Description
Book SynopsisThis accessible text provides a comprehensive overview of globalization and its consequences from the perspective of social and political critical theory. Thematic chapters provoke student inquiry and the book shows how the views of critical theorists are crucial to understanding the global processes shaping the world today.
Trade Review'El-Ojeili and Hayden provide an engaging treatment of a subject worn to death by staid, conventional accounts. Using an accessible version of critical theory, they explore the interconnected sinews of globalization and consider its many tensions and contradictions. Their insights and reflections will be of use to students for many years.' - Randall Germain, Carleton University, Canada
'...this volume is an insightful repository on how theoretical frameworks tend to foreclose certain perspectives on global interactions while favouring others.' - Emilian Kavalski, Political Studies Review
