Globalization and Its Outcomes

"This book offers important findings on the outcomes of globalization--the winners and losers at scales ranging from global to local, across different classes and ethnicities, as well as in terms of gender and age--and identifies some important policy implications of these findings....This book covers some of the major theoretical debates and importantly includes a variety of empirical analyses that consider the operation and impacts of globalization at different scales in both developed and less-developed countries....The book is well-written and accessible and its interdisciplinary scope makes it a good book for students interested in the debates about globalization, as well as for others who will gain rich insights from the various case studies from around the world. Ultimately, the book succeeds in offering the reader a sense of the growing theoretical and empirical literature on globalization and its social outcomes from a variety of disciplinary approaches and perspectives."--Annals of the Association of American GeographersO'Loughlin, John is the author of 'Globalization and Its Outcomes', published 2004 under ISBN 9781593850463 and ISBN 1593850468.
