“The stimulating essays in this remarkably comprehensive
collection cover important global trends, present intriguing
theoretical perspectives, and take sides in current debates on
globalization. Many illustrate what Ritzer calls the
“globophobic” thrust in recent work on the subject.
This volume is required reading for serious students of
globalization.”

"This is a thoroughly collated, unique combination of
encyclopaedic surveys of the major controversies that split/unite
the on-going debate on the origins, dynamics and the prospects of
globalization, with illuminating case studies exploring the diverse
impacts of globalizing pressures on contemporary life in all parts
of the planet. An exceptionally useful reference, gathering under
one cover texts otherwise difficult to access and seldom considered
together."
Zygmunt Bauman, University of Leeds and University of
Warsaw
