Globalization book cover

Globalization /The Key Concepts/
Annabelle Mooney and Betsy Evans
Routledge 2007

Globalization scholars belong to fields as diverse as cultural studies, sociology, economics, international relations, political theory, art and linguistics. This cross-disciplinary nature of globalization is perhaps one its defining features. Hence, it is a field that borrows a significant number of terms and concepts from existing lexicons. The result is that what globalization means is always in dispute. This book attempts to identify some of the key terms and concepts within the field and outline the discussion and the central debates that different scholars raise. Globalization: the Key Concepts has now been translated into Arabic and Chinese.
