-The manuscript will be fully revised to contain up-to-date examples to illustrate the theories of globalization. Two new chapters will be provided.

I feel that we can do so much better with this new edition by a proper marketing campaign including a text book mailing to key institutions. The contributors are truely international and we can use them to promote the book in these contries.-There are 64 dual honors degree courses in the UK for politics and globalization/international relations. On top of this most single honors politics degrees contain a module on globalization. A quick search on Amazon for globalization/international relations degree programs in the States reveals a long list of colleges including Boston University, University of Southern California, Western Illinois University and California State University. This book should be essential reading on these courses.
