العولمة: نص أساس

Rate this book
إن الجدل الدائر حول العولمة هو بدون شك أحد الأسباب التى تجعل منها موضوعا لا يدانيه فى صعوبته أى موضوع آخر من الموضوعات التى تشغل تفكيرنا . ومع ذلك فالأمر الأكثر أهمية بكثير هو عظم وتنوع وتعقد عملية العولمة التى تشمل تقريبا كل إنسان وكل شيء وكل مكان بطرق يصعب حصرها.
لقد أصبحت العولمة ، وبشكل متزايد ، موجودة فى كل مكان . إننا نعيش فى عصر عولمى ، او بالأحرى فى عصر العولمة . إن العولمة تمثل بوضوح تغييراً بالغ الاهمية ، بل ويمكن القول بأنها أهم تغيير طرأ على التاريخ الإنسانى ، وهو ما ينعكس فى مجالات كثيرة ولاسيما فى مجالات العلاقات الإجتماعية ، وبشكل خاص فى تللك العلاقات والبنى التى تنتشر على نطاق واسع جغرافياً.
وعلى الرغم من أن جل اهتمامنا يقع فى هذا الكتاب على العولمة ، فإن العديد من الباحثين لا يقبلون فكرة أننا نعيش فى عصر العولمة . ومع ذلك يتبنى هذا الكتاب وينطلق من منظور عولمى . لقد باتت العولمة أمراً واقعا. لقد غدت من الاهمية بمكان بحيت يمكن أن تطلق على العصر الذى نعيش فيه " عصر العولمة"
كما يقوم الكتاب الذى ينطلق من عدد من النظريات بدءاً بالغمبريالية والأمركه و ( الأمركه المضادة) وصولا إلى الليبرالية الجديدة وبدائلها المتمثلة فى الماركسية الجديدة والنماذج الكبرى للنظرية الثقافية ، بفحص الاحداث المؤثرة فى تاريخ العولمة والتدفقات والبنى الأساسية المقدمة فى هذا السياق التاريخى . ومن بين الموضوعات الرئيسية التى يتناولها الكتاب : الاقتصاد ، الثقافة ، التكنولوجيا ، الميديا ، الإنترنت ، الهجرة ، البيئة ، التفاوتات العالمية ، ك مستقبل العولمة . والكتاب مزود بمجموعة من الخرائط ومسرد بالمصطلحات المهمة ، ويقدم للقارىء ليس فقط ةصفا للعولمة ، وإنما يقدم أيضا تحليلاً نقدياً لها.

Yes, this is a textbook. But I read the whole damn thing and enjoyed most of it. And it took time away from my leisure reading so it counts toward my challenge. Fight me.

Anyway, I read this text for a course in Globalization of Information for my MLIS. This book isn't specifically geared toward librarians so it was a beautiful breath of fresh air. It breaks down history, theory, and practice into mostly digestible information. It made me look at several aspects of our world very differently. It taught me things I didn't already know. My one realistic complaint is that it is dense AF in terms of information and layout. It was hard to absorb more than a chapter in a single sitting. Also, the text seriously needs to be broken up. Every page was a wall of words. So I'm basically complaining that there weren't more pictures. My one unrealistic complaint is that this edition was published before Trump and Brexit and some of the projected ways in which the authors (and sources they cited) thought the world would end up working are terribly wrong and I couldn't help but take my pen and write things like "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" or "holy fuck" in the margins. But that's not the book's fault. Anyway, I liked this. If you end up having to read this for a class, it's actually pretty good.

I know textbooks aren't exactly meant to be compelling reads, but this was the worst textbook I had my first term by far. It's so incredibly dry and wordy it's hard to even get through a paragraph as someone who enjoys reading and is interested in the concepts.

Generally a decent textbook and relatively easy as an introduction. However, it's a lot of text without meaning, just to fill it out.
