About this product
Product Information
Balanced, authoritative, and up to date, this volume examines the profound effects of economic globalization on the well-being of individuals and communities in both developed and less-developed societies. Using a variety of research methods and conceptual tools, leading experts from a range of disciplines trace the complex interactions of globalization with social, political, and health and welfare processes around the world. Compelling findings are presented on "winners" and "losers" across national boundaries, regions, class and ethnic divisions, gender, and age; the ways in which different groups have mobilized to respond to globalization's challenges; and the important policy questions raised. Also considered is the crucial question of whether globalization can adequately be addressed from the perspective of contemporary social scientific theory, or whether it requires a new paradigm for analysis.

Reviews
The editors have done a masterful job of editing this text....The value-added of this text is the focus on the outcomes of globalization and its interdisciplinary approach., "The editors have done a masterful job of editing this text....The value-added of this text is the focus on the outcomes of globalization and its interdisciplinary approach."--Economic Geography, "Too much writing about globalization is impressionistic. This book offers serious theoretical analysis backed up with convincing empirical case studies of specific features of globalization and its outcomes. Putting globalization under this type of scrutiny is long overdue. The book is particularly welcome for its accessibility and straightforward style of presentation. It is an appealing text for introductory courses in global studies and globalization."--John Agnew, Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles "A very welcome--and rich--addition to the globalization literature. This cross-disciplinary volume addresses the highly contested and often-misunderstood processes and impacts of globalization in lively and provocative ways. It will prove to be of great value to upper-level students across the social sciences, as well as to all with an interest in these vital debates. Highly recommended."--Peter Dicken, Department of Geography, University of Manchester, UK "This interdisciplinary volume contributes an important new perspective to the rapidly expanding literatures on globalization. It provides an up-to-date survey of some of the major theoretical debates on this process, while also presenting an impressively broad range of empirical evidence regarding the multifaceted outcomes for human welfare, citizenship, and democracy. Reflecting the increasingly contentious character of contemporary globalization, the book's contributors assess its impacts in divergent ways. For this reason, Globalization and Its Outcomes is likely to be an extremely useful resource for anyone interested in contemporary global transformations, including students encountering the debates on globalization for the first time as well as seasoned scholars working to decipher the impacts of this process in specific national, regional, and local contexts."--Neil Brenner, Department of Sociology and Metropolitan Studies Program, New York University"Too much writing about globalization is impressionistic.
