Published in 1999 by Karthala, *Mondialisation* offers a French‑language exploration of the forces shaping the modern global economy. Drawing on the work of the collective known as Gemdev, the volume examines how language, culture, and institutions intersect with international trade, finance, and policy. Readers are guided through the historical evolution of globalization, the mechanisms of economic integration, and the social implications of a world increasingly linked by markets and communication networks. With a blend of analytical insight and accessible prose, the book serves as a concise reference for students, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics that drive worldwide economic relations.
