"This is, quite simply, a fantastic bookIt intelligently and comprehensively covers the key academic debates around globalization, and is one of the few texts that finds the right balance between academic rigor and undergraduate accessibility." - Salvatore Babones, Senior Lecturer in Sociology and Social Policy, The University of Sydney, Australia 'The revised text is very impressive, fully brought up to date and should be invaluable to students. There is no other book that deals with the issue so well or in comparable detail. This is a well-balanced, well-organized text, written in a very student-friendly way.' - Chris Rumford, Professor in Political Sociology and Global Politics, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK "Globalization and the Nation State is a well-written and clearly structured book with introductions into the history of globalisation, global economy, global polity, global public sphere and culture. The book navigates the reader through key themes associated with globalisation, including cities, civil society organisations, multinational enterprises, long-distance trade, global production networks, kin-based chain migrations, global civilisation, poly-ethnicity, supranational regulatory bodies and institutions, global webs and interconnectivity, multi-centred global field and hybridisation. Because of its didactic qualities, the book can be recommended as a textbook for courses in the field of global studies." - Laszlio Maracz, University of Amsterdam in Nations and Nationalism 19 (1), 2013
