| Description |
| Peter Dicken's bestselling Global
Shift has been comprehensively revised and updated
in this fifth edition. |
| In Global Shift, Dicken provides an
up-to-date, balanced (but critical) account of the changing
contours of the global economic map. The book also discusses
the globalization/anti-globalization debates and explores
ways in which such processes can be shaped to improve,
rather than to diminish, peoples’ lives, especially
those most disadvantaged by the huge tides of change sweeping
across them. |
| Features of this new edition: |
- every chapter has been completely
revised and extensively rewritten to take into account
not just new empirical developments but also to incorporate
new ideas on the shaping and reshaping of production,
distribution and consumption in the global economy
|
- an entirely new chapter on the agro-food
industries, one of the most sensitive and significant
industries of all
|
- a substantially expanded discussion
of the role of global civil society organizations, problems
of governance (including the tensions over trade regulation
within the WTO and labour and environmental issues), and
of alternative economic systems
|
- all of the empirical data have been
fully updated
|
- all of the illustrations (including
many new illustrations) have been drawn or redrawn especially
for this edition
|
| Global Shift is essential reading
for those studying economic geography, sociology, political
science and international relations, management and international
business studies as well as researchers, policy-makers,
and people in business. |
