This volume offers a representation of the diversity of different theoretical and methodological approaches to globalization. It discusses the major facets of globalization: cultural, economic, and political globalization, including an analysis of underdevelopment, anti-globalization movements, global poverty, global inequality and the current debate about international trade versus protectionism. By offering perspectives from the Global North and the Global South, as well as the inclusion of contributions in economic sociology, international relations, political science and public policy, this volume presents a contemporary and interdisciplinary analysis of globalization and related issues such as Brexit and the election of Donald Trump. This volume is of great interest to academics, students, as well as policy makers in the field of globalization studies.weiterlesen
