A fine contribution to making sense out of global studies and the fog of globalization. - Christopher Chase-Dunn, Professor of Sociology, University of California, Riverside, USA This engagingly written and well structured book is an excellent text, and will allow students to navigate the diverse set of agendas and arguments surrounding Global Studies. - Ray Kiely, Professor of International Politics, Queen Mary University of London, UK The book presents theories and concepts associated with global studies in both a rigorous and systematic way. For high level undergraduate global studies courses I cannot think of a book that would be more suitable as a prescribed text. - Vaughan Higgins, Lecturer in Sociology, Charles Sturt University, Australia This is a well-written and well-structured book that makes complex theoretical perspectives manageable for undergraduate students. - Richard Black, Head of School of Global Studies, University of Sussex, UK Theorizing Global Studies is an excellent book for both undergraduate and graduate courses in Global Studies. All the major theoretical frames, concepts and issues are addressed, and the book provides an excellent resource for readers on the many different theoretical perspectives on globality, globalization and globalism. - Richard Harris, Professor Emeritus of Global Studies, California State University Monterey Bay, USA
