Description

The definitive text on globalization, this book provides an accessible, jargon-free analysis of how the world economy works and its effects on people and places. Peter Dicken synthesizes the recent ideas and empirical data to blaze a clear path throughout the thicket of globalization processes and debates. The book highlights the dynamic interactions among transnational corporations, nations, and other key players, and their role in shaping the uneven contours of development. Mapping the changing centers of gravity of the global economy, Dicken presents in-depth case studies of six major industries. Now in full color all through, the text features 228 figures. Companion web pages for students and instructors offer extensive supplemental resources, including creator videos, applied case studies with questions, lecture notes with PowerPoint slides, discipline-specific suggested further reading for each and every chapter, and interactive flashcards.
