Summary, etc. Where do we most see the impact of globalization: the city, the workplace or the environment? In what ways are contemporary societies evolving. and what can sociology tell us about these changes? This timely text explores the ways in which processes of globalization transform and impact upon modern society.<br/><br/>Globalization, Modernity and Social Change explores these questions through a series of engaging case studies, Building a detailed empirical account of the dynamics of globalization and modernization, it examines how increasingly ambiguous and 'liminal' spaces are generated within society. Using an innovative approach, the book examines a number of 'hotspots' of social transition, including:<br/><br/>The global city and border regions <br/>The workplace<br/>Political identity formation<br/>Environmental issues and new modes of consumption<br/><br/>Dürrschmidt and Taylor explore the new social relationships emerging from global transformations, whilst highlighting what is specifically 'social' in these complex processes of urban, economic, cultural, political and scientific change. It is essential reading for all those interested in issues of globalization and modern social change.
