Social and Cultural Foundations in Global Studies is an outstanding introductory text that captures the dynamic and exciting field of global studies. Stoddard and Collins explain the evolution of the interdisciplinary field and its core concepts in ways that are accessible and theoretically sophisticated. The book draws upon engaging, compelling case studies to illustrate how social and cultural processes are connected to political and economic processes. This book should be required reading for anyone who is pursuing education in order to become a global citizen.

Sita Ranchod-Nilsson , Emory University

Ive reviewed countless global studies textbooks for a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary approach for the next wave of global studies. Social and Cultural Foundations in Global Studies is a text I can use because students will read and engage. Eve Stoddard and John Collins offer an innovative approach to social and cultural processes and critical debates on globalization that undergraduates immediately recognize. This is a book that will generate lively debate in the classroom. I am eager to use it.

Kathryn Poethig , California State University-Monterey Bay

Eve Stoddard and John Collins have written the accessible and resource-rich introductory text on global studies epistemology, theories, and methods that many of us have been awaiting. They provide a clear overview of the emergent field of global studies and make a compelling case for understanding multi-scale and multi-dimensional aspects of globalization. Most crucially, they demonstrate, through telling case studies, the promise of a global studies approach to analyzing contemporary sociocultural phenomena.

Contents

Social and Cultural Foundations of Global Studies provides an innovative introductory examination of the concepts, processes, and manifestations of globalization, seen particularly through social and cultural lenses. Along with its companion, Political and Economic Foundations of Global Studies , the book is meant to expose students to ways of analyzing the globalizing forces shaping their world. As in the rest of Routledges Global Studies seriesincluding The Regional Landscape and Issues in Global Studies the Foundations books employ a straightforward two-part strategy: conceptual and theoretical underpin nings explored in the first part are enlivened by case studies in the second part. The rationale is simple: explore theory and then see it in action.

Outline of the Book

Part One: Background, Theories, and Contexts opens with a comprehensive investigation of the field of global studies , including its history as an interdisciplinary mode of inquiry and the distinct approaches used in the field to examine the complex, dynamic realities of globalization. This is followed by an exploration of the history of globalization , weaving in pre-contemporary antecedents, along with different viewpoints to present a multifaceted picture of how cultural connections in todays world are historically rooted. The third chapter then focuses explicitly on the globalization of culture from an examination of the term culture to aspects and contexts of global processes at work today, such as imperialism, diasporas, and creolization.

Throughout the chapters in Part One, the interrelationship among disciplines is emphasized, as is the fact that the social and cultural lenses used to examine global phenomena cannot be completely separated from the political and economic approachesa caution also noted in the companion volume. Indeed the distribution of political and economic strength influences the development of cultural and social relations in ways hard to disentangleand vice versa.
