Synopsis
Globalization is already well beyond key boundaries threatening the extinction of most of humanity unless a praxis change is made. We must develop a new 'Globalization Praxis' that focuses on nine planetary boundaries to prevent further damage to the earth's ecosystem. As proposed by Johan Rockstr m and co., these are: climate change; biodiversity loss; biogeochemical -- phosphorous change; ocean acidification; land use crisis; fresh water crisis; ozone depletion; atmospheric aerosols and chemical pollution by plastics and heavy metals.This book combines new theories, methods, and practices into a globalization that can operate within these boundaries. Storytelling in the Global Age is useful for professionals and students in globalization courses.

Synopsis
Can the fall of globalization told through true storytelling save humanity from its own extinction? The Sixth Extinction has begun and there is no Planet B. To prevent further damage to the earth's ecosystem, this book proposes a new 'Globalization Praxis' that focuses on nine planetary boundaries. This praxis is called 'true storytelling'. True storytelling is an ethical praxis, a methodology, and antenarrative process of strategy.Storytelling in the Global Age provides a new approach while uncovering ten myths of globalization. Each myth explores three storytelling layers, which are: narrative-counternarrative, Indigenous Ways of Knowing (IWOK) living story, and antenarrative layers beneath. This book is useful for professionals and students within this field.
