Globalization’ has become the buzzword of our time-a term that describes a variety of changing economic, political, cultural, ideological, and environmental processes that are environmental processes that are intensified in the last few decades. Manfred B. Steger presents globalization in accessible language as a mulifiaceted process encompassing global, regional, and local aspects of social life. He explores whether it is a new phenomenon, and if it should be considered a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ thing-a question that has been hotly debated in classrooms, boardrooms, and on the steels-especially since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
