Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Lechner has drawn on his extensive work on, and his deep knowledge of, globalization to write a brief, accessible and highly successful introduction to the field. The early chapters on food, sport and mass media should pique the student?s interest and lure them into a deeper involvement with later chapters and the field in general." ?George Ritzer, University of Maryland "Frank Lechner's text takes on key issues in the study of globalization with real clarity and critical power. An authoritative account of the major issues, theories and debates in the field, aptly illustrated by diverse contemporary examples, this text offers a clear analysis of a complex topic that will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars." ?Fran Tonkiss, London School of Economics
