Summary:

"This Modern Guide provides invaluable insights from leading scholars into the burgeoning field of global studies. At a time of heated debate regarding the future of humanity and the resilience of earth-system processes, it examines the strengths and weaknesses of global scholarship as a tool for understanding the human condition. Contributing authors present incisive and accessible commentary on key practical issues, including climate change, populism, COVID-19, sexism, racism, and digitization. They explore in detail how global theory can respond in innovative ways to contemporary problems worldwide and keep pace with runaway trends and daunting circumstances. Chapters demonstrate the many ways that globalization shapes today's rapidly evolving world, embracing the need to reflect on globalization's achievements and failures. Ultimately, the book charts the current and projected state of a globalized world undergoing seismic changes, reflecting on the threat or promise of a new world order. A Modern Guide to Globalization is a vital read for academics and students in globalization, international politics, sociology, and political theory, analysing the key research questions that have emerged in recent academic debates. It is also a vital resource for international policy-makers"-- Provided by publisher.
