Globalization : a very short introduction
Steger, Manfred B., author.
Oxford : Oxford University Press, [2023]
"In the sixth edition of his bestselling Very Short Introduction, Manfred B. Steger offers concise definitions of pertinent key terms and concepts. He provides an accessible overview of the long history of globalization followed by an examination of its major dimensions: economic, political, cultural, ideological, and ecological. He also engages the hotly contested question of whether it is, ultimately, a good or a bad thing. From climate change to the COVID-19 pandemic, resurgent nationalism to global social media, trade wars to China’s growing global profile, Russia’s expansionism to renewed fears of nuclear conflicts, he explores today’s unprecedented levels of planetary integration and disruption." --
