Rosenberg argues that fashionable preoccupations with spatiality have generated deep intellectual confusions among globalization theorists: the more clearly they attempt to articulate their arguments the more equivocal and evasive those arguments become. After first looking at the broad field of international relations, Rosenberg submits Anthony Giddens's influential The Consequences of Modernity to a thorough, often highly entertaining interrogation, and concludes by drawing out the implications of his critique for globalization theory in general.
