"It just keeps getting better. This latest edition of
Global Shift is the best yet. The new material has added substantially to a book that was already the first destination for those who wanted a balanced view of the global economy and its geography. If there were a word beyond definitive, then that would be the word I would use here."--Professor Nigel Thrift, School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol, UK
"
Global Shift shatters our easy slogans about globalization, corporations, and nations with bold new insights--modern economies are complex networks of productive processes that are both local and global, technology acts as a 'great growling engine of change,' corporations and governments form clusters of conflict and cooperation at the micro, meso, and macro levels. Peter Dicken has created a powerful conceptual framework not to be missed by those who hope to grasp the logic of this emerging global order."--William E. Halal, School of Business and Public Management, George Washington University
"Dicken identifies states and transnational corporations as the two key actors in the multiple processes of restructuring and institutionalization that we usually call the global economy. In so doing, he has written a political economy of globalization and produced a far more comprehensive account than is typically the case in books about the global economy, most of which tend to confine the analysis to firms and markets."--Saskia Sassen, Ralph Lewis Professor of Sociology, The University of Chicago
"In these uncertain times, it is reassuring to have Peter Dicken as our guide to the world economy. No other commentator has his eye equally attuned to both the big picture of global corporations and capital flows, and the fascinating stories of local places, people, and industries. In this new edition of
Global Shift, Dicken shows us once again why he has become one of the most respected social scientists studying the world of global business and economy."--Meric Gertler, Department of Geography, University of Toronto, Canada
