Global Shift is - quite simply - the definitive work on economic
globalization. The extensive use of graphics, lack of jargon, and
clear definition of terms has made it the standard work for the social
sciences. The Seventh Edition has been completely updated using the
latest available sources. It maps the changing centres of gravity of
the global economy and explains the global financial crisis. Each
chapter has been extensively rewritten and new material introduced to
explain the most recent empirical developments; ideas on production,
distribution, consumption; and corporate governance. Global Shift
provides: The most comprehensive and up-to-date explanation of
economic globalization available, examining the role of transnational
corporations, states, labour, consumers, organizations in civil
society, and the power relations between them. A clear guide to how
the global economy is being transformed through the operation of
global production networks involving transnational corporations,
states, interest groups and technology. Extended discussion of
problems and institutions of global governance in the context of the
global economic crisis and of the role of corporate social
responsibility. A suite of extensive online ancillaries for both
students and lecturers, including author videos, case studies, lecture
notes, and free access to specially selected journal articles related
to each chapter. There is only one definitive guide to economic
globalization for the social sciences: and that′s Peter Dicken′s
Global Shift.
