Winning the Talent War in Emerging Markets: Women are the Answer
By Sylvia Ann Hewlett and Ripa Rashid
As global companies try to harness the growth and possibilities of emerging markets, the extraordinary energy, ambition and drive of BRIC women can provide a critical competitive edge.
Neoliberal Globalization, Masculinity and Gender Justice
A relatively new field of social research has documented the diversity of masculinities in the world. Globalization is not a separate issue from this; it grows out of a history of imperialism in which gender hierarchies were embedded. Organizational life embeds gender relations in ways that make equality difficult to achieve. Struggles for gender justice arise from many different starting-points and the role of men and boys in changing existing patterns is now acknowledged.
Shaping Global Political Realities: The Workings of Transnational Elite Networks
By Ian N. Richardson, Andrew P. Kakabadse & Nada K. Kakabadse
Over the past two decades, there has been a dramatic change in the way international politics is conducted. Gone are the structural certainties of the Cold War and, in their place, are more fluid, and somewhat more unpredictable, patterns of international cooperation. Determined, in large part, by the demands and effects of rampant globalization towards the end of the twentieth century, these more dynamic patterns of cooperation are anchored in a significantly more ambiguous, and malleable, conception of legitimacy than was previously the case. Evidence of this is to be found in practically all global policy domains where talk of the need to establish an “international consensus” is to be found.

Solving the Asset–Shortage Problem of Emerging Markets
By Patrick Imam

This is because an economy’s ability to produce output is only imperfectly linked to its ability to generate financial assets.
Food Prices: Should Emerging Market Economies Be Concerned?
High food prices are here to stay. This should be a reason of great concern not only in less developed countries but also in the most dynamic emerging market economies.
The Third Industrial Revolution: How the Internet, Green Electricity, and 3-D Printing are Ushering in a Sustainable Era of Distributed Capitalism
By Jeremy Rifkin
Our industrial civilization is at a crossroads. Oil and the other fossil fuel energies that make up the industrial way of life are sunsetting, and the technologies made from and propelled by these energies are antiquated. The entire industrial infrastructure built off of fossil fuels is aging and in disrepair. The result is that unemployment is rising to dangerous levels all over the world. Governments, businesses and consumers are awash in debt and living standards are declining everywhere. A record one billion human beings — nearly one seventh of the human race—face hunger and starvation. Worse, climate change from fossil fuel-based industrial activity looms on the horizon, imperiling our own species’ very ability to survive.
