Debating Globalization is a short, accessible introduction to the debate about globalization written by many of the most prominent figures in the field. Published by Polity in association with openDemocracy, the book is notable not just for focusing on the pressing difficulties facing our world, but also on solutions. Rich and positive suggestions are made for reshaping globalization into a force that will work for humans everywhere. In an extended analysis, David Held provides a robust critique of the present order and sets out his alternative vision. Building on arguments he made in Global Covenant, he calls for a new global political agenda, informed by social democratic political values. His analysis has been criticized by leading figures and their responses follow in this book. There are chapters by, among others, Martin Wolf, Roger Scruton, Grahame Thompson, David Mepham, Meghnad Desai, Maria Livanos Cattaui, Patrick Bond, Benjamin Barber, John Elkington, Takashi Inoguchi, Narcís Serra, and Anne-Marie Slaughter and Thomas N. Hale. The volume ends with David Held's reply to his critics. The book provides a fascinating introduction to the debate about globalization today.

The narrative highlights the remarkable military career of Lt Col Edward D (Moke) Murray, a distinguished officer in the Indian Army and Gurkha commander. He played pivotal roles during critical moments, including dispersing a strike in 1939, leading forces against the Japanese in Assam and Burma, and suppressing the Viet Minh in Saigon in 1945. His leadership was recognized during Queen Elizabeth II's coronation parade in 1953. Despite his significant contributions, his passing went largely unnoticed, marked only by a brief mention in the Gurkha gazette.
