Ronaldo Munck

Social Transformation and the Global Economy

Labour, Latin America, and the Lefts

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The context of this book is set by the decline of the globalization paradigm's ability to grasp the complexity and uncertainty of the current era. It takes a new approach based on the frame of 'transformation' viewed as a catalyst to understand the complex interconnected nature of the world around us from a concrete, grounded perspective.
