GLOBALIZATION A BASIC TEXT THIRD EDITION Globalization: A Basic Text explores the structures, processes, and theories central to the study of globalization. Covering a wide range of contemporary topics, this comprehensive textbook introduces students to the forces driving both globalization and de-globalization in the twenty-first century. The authors incorporate empirical research and a wealth of real-world examples to demonstrate the many ways global flows are shaped by complex economic, political, cultural, environmental, and technological factors. Now in its third edition, Globalization contains extensively updated coverage of how globalization has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the rise of populist leaders, Brexit and other nationalist movements, resistance to migration, social justice activism, climate change, and other current trends, issues, and debates. New examples and sources from Central and South America, Africa, and Asia present international perspectives on globalization. Expanded discussion of the inequalities across class, race, and gender focuses on how the structures of globalization expedite global flows for some groups and serve as barriers for others. Explaining the abstract, multi-dimensional nature of globalization with an accessible and engaging approach, Globalization: A Basic Text, Third Edition is the ideal textbook for undergraduate courses in globalization, and an excellent supplement for students studying sociology, political science, geography, anthropology, global inequality, and migration.
