Globalization has become one of the most important topics within politics and economics. This new title explains some of the related terminology, summarizes the surrounding theories and examines the international organizations involved. With the proliferation of communications and the rise of the multi-national corporation, the concept of globalization is vitally important to the modern political environment. The structure of the modern economy, based on information production and diffusion, has made national boundaries largely irrelevant. A Dictionary of Globalization explains theories, philosophies and ideologies, and includes short biographies of leading activists, theorists and thinkers such as Noam Chomsky, Karl Marx and José Bové. Concepts, issues and terms key to the understanding of globalization also have clear and concise definitions, including democracy, civil society, non-governmental organizations and ethnicity. Cross-referenced for ease of use, this title aims to be of great benefit to anyone studying politics or sociology. It will prove essential to public and academic libraries, as well as to businesses, government departments, embassies and journalists.

The Dictionary of Globalization is designed for first and second year classes on or related to globalization (i.e. on global economic integration, global politics, global cultural change, international relations after the Cold War and so on). It will serve as a companion volume for the author''s Blackwell textbook, Introduction to Globalization (in the pipeline). At the same time it is independent in organization and comprehensive in coverage and it will function as a supplementary volume alongside other key globalization texts including, Peter Dicken''s Global Shift, Lechner and Boli''s Globalization Reader, Jan Art Scholte''s Globalization: A Critical Introduction, Manfred Steger''s Globalism: The New Market Ideology, Richard Robbins'' Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism, Mark Brawley''s The Politics of Globalization, Robin Cohen''s Global Sociology, James Mittelman''s The Globalization Syndrome, and Held et al''s Global Transformations. Wherever these sorts of texts are being adopted, the Dictionary promises to work well for students both in introductory ''globalization-related'' courses and in upper division classes on more specialized topics such as governance, development, migration, world politics, economic sociology, world cities, neoliberalism, and the cultural politics of transnationalism. For these sorts of upper division students as well as for those in big introductory classes, the definitions offered in the Dictionary will provide a personal resource that not only unpacks and explains the meaning of specialized terms and jargon, but also offers tips on how best to explore the contested disciplinary, institutional and legal entailments of different meanings. For instructors the Dictionary will simultaneously offer an alternative to the sometimes wasteful moments spent in class endlessly re-clarifying key terms for particular students who have not taken the necessary introductory level courses in particular areas. Each definition will use bold terms within entries in order to provide the possibility of open-ended ''definitional trails'', which can lead students situated across the social sciences on global pedagogical journeys based on their own interests. At the same time, students who are just in need of a quick reminder of the meaning of a single term will be able to use the text simply as a straightforward list of definitions. Having put the word out that we were looking for a dictionary editor, it became clear that the glossary for Matt Sparke''s textbook was expanding rapidly, and he agreed to have a shot as an author at adapting and developing this into a full-blown Dictionary. Following positive reviews of an initial proposal, work has been underway for several months and I''ve now agreed with John Agnew at UCLA that he will act as advisor to the project (he will review draft material over the summer). Additional reviewers will be engaged to suggest gaps in the headword list and review material in their areas of interest. With all this in mind I think we''ve now reached the point where we can be confident about offering a contract. In its current state it contains 170 finished draft definitions, and 250 unfinished definitions, with an overall target at the end of the process of around 500 definitions. The finished definitions vary in length from simple 10-15 word sentences (such as the definition of CEO) to middle range 300-400 word single paragraphs (such as the definition of privatization) to much longer 1000+ word entries with multiple paragraphs (such as the definition of NAFTA). Most of the longer definitions contain or will ultimately contain citations and suggestions for further reading, as well as the occasional quotation. There will be a sprinkling of illustrations to break-up the pages and invite students into the text visually. In response to one of the key suggestions made by reviewers, the suggested further readings will be placed at the end of each entry and considerably expanded. Once a contract has been offered, and with the help of two research assistants, the author will undertake this work over the summer with a view to expanding significantly the referencing of work outside geography across the social sciences, humanities and popular literatures on globalization. As much as possible definitions themselves will draw on writing from right across the social sciences and humanities. Suggested readings will be as wide as possible following the vast variety of the key terms themselves. Currently these run the gamut from the Bretton Woods Agreement, Export Credit Agencies and Fordism/Post-Fordism through to certain key terms which recur across definitions like neoliberalism, and more theoretically difficult concepts such as geopolitics and ideology. The front matter of the Dictionary will feature a short introductory essay outlining the ways the text can be used, the status of the definitions, and the way they relate to some of the key debates over the meaning of globalization itself. Following reviewers'' suggestions, the introductory essay will also provide an opportunity to foreground recent theoretical debates over globalization, discussing the implications of these debates for student use of the dictionary. An index will be included at the end of the book. Based on reviewer''s suggestions, the content of entries will be revised to include: more factual details; more cross-referencing; more suggested readings; more entries oriented away from geography; and more global coverage of health, political and legal affairs outside America. I would like to get some feedback on the project from an electronic market survey but hesitated as I wasn''t certain how to get the best out of such a survey given the dictionary content (asking for responses to the headword list of around 500 entries might be problematic). There is a new network involving over 100 players worldwide called the Global Studies Network (hosted at the University of Warwick) from which we could hope to get feedback.

Characterised by conceptual diversity, the Handbook of Globalisation and Development presents contributions from prominent international researchers on all aspects of globalisation and carefully considers their role across a whole host of development processes. The Handbook is structured around seven key areas: international trade, international production, international finance, migration, foreign aid, a broader view, and challenges. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, the section on ‘a broader view’ delves into dimensions of globalisation and development that go beyond the mere economic, such as: culture, technology, health, and poverty. Carefully crafted, the chapters herein offer a rigorous and comprehensive assessment of the available research to date and provide an assessment of policy options across all areas considered.

This book provides brief expositions of the central concepts in the field of Global Studies. Former President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev says, “The book is intelligent, rich in content and, I believe, necessary in our complex, turbulent, and fragile world.” 300 authors from 50 countries contributed 450 entries. The contributors include scholars, researchers, and professionals in social, natural, and technological sciences. They cover globalization problems within ecology, business, economics, politics, culture, and law. This interdisciplinary collection provides a basis for understanding the concepts and methods within global studies and for accessing lengthier and more technical research in the field. The articles treat such important topics as the biosphere, ozone depletion, land resources and pollution, world health challenges, education, global modeling, sustainable development, war, weapons of mass destruction, and terrorism. The book also promotes academic cooperation, political dialogue, and mutual understanding across diverse traditions and national identities that are needed to engage successfully the many daunting challenges of globalization.

Globalization transcends borders and cultures as it develops both from the natural flow of information and communication technologies and as a directed and driven quest for global hegemony by self-serving corporations and world political heavyweights. It bears a multifaceted web of influence that manifests in inequalities in growth, prosperity, and

Interrogating Xenophobia and Nativism in Twenty-First-Century Africa interrogates xenophobia and nativism in Africa and how they hamper the realisation of Pan-Africanism. The contributors examine migration in Africa, immigration policies and politics, and the social impacts and history of xenophobia and nativism in African life and culture. Through their analyses, the contributors explore how xenophobia and nativism have impacted the Pan-Africanism movement. The book also offers suggestions for reducing xenophobia and nativism in Africa, including bettering immigration policies and creating socioeconomic structures that would enrich the public and help prevent the pervasive belief that immigrants usurp limited opportunities for the poor in the countries they immigrate to.

The Reconciliation of Humanity in Christ is essential reading for Christians who wish to lead and serve the globalized world. This book is about theological engagement with globalization. Although people are now living in a world in which a universal and inclusive society has emerged, the church has remained powerless in uniting peoples, nations, and civilizations as one in Christ. In order for the church to regain its credibility and confidence, it must address three theological issues: social justice, religious pluralism and ethics, and the missional method. The rationale for this book is that the power of true religion becomes evident in the world when all Christians are engaging with globalization to reconcile humanity with God and with each other in preparation for the consummation of God’s kingdom. In response to the problems of globalization, Christians can become agents of renewal for globalization by administering God’s grace and peace for humanity. This book will educate and equip the readers to engage with the issues of globalization in the public arena. Readers will gain a biblical understanding of the church’s role in fulfilling God’s plan and purpose for humanity through globalization.

Applied Natural Science: Environmental Issues and Global Perspectives provides the reader with a complete insight into the natural-scientific pattern of the world, covering the most important historical stages of the development of various areas of science, methods of natural-scientific research, general scientific and philosophical concepts, and the fundamental laws of nature. The book analyzes the main scientific trends and developments of modern natural science and also discusses important aspects of environmental protection. Topics include: The problem of "the two cultures": the mathematization of natural sciences and the informatization of society The non-linear nature of the processes occurring in nature and society Application of the second law of thermodynamics to describe the development of biological systems Global problems of the biosphere Theory and practice of stable organic paramagnetic materials Polymers and the natural environment Key features include: An interdisciplinary approach in considering scientific and technical problems A discussion of general scientific trends in modern natural science, including globalization challenges in nature and society, the organic chemistry of stable paramagnetic materials, the fundamentals of the environmental chemistry of polymeric materials, etc. A justification of applying classical (non-equilibrium) thermodynamics to studying the behavior of open (including biological) systems Of particular importance in the book is the discussion of some problems associated with the place of man in the biosphere, issues of the globalization of science and technology, new ideas about the universe, and the concept of universal evolutionism. At the same time, the book discusses more specific issues related to solving major global and regional environmental problems (particularities of organic paramagnetic materials, the influence of polymers on the man and environment, etc). All this leads to the fundamental conclusion of the unity of animate and inanimate nature, as well as improvement of the process of cognition of the real world, which consists in objective and natural changing of world views. The book is intended for professors, teachers, and students of classical and technological universities who are interested in the development of the foundations of modern natural sciences, as well as for professionals working in the field of chemical physics and applied ecology.
