The Oxford Handbook of Global Studies de Mark Juergensmeyer

The Oxford Handbook of Global Studies: Oxford Handbooks

Editat de Mark Juergensmeyer, Manfred B. Steger, Saskia Sassen Cu Victor Faessel
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 dec 2018
The Oxford Handbook of Global Studies provides an overview of the emerging field of global studies. Since the end of the Cold War, globalization has been reshaping the modern world, and an array of new scholarship has risen to make sense of it in its various transnational manifestations-including economic, social, cultural, ideological, technological, environmental, and in new communications. The editors--Mark Juergensmeyer, Saskia Sassen, and Manfred Steger--are recognized authorities in this emerging field and have gathered an esteemed cast of contributors to discuss various aspects in the field through a broad range of approaches.Several essays focus on the emergence of the field and its historical antecedents. Other essays explore analytic and conceptual approaches to teaching and research in global studies, and the largest section will deal with the subject matter of global studies, challenges from diasporas and pandemics to the global city and the emergence of a transnational capitalist class. The final two sections feature essays that take a critical view of globalization from diverse perspectives and essays on global citizenship-the ideas and institutions that guide an emerging global civil society. This Handbook focuses on global studies more than on the phenomenon of globalization itself, though the various aspects of globalization are central to understanding how the field is currently being shaped.

sets itself apart from other global studies reference sources by focusing on the field of global studies instead of only topics falling under the global studies umbrella. It would be of great interest to those teaching or studying within global studies programs.
