Globalization and Social Change takes a refreshing new perspective
on globalization and widening social and spatial inequalities.
Diane Perrons draws on ideas about the new economy, risk society,
welfare regimes and political economy to explain the growing social
and spatial divisions characteristic of our increasingly divided
world. Combining original argument with a clear exposition of the
underlying processes, Perrons illustrates her points through a
series of case studies linking people in rich and poor countries.
She places strong emphasis on the socio-economic aspects of change,
particularly changes in working patterns and living arrangements,
and makes reference to the new global division of labour, declining
industrial regions and widening social divisions within what she
terms 'superstar regions'. Wide in scope, this new study also
focuses on changing family structures, the feminization of
employment, migration, work life balance and new conceptions of
gender identity and gender roles. Diane Perrons' enlightening book
concludes that divisions by social class and gender are in some
ways becoming more significant than divisions between nations, and
suggests that new systems of social and economic organization are
necessary for social peace in the new millennium.
