The book's competitive advantages include its reasonable price, convenient size, and the fact that it's been compiled by such a world-renowned expert on the processes and ideologies of globalization."--Roberto E. Campo, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro"I would certainly use The Global Studies Reader. The level of scholarship is second to none. This book provides the in-depth analysis that is essential to exposing undergraduates to contending issues and events in international studies."--Chris Dolan, Lebanon Valley College, "The Global Studies Reader, Second Edition, is a highly convenient one-stop shop for many of the seminal articles in the field.
