In Depth back to UNI In Depth home page 07/31/2002 From Rio to Johannesburg: The Globalization Decade As part of our special coverage of the Johannesburg Earth Summit, CorpWatch is running excerpts from the new book, Earthsummit.biz: The Corporate Takeover of Sustainable Development written by CorpWatch staffers Kenny Bruno and Joshua Karliner and co-published by Food First Books and CorpWatch. The first excerpt, "The Globalization Decade," appears on CorpWatch.org. It looks at the rise of corporate globalization that has dominated the decade between the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and the upcoming summit in Johannesburg. And it examines the role of the United Nations, under whose auspices both the summits are held. The book will roll off the press in early August 2002, but won't be in bookstores until late fall. However, you can order it anytime from CorpWatch. http://www.corpwatch.org/misc/PFR.jsp?freestyleid=esbiztoc http://www.corpwatch.org/campaigns/PCD.jsp?articleid=3190 ______________________ Union Network International http://www.union-network.org - contact@union-network.org
