Rezensionen
"This book does an excellent job of defining key concepts and terms in a clear, accessible and engaging way, without 'dumbing down'. The case studies are interesting, drawing on a variety of different cultures, countries and regions, to illustrate the concepts at hand. - Caroline A. Hartzell, Professor of Political Science, Gettysburg College, USA This is a great introduction to the study of globalization! To organize the text along key concepts is a brilliant idea as it helps students to understand the complex integration of various dimensions of globalization and pushes them to ask new and pertinent questions. - Sylva Frisk, University of Gothenburg, School of Global Studies, Sweden Globalization: The Key Concepts cuts through the vast scholarship on globalization with powerful, simple ideas. Packed with thought-provoking examples, this book is accessible and intelligent, providing a good grounding in the fundamentals while introducing students to major scholarly debates. An excellent introduction to the field. - Emma Reisz, Lecturer in Asian History, History and Anthropology, Queen's University Belfast, UK Eriksen's book is perhaps the best one volume survey on globalization available. With a clear and conversational writing style, he weaves together theory, explanation and contemporary examples into an effective overview of the causes, consequences, concepts, and debates regarding globalization. - Mark Dailey, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Green Mountain College, USA"…mehr
