Topics are extremely varied and wide ranging (fine, since so is global studies), which is good for an introduction book like this. However, I wish it had a bit more of a sociological touch, as at sometimes this felt like the functionalist’s dictionary

This book was set out to accomplish a very difficult task of trying to introduce the reader to the issues of globalization while trying to explain what globalization is since it encompasses so much. I think it did a good enough job as an introduction to globalization and to aware the reader of what has been going on for the past couple of decades or so and how global issues may impact you or anyone elese looking into the future.

Overall, I would recommend the book to others that are getting into economics, politics, or are just interested in global issues and what is being done or what could possibly be done. Please note that I read a newer edition (Sixth) than the one I am writing a review for and so the information in this specific one may be more dated than the one I read.

It was very… perhaps the beginning of, I agree with the main point but get tired of hearing it. Something in the preachiness of it.
