Too often, however, discussions of globalization and foreign affairs simplistically (and erroneously) portray cross-border trade and migration as raising only threats. They ignore the more complicated reality of how globalization can also enhance national security, how trade agreements and immigration can advance geopolitical objectives, or where foreign allies and adversaries really stand today (and how they got there).
The essays in this Defending Globalization series will educate readers on the intersection of globalization and foreign affairs in brief, accessible language written by experts in the field. Readers will be left with a fuller understanding of what scholars know about globalization, security, and geopolitics in the United States and key foreign countries.
