652: Critical Book Review (Beyond Sovereignty) Name: Subject: Date of Submission Introduction Different scholars hold different opinions on the benefits and shortcomings of globalization. This fact can be supported by reviewing a publication, by Cusimano (2011), titled “Beyond Sovereignty issues for a global agenda.” Crucial to the discussion is the fact that the author defines globalization as the interdependent and fast spread of open economy, open society, and open technological infrastructures. Further, the author defines a sovereign country as a globally distinguished entity of political authority around specified borders. The book discusses global issues such as poverty, terrorism, and technology. Additionally, the author discusses how topics such as intergovernmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, multinational corporations, terrorism, international crime, and religion relate to globalization and sovereignty. It is notable that the book discusses globalization, but unlike most publications, the author relates theoretical and practical aspects of globalization effectively.[Maryann, Cusimano L.
