Synopsis
Globalization, Knowledge & Society provides a comprehensive examination of the latest issues involved in the development of sociology as a global discipline. The five sections in this volume illustrate different facets of this overall conception. Classic issues of relativism and universalism are raised in a new context and problems of tensions between national sociological traditions and the international discipline are explored. Finally, contributors consider the transnational process of social change and focus on the emergence of global values through the Green and Peace movements of the 1980s. This innovative volume, addresses key questions for all those interested in the nature of contemporary social change and the existing challenge to sociology and other disciplines to keep pace with these changes. Albrow and King have produced an exceptional collection of work by scholars and scientists worldwide and will be essential reading for those interested in sociology, world-systems theory, development studies, urban studies, cross-cultural studies, and anthropology.

Review
`The republication of fifteen papers from International Sociology is to be welcomed not least because it is a testimonial to Albrow′s adept editorship of that journal′ - @Contemporary Sociology
