On the one hand, there are the ′globalists′, who argue that the world is being fundamentally and irreversibly transformed by globalization. The fate of national communities is, they hold, increasingly shaped by regional and global forces. On the other hand, there are the ′sceptics′, who think that the globalists′ claims are exaggerated and poorly substantiated. The sceptics contend that the world has not been irreversibly altered by globalization, and that the power of national governments, nationalism and geo–politics remain the determining features of our age. The Global Transformations Reader brings together the most original contributions from both sides of the argument and from a range of disciplines.
Organized as an accessible and comprehensive teaching text, the Reader is divided into sections which cover all the key issues:
This volume will be of immense value to all those interested in one of the great debates of our time. It will appeal to students of politics, international relations, economics, sociology, geography and cultural studies courses.

′If readers must be accepted as core tools in higher education, then this volume is a worthy resource. It brings together extracts from the most up–to–date and "essential interventions" in the globalization debate, made by members of the international grande armée of the social sciences ... The section on politics is outstanding for its historical content and perspective and for the detail and focus of the texts.′ Times Higher Education Supplement
