'Globalization' has become one of the defining buzzwords of our time - a term that describes a variety of accelerating economic, political, cultural, ideological, and environmental processes that are rapidly altering our experience of the world. It is by its nature a dynamic topic - and this Very Short Introduction has been fully updated for 2009, to include developments in global politics, the impact of terrorism, and environmental issues. Presenting globalization in accessible language as a multifaceted process encompassing global, regional, and local aspects of social life, Manfred B. Steger looks at its causes and effects, examines whether it is a new phenomenon, and explores the question of whether, ultimately, globalization is a good or a bad thing.

En unos pocos capítulos perfectamente divididos en diferentes secciones, se explican los inicios y las consecuencias de la era de la globalización desde el punto de vista histórico, económico, social, etc. Es un libro que, si se lee con atención, servirá para entender mejor otros textos, documentales o incluso muchas noticias de actualidad.
