Description - Geographies of Globalization by Warwick E. Murray
Approaching the topic of globalization from a human geography viewpoint, this informative text analyzes the geographical work of non-geographers, and illustrates how an appreciation of the principles of globalization is fundamental to its understanding. Written in four distinct sections, Part 1 introduces the concept of globalization, whilst discussing various theories and perspectives. Part 2 breaks down and analyzes the process in overlapping economic, political and socio-economic spheres. Part 3 uses case studies from the UK, USA, Argentina and Mozambique to ground these processes, and Part 4 draws together theoretical, historical and empirical analysis in order to reflect on the changing nature of globalization, resistance to it and the implications of this for human geography. Boxed sections highlight and explain 'key concepts' in a jargon free manner and showcase classic and innovative work by geographers in the field. The book is highly illustrated with figures and photographs, as well as chapter summaries and annotated further reading.
In summarizing and analyzing the main arguments put forward to explain, promote and criticize globalization, this informative book provides a valuable resource through which sense can be made of the various competing perspectives.
