The Handbook of Globalisation

Meer over het boek

Globalisation has been a prominent topic in research, resulting in extensive and complex literature. Often poorly defined, it raises numerous unresolved and contentious questions influenced by ideological perspectives. The 2008 global credit crunch, which led to the first global recession since the 1930s, highlighted the damaging and unsustainable nature of the 'capitalism unleashed' model of globalisation that gained traction in the 1980s. This updated and revised handbook addresses two main concerns: redefining globalisation to clarify the concept and advancing critical thinking on its role and impact, including the implications for society, the economy, and governance. Featuring contributions from leading experts and an overarching introduction by the editor, this handbook offers an inter-disciplinary perspective, making it a definitive guide on this pervasive issue. It is essential reading for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students in economics, business, international studies, and related fields, as well as scholars and policymakers interested in the global economy and the dynamics of an increasingly interconnected world.
