Rezensionen

"More current and extensive than Roland Robertson and Jan Aart Scholte's Encyclopedia of Globalization (Routledge, 2006), this excellent interdisciplinary resource is recommended for college and advanced high school students interested in the various ways people worldwide are interconnected." (Library Journal, 2012)
