Globalization and Inequality in Emerging Societies (Frontiers of Globalization)

0/5 ( ratings)

The aim of this volume is to study inequality by linking Global and Area Studies. Discourses on inequality usually tend to focus on two issues: inequality within nation states and inequality on a global scale. As far as nation states are concerned, traditional research has dealt with industrialized Western countries, while recently the great emerging powers of China, India, Brazil and South Africa have shifted into the focus of attention. As far as global inequality is concerned, research has either ranked countries or tried to aim at something like a global social structure. Recent attempts at the analysis of global and national inequality have revealed their close interdependence as well as a rapid increase in complexity. There are huge local imbalances within nation states, important transnational structures, influential institutions beyond the nation states, tendencies of region-building and shifting hubs of economic activities. They can neither be analyzed merely from a global perspective nor from a regional perspective. Therefore, each chapter addresses inequality in an empirical setting linking it to globalization, and contributes to the development of a new theory of inequality beyond the nation state and beyond Eurocentrism.
