Offers a ground-breaking approach to central debates about globalization with chapters written by leading scholars from across the social sciences. Examines a range of phenomena that articulate broad structural transformations: technoscience, circuits of exchange, systems of governance, and regimes of ethics or values. Investigates these phenomena from the perspective of the “anthropological” problems they pose. Covers a broad range of geographical areas: Africa, the Middle East, East and South Asia, North America, South America, and Europe. Grapples with a number of empirical problems of popular and academic interest — from the organ trade, to accountancy, to pharmaceutical research, to neoliberal reform.Social changeGlobalizationSocial aspectsTechnological innovationsSocial aspectsDiscoveries in scienceSocial aspectsSocial change.GlobalizationSocial aspects.Technological innovationsSocial aspects.Discoveries in scienceSocial aspects.303.4Ong Aihwa622540Collier Stephen J964254MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139966503321Global assemblages2187054UNINA
