About this title

Synopsis

The emerging global market economy created by finance capital and technological revolution accelerated an economic growth process, followed by an economic and financial crisis, in various countries the world over. This has led to the widening of inter-regional and inter-personal socio-economic disparities and marginalization, which also threatens the environmental sustainability of the growth process. Fast changes in the political and social institutions which accompanied the growth trajectory caused an emergence of new challenges of political representation and social relations in terms of gender and culture. This collection of papers provides new insights into the methodological innovations required to grapple with emerging socio-economic issues in the era of globalization. Selected papers have been grouped into eight thematic sections. The issues discussed in this book, as well as the methodological innovations that are suggested, will help young researchers comprehend the much needed new art of research on emerging societal issues. This book will be immensely useful to students, as well as policy makers. [Subject: Sociology, Development Studies, Economics, Globalization]
