An outstanding addition to global studies literature. It is readable, comprehensive and engaging, and this edition includes key updates to address current global issues such as Covid-19, making it an ideal textbook for students of international and global studies * Andrea Duffy, Colorado State University, USA * The impressive breadth and depth of this book make it a must-read for students looking to build a strong foundation for success in global studies. McCormick has done an excellent job in creating an appealing mix of both theories, themes and empirics to help students open the kaleidoscope of globalization using a multidisciplinary and critical approach. * Xiang Zhang, Nottingham Trent University, UK *More details
