Jesse Goldhammer is Senior Practitioner at Monitor 360 a San Francisco based group that helps organizations make sense of complex geo-strategic issues. Steven Weber is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Institute of International Studies at UC Berkeley, USA. He is also an associate with the International Computer Science Institute and affiliated faculty of the Energy and Resources Group. Nils Gilman is Senior Practitioner at Monitor 360, a San Francisco based group that helps organizations make sense of complex geo-strategic issues.

In the shadows of the move to a globalized economy, in places its uncritical partisans would rather not look, an equally new and equally globalized set of phenomena has arisen. In this pathbreaking book, Nils Gilman, Jesse Goldhammer, and Steven Weber have gone far beyond registering the existence of 'deviant globalization.' They have theorized it, and shown that what crops up at the intersection of ethical disparity and regulatory inefficiency is now a permanent feature of global affairs. Observers of the world will benefit from this insight, while teachers and students will gratefully thank the editors for compiling the evidence in one place. - Samuel Moyn, Columbia University, author of The Last Utopia: Human Rights in History
