Despite the fact that the globalization process tends to reinforce
existing inequality structures and generate new areas of inequality
on multiple levels, systematic analyses on this very important
field remain scarce. Hence, this book approaches the complex
question of inequality not only from different regional
perspectives, covering Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin and Northern
America, but also from different disciplinary perspectives, namely
cultural anthropology, economics, ethnology, geography,
international relations, sociology, and political sciences. The
contributions are subdivided into three essential fields of
research: Part I analyzes the socio-economic dimension of global
exclusion, highlighting in particular the impacts of
internationalization and globalization processes on national social
structures against the background of theoretical concepts of social
inequality. Part II addresses the political dimension of global
inequalities. Since the decline of the Soviet Union new regional
powers like Brazil, China, India and South Africa have emerged,
creating power shifts in international relations that are the
primary focus of the second part. Lastly, Part III examines the
structural and transnational dimension of inequality patterns,
which can be concretized in the rise of globalized national elites
and the emergence of multinational networks that transcend the
geographical and imaginative borders of nation states.
