About the Book

Globalization: The Reader is an essential compilation that explores the most crucial issue shaping our world today — globalization. Edited by John Beynon, this comprehensive volume offers a rich collection of over 100 extracts from leading global thinkers on society, culture, media, technology, and political economy.

Structured to guide readers through the complexities of globalization, the book begins with a well-rounded introduction that traces its historical evolution and presents key contemporary debates, concepts, and theoretical frameworks. As we enter the so-called "global century," the control of media and culture has become central to global power struggles, and this book dives deep into how these dynamics affect all aspects of human life.

From communication and commerce to identity and resistance, Globalization: The Reader examines how global media and market forces are reshaping culture, altering how we relate to time, space, and each other. This book is ideal for students, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the far-reaching effects of globalization.
