From the publisher:

This collection of narratives presents the issue of globalisation from different perspectives. This diversity of opinion is natural, as globalisation cannot be seen as a simple linear scheme, if only because it contains both development and destruction in its existence. Structurally, this book is organised around two main themes. The first focuses on social theory. This theme explores the extent to which globalisation is a testament to the expansion of social theory. The second central theme of the book is social change. Here, the question revolves around the socio-cultural processes and forms of life that emerge as the global eliminates the nation-state as the defining frame of social life. The book is intended for specialists - political scientists, sociologists, cultural studies and students of the above-mentioned specialities.
