Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on the intersection of time and globalization, this innovative collection aims to create an interdisciplinary dialogue between the (largely separated) respective literatures on each of these themes. It illustrates the theoretical benefits of bridging time with globalization and also exemplifies the methodological strengths of engaging in cutting-edge, interdisciplinary scholarship to better understand the changing economic, social, political, cultural and ecological dynamics in this globalizing world. This book was originally published as a special issue of Globalizations.
