causes and consequences of a globalizing world.
Bringing the discussion right up to date, the new edition
includes an increased emphasis on the rise of China, the
aftermath of the financial crisis and austerity, the benefits of
migration and open borders, and the changing structure of global
inequality. Data and literature have been updated throughout the
book, with new sections on global cities, the environment and
international protests, and expanded discussion of gender.
Martell argues that globalization offers many opportunities for
greater interaction and participation in societies throughout the
world, for instance through the media and migration, but also has
dark sides such as conflict, global poverty, climate change and
economic insecurity.
