Globalization and culture vol. 2

This major series is an essential reading source for students, researchers and professors in economics, business and international political economy. It presents, by theme, an authoritative selection of the most important articles on globalization-an area that is attracting increasing interest in both advanced and developing economies. Each volume has been prepared by a leading specialist who has written an authoritative introduction to the literature included. The series represents an important landmark and will be an indispensable reference source to the rapidly growing literature on the process of globalization. Globalization has been the subject of fierce academic and public debates over the past two decades, but the focus has tended to revolve around 'objective' aspects linked to economics and technology. This authoritative two-volume set, edited by a leading academic in the field, brings together important papers which cover equally crucial subjective dimensions with particular emphasis on the production and dispersion of cultural meanings, identities and practices. Along with an original introduction, this research collection will be of use to anyone with an interest in the subject of globalization and culture.
