Collins aims to show, through his case study of Motorola’s Iridium satellite venture, the outlines and details of how the period (1980s and 1990s) of globalization was created and initiated. By providing critical insight into globalization as a phenomenon, he hopes to stimulate the work of other scholars. His book relies heavily on oral history interviews with Motorola and Iridium personnel and others. From the . standpoint, the Iridium case shows the breadth of government interaction with Motorola and Iridium, both to facilitate neoliberal policy and, occasionally to define it, especially in area of national security.
