficking
framework and assesses the efficacy of current intellectual
and grass-roots, victim-centered initiatives amidst the devolution
of the anti-trafficking sector. With an Asian focus, the volume
considers reconceptualizations of the practice of human trafficking
in the context of global migration and capitol flows, alert
to the anti-democratic underside of concepts of"global
citizenship" and protectionist strategies toward victims
of all forms of exploited labor. The book asks whether advances
and reforms in human rights are possible admist the current
animosities and politics of the sector. Contributors include:
Saskia Sassen, Kevin Bales, Noeleen Heyzer, Anne Gallagher,
Matthew Friedman, Siriporn Skrobanek, Vitit Muntarbhorn, Francoise
Verges. |

GRC
Hawaii has conducted three conferences featuring small groups
of scholars organized to produce a related published volume
on a specific globalization subject. These "writers"
or "dialogic" conferences are designed to fully
engage the organizing editor (s) and the contributors in a
full dialogue on the specified subject that leads to the subsequent
publication.

MEDIA
Our
efforts have also included monthly cable TV program, Living
in a Global World, which features interviews with leading globalization
critics, thinkers, and promoters, and includes news coverage of globalization
events. The program will shortly be available on DVD.
Living
in a Global World is a pre-recorded and edited television series,
one hour long, produced by the Globalization Research Center. Living
in a Global World tries to capture some of the ongoing debates about
globalization. It is built around interviews with the most interesting
globalization commentators, scholars, critics, apologists - whoever
we believe can contribute to the debate on the processes of globalization.
