Geographies of Globalization 2nd edition offers an animated and fully-updated exposition of the geographical impacts of globalization and the contribution of human geography to studies and debates in this area. Energetic and engaging, this book: •  Critically appraises the concept and processes of globalization from a geographical perspective •  Debates the historical evolution of globalized society •  Illustrates how the core principles of human geography - such as space and scale - lead to a better understanding of the phenomenon •  Analyses the interconnected economic, political and cultural geographies of globalization •  Examines the impact of global transformations ’on the ground’ using examples from six continents •  Discusses the three global crises currently facing the world - inequality, the environment and unstable capitalism most recently manifested in the Great Recession•  Articulates a human geographical framework for progressive globalization and approaching solutions to the problems we face Boxed sections highlight key concepts and innovative work by geographers including sections based on first-hand fieldwork called Geographers on the Ground. The book is also generously illustrated with a wide range of figures, photographs, and maps. Geographies of Globalization is essential for geography undergraduates and postgraduates studying the phenomenon in both dedicated and related courses and highly recommended for those in allied disciplines such as Sociology, International Relations, Development Studies and Anthropology.
