"Critics of globalization contend that even if increased trade promotes material prosperity, it comes with a high spiritual and cultural cost. Yet another view is that when two cultures trade with each other, they tend to expand the opportunities available to individual artists.

Aim of this book is to provide material to our readers on different aspects of the problem of globalization and culture. Important, interesting and up to date, essays have been selected to make available, different points of views on the subjects to enable the readers to formulate their own views on the topic." (jacket)
