Includes bibliographical references (pages 139-145) and index
Globalization: a contested concept -- Globalization and history: Is globalization a new phenomenon? -- The economic dimension of globalization -- The political dimension of globalization -- The cultural dimension of globalization -- The ecological dimension of globalization -- Ideologies of globalization: market globalism, justice globalism, religious globalisms -- Global crises and the future of globalization.
Rather than forcing such a complex social phenomenon into a single conceptual framework, Manfred Steger presents globalization in plain, readable English as a multifaceted process encompassing global, regional, and local aspects of social life.
