In this fully revised fourth edition, this book treats
globalization from several vantage points, showing how these help
grasp the nature of globalization both in the past and today. The
revisions include greater attention to the complications of racism
(after 1500) and nationalism (after 1850); further analysis of
reactions against globalization after World War I and in the 21st
century; more discussion of student exchanges; and fuller treatment
of developments since 2008, including the role of the Covid-19
pandemic in contemporary globalization. Four major chronological
phases are explored: in the centuries after 1000 CE; after 1500;
after 1850; and since the mid-20th century. Discussion of each
phase includes relevant debates over the nature and extent of the
innovations involved, particularly in terms of
transportation/communications technologies and trade patterns. The
phase approach also facilitates analysis of the range of
interactions emmeshed in globalization, beyond trade and migration,
including disease exchange, impacts on culture and consumer tastes,
and for the modern periods policy coordination and international
organizations. Finally, the book deals with different regional
positions and reactions in each of the major phases. This includes
imbalances of power and economic benefit, but also regional styles
in dealing with the range of global relationships. This volume is
essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of
world history, economic history, and political economy.
