Abstract
At the change of the millennium, in a special issue of Third World Quarterly Clive Kessler named globalization a “scholarly monster.” With respect to the analysis of global affairs, Kessler considered the academic debate about globalization to be a part of the problem rather than offering a solution. According to him, countless academics across the world “have produced literally hundreds of books and thousands of articles probing the question of globalization” (Kessler 2000, 932).
