Reihe: Frontiers of Globalization

This upper level textbook provides readers with evocative and analytical accounts ofsocial processes that are linked to globalization and connectivity, which includes a widerange of multi-centred connections in history, DNA analysis, technology, art populismand political economy.
Rather than globalization, Nederveen Pieterse focuses on connectivity. His approachto globalization differs from both structuralist accounts of the world-system, and theinstitutionally-centred focus of much work in international studies. This synthesis willprovide a new resource to reconstruct theoretical approaches to globalization andglobal studies.
Fluently written, clearly organized and with an interdisciplinary approach, the bookwill be accessible to upper division undergraduates and graduates in social sciences andhumanities, including students and researchers from the fields of sociology, politics,political economy, development studies and international relations.
