For the first time in human history, the vast majority of the
world’s population is connected through trade, travel, production,
media and politics. Ours is an era of ubiquitous mobile communication,
economic outsourcing, mass migration and imported consumer goods. At
the same time, people everywhere are concerned to keep their
identities rooted and sense of place in the face of momentous
change.This new edition of Thomas Hylland Eriksen’s concise and
engaging landmark textbook outlines the main debates and controversies
around globalization, and develops a unique perspective to show how
globalization is an inherently double process, taking place both from
above and below. Each chapter is supported by boxed case studies and
bullet points summarizing the core information, suggestions for
further reading, and essay and discussion questions, making this the
ideal guide for both the classroom and independent study. Focusing on
key concepts of globalization and drawing on international examples,
this book is essential for anyone wishing to understand the
fundamental processes underlying the contemporary world and the
consequences these have for all of us.
