Reviews"Whether you are interested in the role of government and markets, or the role of technology in society, or in specific policy areas, Half-Life makes for stimulating reading. Foldvary and Klein should be commended for bringing together many disparate policy areas under one roof, and assessing the role of technology in promoting choice, freedom, and prosperity." - Knowledge, Technology, & Policy, "The thoughtful collection of papers shows that developments and technology will in the future preferentially favor individuals over governments as long as we get the policy framework right." - Terence Kealey, author of The Economic Laws of Scientific Research, " The Half-Life of Policy Rationales is one clever book. Nothing in recent years on economics of new technology comes close." - The Independent Review, "Points out a serious gap in the current theory of economic policy: it treats the current state of technology as fixed. New technologies can in fact solve many problems that otherwise appear to be market failures. This volume is one of the freshest and most vital contributions to the public policy debate in years." - Tyler Cowen, George Mason University and author of Creative Destruction: How Globalization Is Changing the World's Cultures

SynopsisThe essays in this volume bring together scholars of postcolonial and lesbian and gay studies in order to examine, from multiple perspectives, the narratives that have sought to define globalization. These scholars have tried not only to assess the validity of the claims made for globalization they have also attempted to identify the tactics and rhetoric strategies through which these claims - and through which global circulation - are constructed and operate., Scholars of postcolonial and LGBT studies examine the validity of the globalization of queer cultures Globalization has a taste for queer cultures. Whether in advertising, film, performance art, the internet, or in the political discourses of human rights in emerging democracies, queerness sells and the transnational circulation of peoples, identities and social movements that we call "globalization" can be liberating to the extent that it incorporates queer lives and cultures. From this perspective, globalization is seen as allowing the emergence of queer identities and cultures on a global scale.
