Globalization is a multi-dimensional concept; not only does it encompass the ever-increasing integration of the world's economic systems (both in terms of trade and movement of capital), but it also has social, educational and even environmental dimensions which are all inter-related. While globalization presents many opportunities, there are also challenges and costs, and many people are concerned about the effect of globalization on the world's poorer nations.
This book presents a number of chapters describing the impact of globalization on various human activities around the world, for example the education system in India, sport in Asia, and manufacturing in the south-eastern states of the US. Other subjects covered include foreign direct investment, sustainable development, tourism, globalization and ethnic identity/culture.
The broad scope of this book means that it will be of interest to students and researchers across a range of disciplines in economics, politics and the social sciences, as well as stakeholders and practitioners in fields such as sustainable development.
