Summary note
The second edition of the Routledge International Handbook of Globalization Studies offers students clear and informed chapters on the history of globalization and key theories that have considered the causes and consequences of the globalization process. It has been completely revised and includes important additions such as the financialization of capitalism, the globalization of energy through recent developments such as fracking, the transformations of the state, global governance, the political economy of globalization, the rise of the BRICS, and an analysis of the general sense of catastrophe that surrounds the contemporary understanding of the consequences of a global world.
