'Globalization' has become one of the defining buzzwords of our
time - a term that describes a variety of accelerating economic,
political, cultural, ideological, and environmental processes that
are rapidly altering our experience of the world. It is by its
nature a dynamic topic. This Very Short Introduction has been fully
updated for a fourth edition, to include recent developments in
global politics, the global economy, and environmental issues.
Presenting globalization as a multifaceted process encompassing
global, regional, and local aspects of social life, Manfred B.
Steger looks at its causes and effects, examines whether it is a
new phenomenon, and explores the question of whether, ultimately,
globalization is a good or a bad thing. In this fourth edition
Steger discusses some of the key features of recent years, such as
the EU fiscal crisis, the rise of robot technology and new war
technology with civilian usage such as drones, the Ebola epidemic
in West Africa, and new identity discussions around gender fluidity
and sex change in the media. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds
of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books
are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our
expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and
enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
readable.
