Add to basketThe book examines contemporary globalisation, which signifies a growing interconnectedness between people and societies across the world through increasing flows of people, goods, services, finance, and ideas across the borders. The concept of globalisation and its meaning is discussed through insights from scholars such as David Held, Anthony Giddens, David Harvey, Arjun Appadurai, Ulrich Beck, Manuel Castells, Saskia Sassen, and many other scholars to explain divergent perspectives of globalisation. The book also studies threats like nuclear weapons proliferation, global terrorism, environmental security issues, global justice, poverty, migration, and global shifts. It aims to generate readers’ interest in understanding globalisation and analysing the changing dynamics of world politics by studying it from diverse viewpoints.
The emergence of COVID-19 and resurgence of great power politics has given rise to the debate of de-globalisation and return of a new kind of ‘cold war’. In this context, this volume will also help readers to understand globalisation in the present changing world order.
The book will be useful to the students of political science, international relations, and other interdisciplinary social sciences subjects like political economy and global/international politics.
