Einzelstück 33 - A Sociology of Globalization

In her groundbreaking book, sociologist Saskia Sassen focuses on the importance of place, scale, and the meaning of the national to the study of globalization. By emphasizing the interplay between the global and the local, A Sociology of Globalization introduces readers to new and increasingly common forms and conditions such as global cities, transnational communities, and commodity chains. Sassen's expanded approach to globalization offers new interpretive and analytic tools to understand the complex ideas of global interdependence. (Klappentext)
