From the Foundations in Global Studies series, this text offers students a fresh, comprehensive, multidisciplinary entry point to the study of the political and economic aspects of global studies. Students are guided through the material with relevant maps, resource boxes, and text boxes that support and guide further independent exploration of the topics at hand. After a brief introduction to the political and economic components of global studies, the early chapters of the book survey the key concepts and processes of globalization as well as a critical look at the meaning and role globalization. The second half of the book features interdisciplinary case studies, each of which focuses on a specific issue.
