Globalization and social change / Sanjeev Mahajan.

"Globalization is a reality which pervades the world today. Recent past years have witnessed rapid and complex global changes-economic, social, political, cultural and technological-that have greatly influenced almost every aspect of human life. The book provides insights about globalization and its impact in terms of social change on different countries like China, Nigeria, Slovenia, Netherlands and India. Though, it is very early to evaluate the impact of this process, the articles included in the book do provide valuable information about these countries in the backdrop of conceptual and theoretical issues. It is useful for all those students, social scientists and policy-makers who are interested in analyzing social change in the light of this unstoppable process of globalization."--
