Since the early 1990s 'globalization' has entered public and
academic debate within a wide range of disciplines. However, the
meaning and significance of globalization remains unclear. Is it an
outcome of complex socio-economic developments or an emergent
process in its own right? How should we evaluate the debate between
'optimists' vs. 'pessimists' and 'critics', and between sceptics
and radicals? How does globalization theory relate to earlier
theories of convergence and world systems? Much of this debate is
moving in circles and is proving difficult to resolve. particular.
First, unlike earlier theories of convergence, globalization points
towards increasing hybridity and differentiation, and therefore
depicts a complex and fluid social world. Second, globalization is
an outcome of structural and cultural processes that manifest in
different ways in economy, politics, culture and organizations.
Both of these themes have far-reaching consequences for everyday
life that are fully explored in this volume. this innovative new
book presents the information in a clear and concise manner
suitable for its undergraduate reader. It covers key questions,
relates theory to practical situations, and skilfully guides
students through the various aspects of the globalization debate.
