Descriere
The
Global
Studies
Reader,
Second
Edition,
offers
an
accessible
introduction
to
globalization
that
will
provide
students
with
a
better
understanding
of
what
constitutes
Global
Studies-the
transdisciplinary
field
dedicated
to
the
study
of
globalization.
Thus,
the
book
has
been
carefully
designed
to
provide
a
representative
selection
of
transdisciplinary
writings
appropriate
for
undergraduate
students
in
Global
Studies.
This
book
brings
together
in
a
singlevolume
some
of
the
best
pieces
on
the
subject
written
by
recognized
scholars.
These
twenty
seminal
contributions
have
been
kept
to
an
easily
digestible
length
while
at
the
same
time
covering
the
major
dimensions
of
globalization:
politics
and
societies;
economies
and
technologies;
cultures
and
histories;
andspaces
and
environments.
Although
The
Global
Studies
Reader
purposely
contains
no
additional
sectional
introductions
that
might
interrupt
the
conceptual
flow
of
the
writings,
it
offers
at
the
end
of
each
of
its
four
parts
five
discussion
points
designed
to
help
clarify
the
authors'
arguments
and
to
stimulate
further
conversation.
You
will
also
find
suggestions
for
additional
readings
and
recommended
websites
to
guide
students'
further
research.
Recenzii
The
Global
Studies
Reader,
Second
Edition,
is
a
highly
convenient
one-stop
shop
for
many
of
the
seminal
articles
in
the
field.
The
book's
competitive
advantages
include
its
reasonable
price,
convenient
size,
and
the
fact
that
it's
been
compiled
by
such
a
world-renowned
expert
on
the
processes
and
ideologies
of
globalization.
I would certainly use The Global Studies Reader. The level of scholarship is second to none. This book provides the in-depth analysis that is essential to exposing undergraduates to contending issues and events in international studies.
