�Based on an interdisciplinary approach drawing on economic and
political power as well as culture and social spheres, The
Sociology of Globalization provides an excellent overview of key
themes and major debates related to global restructuring.
Comprehensive in its conceptual coverage and broad in its empirical
focus, this book is a must read for advanced undergraduates,
postgraduates and academics in Sociology, Economics and Politics
alike.�
Andreas Bieler, University of Nottingham
�Luke Martell provides students and scholars with a rich analysis
of the features, causes and consequences of globalization. Martell
draws attention to the power, inequality and conflict that are
inherent in contemporary globalization. The author draws on a range
of disciplinary perspectives, offering the reader a nuanced
sociological perspective that is informed as well by politics and
economics.�
