Geographies of Globalization – A Critical Introduction de A Herod

Geographies of Globalization – A Critical Introduction: Critical Introductions to Geography

Autor A Herod
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 dec 2008
Challenging such neoliberal assumptions as the 'death of distance' and suggestions that geography no longer matters within a shrinking globe, Geographies of Globalization is a critical introduction to the concepts and realities surrounding what has become the leitmotif of our contemporary world.

The book shows that whatever else they may be, the contemporary processes that are impacting on the world economy and which are variously represented as 'globalization' and/or 'internationalization' are fundamentally geographical processes, for they are tying the planet together in new and different ways.

Exploring a wide range of issues, from the integration of the world economy to how contemporary processes are shaping and shaped by nation-states and how workers are organizing transnationally in response to on-going transformations in the planet's economic geography, Geographies of Globalization illuminates the many, often contradictory, facets of globalization.
