In this extensively revised and restructured new edition of Globalization , Malcolm Waters provides a user-friendly introduction to the main arguments about the globalization process.
The 1995 edition is here updated and rearranged, and Waters, (sociology, U. of Tasmania) includes a new chapter setting out and refuting objections to globalization. He explains some of the fundamental ideas and impacts of international trade and investment becoming the norm rather than the aberration. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
