Additional information
by Jeffrey T. Jackson (Author)
In The Globalizers, author Jeffrey T. Jackson studies globalization and development aid in Honduras. While many scholars focus on the transnational corporation, Jackson believes that the international development profession may be even more important for globalization because it is often the development professionals who lay the groundwork for transnationals to establish themselves in developing nations. By drawing upon specific examples of development aid in Honduras, by such organizations as the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, Jackson avoids the general, abstract discussion often associated with globalization studies.
