Recenzii
Leo McCann has managed to produce an accessible, entertaining, informative text on globalization that is infused with both scholarly heft and a healthy analytical distance, successfully navigating the treacherous divide between laudatory apologia and criticism for its own sake. This is a valuable resource for teachers, academics, and interested publics of all stripes.
McCann notes that much “of the literature on globalization describes it as powerful, new, inexorable, and a force for good. Closer integration of the world is inevitable and unstoppable. It is pointless to oppose and self-defeating to try.” He sets out to challenge these conclusions and the underlying assumptions in six scholarly, entertaining and insightful chapters.
This may be a small book, but it punches well above its weight.
This book makes a beneficial introduction to a field of literature…after deconstructing the myth and hype of globalization McCann proceeds with critically examining the fields in which the concept has been most commonly drawn upon. Culture, economics and politics receive attention, focusing both on the most positive and most negative interpretations of globalization processes in these fields.
For the Organization Studies reader, the most interesting chapter [is] the chapter on global organizations. It is here that McCann’s vast knowledge on the topic of globalization is most strongly manifested.
Highly recommended as a compact, wide-ranging, fast-paced and highly accessible guide to 30 years of globalisation debates.
I picked up this book and haven't been able to stop reading it - an amazing companion book.
I can highly recommend this accessible and informed book written by the inimitable Professor Leo McCann
The reader acquires a wealth of knowledge from this book that I doubt could have been passed on in so condensed format by anyone else…It will help not only students of history, politics and the general social sciences but also audiences generally interested in this topic to understand the world better.
Topical and fascinating…This book is eminently compelling and should be intelligible to a wide audience. It is written in a concise but evocative and cogent language, with apt references to modern culture, politics and daily life. Personally, I was highly impressed (and amused).
