Welcome to the Companion Website for the sixth edition of Dicken, Global Shift.
A magnificent achievement … an essential companion for anyone
concerned to understand the rapid geographical shifts occurring
in the world’s economic power relations in these stressful and
troubled times.’
David Harvey, CUNY Graduate Center, New York |

Global Shift, sixth edition, continues to deconstruct globalization to show that distance (economic geography) still matters, Dicken uses insights from international business research to demonstrate that world business activity is more regional than global. Multinational enterprises are at the hub of global production networks and service delivery; they interact with governments and generally act as agents of economic development. In short economic geography and international business are closely aligned in their approach to globalization.
Alan Rugman, Henley Business School, University of Reading |

A masterful new edition of a masterful text. Once again, Peter Dicken is at the cutting edge of the analysis of economic globalization and global trends. Global Shift is the authoritative text on these issues.
