The Global Age by Martin Albrow
Many authors who discuss the idea of globalization see it as continuing pre--established paths of development of modern societies. Post--modernist writers, by contrast, have lost sight of the importance of historical narrative altogether. Martin Albrow argues that neither group is able to recognize the new era which stares us in the face.
'This book deserves particular attentionMartin Albrow's interdisciplinary account of contemporary social change offers provocative insight into the conditions of modernity, globality and the relationships between them. He is sweeping epochal history with profundity. The book is also a joy to read: erudition is presented with engaging eloquence and exemplary lucidity, exceptionally innovative, if your library reserves but a small shelf for works on globalization, this book should be on it.' International Affairs
'Thoughtful, historically well-informed, clearly and indeed elegantly written, this is the book that everyone should read.' Political Studies
'Albrow's thesis is a very interesting one.' Millennium
