ReviewsA wide-ranging, significant contribution Gran Therborn Professor of Sociology, Cambridge University According to Turner and Khondker, globalization is an all-encompassing process by which humanity has entered a qualitatively distinct civilizational stage. Their [this] book offers a comprehensive, systematic and powerful account of the new world we are facing and will serve as an essential basis for scholarly innovations urgently required in all social sciences. This is a highly revealing yet balanced analysis of globalization that will intellectually enrich both academic and general readers Professor Chang Kyung-Sup Seoul National University A lively, well-informed, and accessible guide through the dynamics and complexities of globalization. This volume shows why sociology rather than economics offers more powerful and far more subtle ways of understanding global trends and global crises Robert Holton Professor of Sociology at Trinity College, Dublin Challenges the idea that globalisation is the same as Westernisation, imperialism or Americanisation. The direction of global processes is always changing, but crucially this is not a one-way street. Far too little attention has been paid to the fact that the influence of Asian culture on the West is at least as great as, if not more so, in the first decade of the 21st century as that of the West on the East Ken Smith, Senior Lecturer in Criminology, Bucks New University Times Higher Education (THE), A wide-ranging, significant contribution Goeran Therborn Professor of Sociology, Cambridge University According to Turner and Khondker, globalization is an all-encompassing process by which humanity has entered a qualitatively distinct civilizational stage.
