A core introduction to Sociology that puts global issues at the heart of its discussion. From recessions and revolutions to social media and migration, this third edition is fully updated to explore just how these issues can help us to understand the role of Sociology in our world today. With clear writing and infectious enthusiasm for its topic, it evaluates the connections between everyday experiences and larger processes.
Combining discussion of global challenges with an emphasis on critical thinking, this lively text offers an engaging introduction, ideally suited for first-year Sociology modules. In addition, it can be used as a standalone text on more specialised modules on Globalisation, or as complimentary reading on courses dealing with issues such as Work, Class and Gender, Race, Crime or Leisure from a global perspective.

Just think for a moment of the ‘global events’ that are changing the world: 9/11, the financial crisis, climate change, Fukushima, the Arab Spring. They all came by total surprise, which means they are beyond our normal sociological categories and global in their scope and implications. That’s the reason why students and professors of sociology more than ever need the information in and inspiration from Global Sociology. – Ulrich Beck, University of Munich, Germany
From the slums of Brazil to the internet cafes of Iran, this book guides the reader through the complex, turbulent but endlessly fascinating terrain of a globalizing world. Elegantly written, rich in examples, very up to date and astonishingly comprehensive, it is the best possible introduction to the social scientific study of globalization. – David Inglis, University of Aberdeen, UK
This remarkably comprehensive textbook makes a convincing case for the study of sociology from a global perspective. Showing that globalization is indeed a powerful force in the contemporary world, the authors incorporate concrete global issues in their accessible presentation of changing social relations. – Manfred B. Steger, RMIT University, Australia, and University of Hawai’i-Manoa, USA
