From the Back Cover
Globalization: Key Thinkers offers a critical commentary on the leading thinkers in the contemporary globalization debate, as well as new arguments about the future direction of globalization thinking. The book guides the reader through the key arguments of leading thinkers, explaining their place in the wider globalization debate and evaluating their critical reception. Eleven thematic chapters focus on one or two key thinkers covering every aspect of the globalization debate including the theoretical arguments of Anthony Giddens and Manuel Castells, to the positive arguments of Thomas Friedman and Martin Wolf and the reforming ideas of Joseph Stiglitz. Other chapters variously address the ideas of Immanuel Wallerstein, Arjun Appadurai, Paul Hirst, Naomi Klein, Grahame Thompson, David Held, Anthony McGrew, Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Saskia Sassen and Peter Dicken. Each chapter also provides some carefully selected recommendations for further reading for the thinkers discussed. The book ends with a concluding chapter that examines how thinking about globalization is likely to develop in future. Whilst individual chapters can stand alone, the book is designed as a whole to enhance the reader’s understanding of how different thinkers’ ideas relate and contrast to each other.

Condition: Bueno. : Este libro ofrece un comentario crítico sobre los principales pensadores en el debate contemporáneo sobre la globalización, así como nuevos argumentos sobre la dirección futura del pensamiento sobre la globalización. El libro guía al lector a través de los argumentos clave de los principales pensadores, explicando su lugar en el debate más amplio sobre la globalización y evaluando su recepción crítica. Once capítulos temáticos se centran en uno o dos pensadores clave que cubren todos los aspectos del debate sobre la globalización, desde los argumentos teóricos de Anthony Giddens y Manuel Castells hasta los argumentos positivos de Thomas Friedman y Martin Wolf, y las ideas reformistas de Joseph Stiglitz. Otros capítulos abordan las ideas de Immanuel Wallerstein, Arjun Appadurai, Paul Hirst, Naomi Klein, Grahame Thompson, David Held, Anthony McGrew, Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Saskia Sassen y Peter Dicken. Cada capítulo también proporciona algunas recomendaciones cuidadosamente seleccionadas para lecturas adicionales de los pensadores discutidos. El libro concluye con un capítulo final que examina cómo es probable que se desarrolle el pensamiento sobre la globalización en el futuro. Si bien los capítulos individuales pueden ser independientes, el libro está diseñado en su conjunto para mejorar la comprensión del lector de cómo las ideas de los diferentes pensadores se relacionan y contrastan entre sí.
