Globalization and Identity - Development and Integration in a Changing World

Informationen zum Autor Alan Carling is Honorary Research Fellow in Sociology at the University of Bradford. Klappentext This book explores some of the key debates connected with equality and identity in the context of increasing globalization. The contributors acknowledge that the economic! cultural! psychological and political dimensions of globalization are each distinctively important but argue that issues of cultural recognition must always be considered alongside issues of economic distribution. Among the topics discussed are the integration of immigrant populations into the structures of state and civil society; the tension between claims of citizenship and the demands of identity; children's rights and child labor in a global context; and aspects of gender and civil society. Zusammenfassung Globalization is often perceived as a single universal process leading ultimately to global equality and global democracy. This book argues that globalisation is far more complex, a fact reflected in a range of key problems, centred on issues of equality and identity, facing peoples and governments around the world.
