Globalization and its Outcomes

'An important new perspective to the rapidly expanding literatures on globalization. It provides an up-to-date survey of some of the major theoretical debates on this process, while also presenting an impressively broad range of empirical evidence regarding the multifaceted outcomes for human welfare, citizenship, and democracy.' - Neil Brenner, New York University

'This book offers serious theoretical analysis backed up with convincing empirical case-studies of specific features of globalization and its outcomes. Putting globalization under this type of scrutiny is long overdue. The book is particularly welcome for its accessibility and straightforward style of presentation. It is an appealing text for courses devoted to global studies and globalization.' - John Agnew, University of California, Los Angeles
