About this title

Synopsis

This best-selling text vividly shows how political and economic changes affect people's lives in different settings around the world. Five entirely new chapters in this edition survey theories of globalization (including critical and feminist perspectives); describe the globalization of production and its impact on work and gender relations; examine the impact in developing countries of export manufacturing, tourist industries, and the growing 'traffic in women'; and depict new dimensions of the environmental movement. Updates throughout the text cover recent world events, including war and international terrorism.
