ReviewsEve Stoddard and John Collins have written the accessible and resource-rich introductory text on global studies epistemology, theories, and methods that many of us have been awaiting. In Social and Cultural Foundations of Global Studies , they provide a clear overview of the emergent interdisciplinary (or transdisciplinary) field of global studies and make a compelling case for understanding multi-scale and multi-dimensional aspects of globalization. Most crucially, they demonstrate, through telling case studies, the promise of a global studies approach to analyzing contemporary sociocultural phenomena. Verne A. Dusenbery, Hamline University, Social and Cultural Foundations in Global Studiesis an outstanding introductory text that captures the dynamic and exciting field of global studies. Stoddard and Collins explain the evolution of the interdisciplinary field and its core concepts in ways that are accessible and theoretically sophisticated. The book draws upon engaging, compelling case studies to connect social and cultural processes to politics and economics. This book should be required reading for anyone who is pursuing education in order to become a global citizen. Sita Ranchod-Nilsson , Emory University I've reviewed countless textbooks for a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary approach for the next wave of global studies. Social and Cultural Foundations in Global Studies is a text I can use because students will read and engage. Eve Stoddard and John Collins offer an innovative approach to social and cultural processes and critical debates on globalization that undergraduates immediately recognize. This is a book that will generate lively debate in the classroom. I am eager to use it.

SynopsisFrom the Foundations in Global Studies series, this text offers students a fresh, comprehensive, multidisciplinary entry point to the study of the social and cultural aspects of global studies. After a brief introduction to global studies, the early chapters of the book survey the key concepts and processes of globalization as well as a critical look at the meaning and role globalization. Students are guided through the material with relevant maps, resource boxes, and text boxes that support and guide further independent exploration of the topics at hand. The second half of the book features interdisciplinary case studies, each of which focuses on a specific issue.
