Description: "Viewed as a destructive force or an inevitability of modern society, globalization is the focus of a multitude of differences. A clear understanding of its processes and terminology is imperative for anyone engaging with this topic. Globalization: the Key Concepts offers a comprehensive guide to this cross-disciplinary subject and covers concepts such as: homogenization, neo-liberalism, risk, knowledge society, time-space compression, and reflexivity. With extensive cross-referencing and suggestions for further reading, this book is an essential resource for students and interested readers alike as they navigate the literature on globalisation studies."--BOOK JACKET
