Product Description

Review

′Urry offers a rewarding look at the ways in which complexity theory can be applied to the theorization of globalization. It brings together a large number of different foci and teases out their interconnections. The author′s willingness to corral such a large array of topics comprises the key strength of this volume...this book is highly recommended for anyone interested in a new direction on the sociology, political science, geography, or economics of globalization.′

Steven M. Manson, University of Minnesota, Progress in Human Geography

"This is a fascinating analysis of the non–linear relationships underlying global complexity. By carefully using the metaphors, concepts and models of complexity theory, Urry avoids the trap of oversimplification and shows us many insights that are likely to stimulate and shape future research in this largely unexplored field."

Fritjof Capra, author of The Web of Life and The Hidden Connections

"John Urry provides a remarkably fluent account of the complexities of the fluid world in which we now find ourselves. And in the process of understanding the world as process, he lays down a challenge to all social scientists to rework their traditional intellectual boundaries. Inspiring."

Nigel Thrift, Bristol University

"This is a short book with a large and compelling agenda ... [it] paints a unique picture of the current state of the world."

American Journal of Sociology



Nigel Thrift, Bristol University

A remarkably fluent account of the complexities of the fluid world in which we now find ourselves. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
