<p>“This is a powerful and subtle book that casts a sharp sociological eye on the interconnections between globalization and local reactions to it, including different populisms and technocratic claims. It is also a powerful meditation on the nature of social science, its responsibilities, and the changes necessary for it to address pressing social issues” —<strong>John Holmwood</strong>, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Nottingham.</p>

<p>“Written with conceptual sophistication and empirical breadth, Karner’s illuminating approach to glocalization not only invites the reader to rethink the nature of social science in the contemporary world but also produces incisive empirical, normative, and political insights into the most pressing issues of our times” —<strong>José López</strong>, PhD, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ottawa, Canada.</p>

<p>“This book provides a thought-provoking and comprehensive engagement with local manifestations of global flows and processes. Globalization is shown to be an ongoing intensification of interconnectedness across various spaces and contexts. Karner succeeds in situating these often abstract global processes within our direct local and personal experiences. He does so with rich and varied empirical detail, theoretical depth and rigor, and methodological and epistemological creativity and innovation.” —<strong>Dr Bernard Weicht.</strong></p>
