About the Book
Globalization: Key Thinkers provides a critical analysis of leading thinkers in the ongoing debate about globalization. This book offers in-depth commentaries on the theories and arguments of prominent intellectuals, while also introducing new perspectives on the future trajectory of globalization thinking. The text is structured around eleven thematic chapters, each focused on one or two key thinkers, spanning the theoretical, positive, and reformist arguments, as well as the more skeptical and radical views.
Some of the thinkers discussed include Anthony Giddens, Manuel Castells, Thomas Friedman, Martin Wolf, Joseph Stiglitz, Immanuel Wallerstein, Arjun Appadurai, Paul Hirst, Naomi Klein, and many others. Each chapter provides recommendations for further reading and situates each thinker’s arguments within the broader globalization discourse. The book concludes by reflecting on how globalization thinking is likely to evolve in the future.
