Globalization: The Greatest Hits, a Global Studies Reader

by Manfred B. Steger

Ideal for both undergraduate and graduate courses, The Greatest Hits, a Global Studies Reader covers all major dimensions of the economics, politics, and culture. The premier scholar of globalization studies, Manfred B. Steger, has brought together the "greatest hits"
of the field since it emerged in the 1980s. In addition to carefully selecting and editing twenty of the most influential pieces on globalization out of a vast repertoire of writing, Steger provides an original and insightful introduction that spotlights the gist of these gems while also showing how
they build on one another thematically. Manageable in length and price, this "Top 20" collection shows how globalization has evolved and how it serves as a backdrop to the current global economic crisis.
