Foreword: In the penumbra of globalization

This is a book we need. Together, the authors cover a range of global dynamics either not usually included in books on globalization or studied in isolation. What makes this book unique is that it gives us an across-theboard engagement with a range of illicit, illegal, uncivil global processes and actors. The authors do so from many different disciplines and backgrounds. In the editors’ hands – that is in the introduction and conclusion – it becomes a thick tapestry of what takes place in the penumbra of corporate economic globalization. The more we have focused, analysed, dissected the high-visibility components of globalization, especially corporate, the more impenetrable the realities that operate on the dark side.
