Reviews
The book's seven chapters respond to the problem that no single discipline has all the tools and theories to grapple adequately with today's globalised issues. Thus, how is an individual researcher 'to develop appropriate research questions and design a viable research project?'. And how does a researcher 'begin the formidable task of doing global research?'. The Global Turn provides a reader with a methodical, considered, and accessible response to these questions. * Anthropological Forum * The Global Turn can be read as a manifesto of global studies; why it is important, and why one should study it, and why universities and academic establishments must embrace it. The authors provide forceful arguments on behalf of global studies, a transdisciplinary program that overcomes the limitations of traditional discipline based academic subjects. * International Sociology Reviews *
