520			_aThe globalization of politics, economics, culture, and other social systems are creating challenges and opportunities for families throughout the world. Yet, sociologists and other scholars who study families are often unfamiliar with the theories and research on globalization. Global Families provides family scholars with a methodical introduction to the interdisciplinary field of globalization and examines the ways in which globalization impinges on families throughout the world in four major areas: demographic transitions, worldwide culture, international violence, and transnational employment. The book concludes with a discussion of supranational policies and other efforts to position families in this global landscape. NEW TO THIS EDITION • Empirical research and statistical information have been thoroughly updated throughout to ensure that the book is completely current. • Increased inclusion of data from international governmental and news sources exposes students to a broader, more global range of scholarship on families • New inclusion of worldwide breaking news demonstrates the timeliness of issues addressed in the book. . Chapters have been reorganized to create a clearer, more logical flow from deinographics and culture to violence and employment.
