Abstract

"Cosmopolitanism is currently one of the most prominent topics in the social sciences and humanities, and a key concept for understanding globalization. This collection of essays, featuring a line-up of leading international scholars, argues that most work on cosmopolitanism uses a normative model, rather than fully interrogating the issue empirically, comparatively and globally. This ambitious and ground-breaking collection will push the boundaries of the debate on cosmopolitanism into new areas, opening up new lines of inquiry and analysis that will have an impact on the study of globalization and global process for years to come."--Publisher's website.

Abstract

"This lively textbook integrates theory and methodology into the study of social movements, and includes contemporary case studies to engage students and encourage them to apply theories critically. A wide range of protest cases are explored, from American, European and global arenas, including contemporary examples of political violence and terrorism, alter-globalisation, social networking and global activism. Key chapter features encourage students to engage critically with the material: method points uncover the methodology behind the theories, helping students to understand the larger study of social movements; debate points highlight classic arguments in social movement studies, encouraging students to critically assess theoretical approaches; and case studies connect theories to cases, allowing students to relate key principles to real-world examples. A companion website offers additional student and instructor resources, including lecture slides and worksheets"--

Abstract

"Sociologist Saskia Sassen focuses on the importance of place, scale, and the meaning of the national to the study of globalization. By emphasizing the interplay between the global and the local, A Sociology of Globalization introduces readers to new and increasingly common forms and conditions such as global cities, transnational communities, and commodity chains. Sassen's expanded approach to globalization offers new interpretive and analytic tools to understand the complex ideas of global interdependence."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

Globalization has been the topic of heated debate in recent years, with one side asserting that it will produce a better standard of living for people around the world, and a fierce opposition arguing that it will ultimately lead to greater poverty and the destruction of unique human cultures. Varieties of World Making tackles the issue from a different angle, proposing that the contemporary global network of business, politics and culture be viewed from the inter-disciplinary perspective of 'world making'. Drawn from the ranks of sociology, law, international relations, political philosophy and history, the distinguished contributors cut through polarized rhetoric to examine the current global situation. Their proposed diagnoses draw upon thoughtful analyses of various political dilemmas whose ripple effects are felt around the world, such as the volatile relationship between Islam and Europe, or the legal foundations for a true international order absent in the shadows of imperialism. Varieties of World Making will be an essential resource for all those grappling with the complex consequences of globalization for the future.

Abstract

"In this book, Anthony Elliott and Charles Lemert explore the culture of the 'new individualism' generated by global capitalism, and develop a major new perspective on people's emotional experiences of globalization." "The New Individualism offers fascinating, but disturbing, accounts of people struggling to cope with a new individualism reshaping the world today. There is Larry, a high-tech executive 'emotionally wrecked by success'; there is Ruth, a married woman in her late fifties, typing real-time erotica in cyberspace; there is Norman, a recovering drug addict infected with HIV, reinventing himself by accepting the deadly worlds for what they are; and Caoimhe and Annie, two little girls only beginning to explore the disorientating effects of the new individualism."--Jacket.

Abstract

Pour cohabiter pacifiquement malgré les différences, il faut commencer par appréhender l'altérité, la comprendre sur plusieurs plans : philosophique, culturel, religieux, etc. Le présent volume veut illustrer ces différents angles d'approche. Il s'attache à décrire les enjeux et les obstacles de la cohabitation culturelle à l'heure de la mondialisation. Si l'on veut lutter contre l'intolérance, il faut comprendre que la cohabitation culturelle est devenue l'enjeu majeur du xxie siècle.
