Emphasizing the theory and methods that social scientists employ to study globalization, the text reveals how macro globalization processes impact individual lives, from the spread of scientific discourse to which jobs are more or less likely to be offshored. The author presents a clear image of the big globalization picture by skillfully exploring, piece by piece, a myriad of globalization topics, debates, theories, and empirical data. Compelling chapters on theory, global civil society, democracy, cities, religion, institutions (sports, education, and health care), along with three chapters on global challenges, help readers develop a broad understanding of key topics and issues. Throughout the text, the author encourages readers to relate their personal experiences to globalization processes, allowing for a more meaningful and relevant learning experience.GlobalizationGlobalization.303.482Chirico JoAnn1059676CaToSAGECaToSAGEUtOrBLWBOOK9910149360603321Globalization2507652UNINA
