Zusammenfassung:The succeeding chapters trace the effects of the process through the arenas of economy, politics and culture. Here the book gives a lively treatment to such topics as planetary environmentalism, the new international division of labour, the new world order, growing religious fundamentalism and democratization and marketization. These topics are integrated within a theoretical account that views globalization as the consequence of the new pre-eminence of culture in social life
We are surrounded by globalizing developments: the emergence of the global communications industry; the growth of multinational enterprises; the influence of global financial markets; global warming; and international action on human rights. These have brought the idea of a global society into prominence. We now recognise that the constraints of geography are shrinking and that the world is becoming a single place. In this crisp and incisive book, Malcolm Waters provides a much needed guide to the concept in social theory and the social, economic and political consequences. The first two chapters offer a critical summary of the main theories of globalization, outlining the standard contributions - modernization and convergence, the capitalist world-system, transnationalization and the global village - before moving on to tease out the common threads in the contemporary globalization theories of Robertson, Giddens, Harvey and Beck
