Emphasizing the theory and methods that social scientists employ to study globalization, the text reveals how macro globalization processes impact individual livesfrom the spread of scientific discourse to which jobs are more or less likely to be offshored.

Compelling chapters on theory, global civil society, democracy, cities, religion, institutions (sports, education, and health care), along with three chapters on global challenges, help readers develop a broad understanding of key topics and issues.
