## About this book

Stories of Globalization, Volume 1, examines the evolution of contemporary globalization through the lens of the agro-food sector. Authors Alessandro Bonanno and Douglas Constance analyze how time-space compression has shifted the dynamics of capitalism, creating a system distinct from the international relations of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This work of international economic integration focuses on the complex interactions between the state and transnational corporations.

The text utilizes eight detailed case studies to illustrate how globalization functions as a contested terrain. By exploring these specific stories of globalization, the authors investigate the tension between international business enterprises and the groups that resist them. This scholarly study of globalization provides an original review of existing literature to show how internal contradictions and mounting opposition shape the power of global corporations.
