Product Description

Product Description
A Globalizing World? offers a clear and intelligible guide to one of the key debates of our time, introducing the theoretical positions to examine globalization in practice, from the films we watch to the way we are governed.

From the Back Cover
The news media today are full of references to globalization - the complex connections between different countries in the world and the way these are increase over time. It is becoming a contemporary cliché that we live in a world of globalization, but little attention is paid to how it actually works in peoples lives. A Globalizing World? offers a clear and intelligible guide to one of the key debates of our time, introducing the main theoretical positions of those who study the subject and then drawing on those theoretical positions to examine globalization in practice, from the films we watch to the jobs that are available to us and the goods we buy to the way we are governed.

2.0 out of 5 stars hmmmm, 7 Jul 2008
I studied this as part of DD100 social science course with the OU. I am a geographer at heart and globalization is arguably based on geographical issues which are interrelated with social science. On my initial read of the information about this book I thought it would be very interesting... unfortunately for me this was not the case. I felt this book was hard work, and made the concept of globalization harder than it needed to be.

This is an OU textbook, and baring that in mind it has been writen with the purpose of teaching potential degree students. When combined with the workbook they can leave you enlightened at the end. But from my experience of books relating to this course this is by far the worst out of the collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Globalization? Smobilization!, 10 Jan 2008
For me this was a tricky subject to get my head round but this book is well laid out and clear and concise. Can't ask for more than that really
