Riassunto:

The wholly rewritten third edition of this widely acclaimed text continues to offer the most comprehensive and up-to-date description of how the global economy works today. Moving beyond globalization hype, Dicken carefully introduces students to the economic, political, and technological processes that are creating global shifts in economic activity and affecting local communities in highly uneven ways. Like the previous editions, the book focuses on the
interrelated actions of transnational corporations (imbedded within intricate business networks) and states (which act as containers, regulators, and competitors) within a volatile technological environment. Several entirely new chapters are included, and all chapters are revised to reflect the latest available data and theoretical debates. Of special utility are detailed case studies of key global industries and more than 200 fully updated figures and tables.
