Frontiers of Globalization Research: Theoretical and Methodological Approaches, (Hardcover)

To bring this topical volume together, the editor asked leading scholars in the field of globalization to outline a "research framework" that reflects their own approach to the subject. The resulting book presents a broad spectrum of analytical approaches to globalization. Theoretical reviews are complemented by substantive chapters and methodological analyses that are unusual in an edited volume. Contributors include distinguished scholars of globalization with international reputations in the fields of sociology, anthropology, history and political science. These writings have been organized into four sections: theoretical perspectives and cultural globalization, economic globalization, political globalization, and methodological approaches. The extensive coverage and the interdisciplinary flavor of the volume make it suitable for a large interdisciplinary audience.
