"Globalization is a groundbreaking volume on the topic, offering a long overdue framework for understanding the continuities and discontinuities of global dynamics, with scholarship from every corner of the globe. For the first time in the study of globalization, we now have a volume that brings the local into conversation with the global across formative domains of economics, politics, culture, and technology, while attending to the through lines from the past to the present. This will become a must read for scholars and students of globalization for years to come."--Sara R. Curran, Associate Vice Provost for Research at the University of Washington and section editor of Global Perspectives.
