Talk about globalization is all around us. It is far rarer that
suitable definitions of what globalization is, and accounts of the
many ways in which global connections and interdependencies affect
and shape us, are provided. This is precisely what this Research
Handbook offers: sociological conceptualizations of what
globalization entails; interdisciplinary approaches to its many
dimensions; critical analyses of today’s complex interplays of
the global, the local and the political; up-to-date empirical
accounts of the effects of globalization on life courses in
contemporary societies and cutting-edge discussions of the
historical, methodological and ethical questions our global
interconnections present for the social sciences. This Research
Handbook takes stock of the state of the art in sociological
research on globalization and the contributors outline future
trajectories for this, one of the most pressing and challenging
sociological themes of our time.
The relationship between unstable work careers and family
transitions into adult life can vary according to the personal
circumstances of individuals, as well as the welfare state system
of the country. Drawing from interviews and survey data across the
EU and the UK, this in-depth study explores how worker instability
is perceived and experienced, and how this ‘perception’ in turn
affects individuals’ economic and social situation. Using
intersectional analysis and a unique focus on different life
stages, the authors identify groups who are more prone to labour
market risks and describe their relative disadvantage. This
powerful study will inform policy measures internationally in
several social domains related to work, employment and society.
