Global processes have an increasing influence on local contexts and
the nature and distribution of opportunities among populations
across the globe. While capital and population mobility, advances
in information and communications technology, and economic
liberalization have fostered economic development,
industrialization, and wealth for some, they have also engendered
growing inequalities in income, prosperity, well-being, and access.
Those left behind by these global transformations often experience
not only material deprivation, but broader dislocation from the
contexts, institutions, and capabilities that provide access to
social and economic opportunity. The concept of "social exclusion"
has been widely adopted to describe the conditions of economic,
social, political, and/or cultural marginalization experienced by
particular groups of people due to extreme poverty, discrimination,
dislocation, and disenfranchisement. This book explores the
dynamics of social exclusion within the context of globalization
across four countries-China, India, South Korea, and the United
States. In particular, it examines how social exclusion is defined,
manifested, and responded to with regard to diverse social arenas
and processes, varying mechanisms and scales, and a range of
impacted populations. Based on collaborative research activities
and in-depth deliberation among leading scholars from major
academic institutions in each of the four aforementioned countries,
the volume provides a rich account of the interplay between
globalization and social exclusion, while highlighting the ways in
which responses may be more or less effective in different
contexts. Its insights will be of particular interest to academics,
researchers, and students across diverse social science
disciplines.
