Book by Lechner Frank J Boli John

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Lechner and Boli′s scholarship is extensive, theoretical, abstract and synthetic ... The authors engage in conceptual and theoretical refinement and synthesis of existing scholarship and extend that intellectual frontier with their own substantial contributions. Lechner and Boli ... deserve special commendation for the rich and illuminating historical context and examples." Choice

"Lechner and Boli have done their homework and the compendium they offer is valuable in itself."
The International History Review

"This volume provides a fascinating, and immensely broad–ranging, call to understand the complex inter–relationships between geopolitical forces and those resilient urban lives. Whilst as a source of multiple departures it should be of interest to an equally broad ranging audience, for those particularly curious about the often–neglected ways in which extreme ideologies seek to construct and reconstruct understandings of cities there is much to consider." Andrew Inch, Oxford Brookes University

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book explores the development, content, and impact of world culture. Combining several of the most fruitful theoretical perspectives on world culture, including the world polity approach and globalization theory, the book gives a historical treatment of the development of world culture and assesses the complex impact of world culture on people, organizations, and societies. This is a provocative, synthetic, and grounded interpretation of world culture that is essential for any student or scholar of globalization and world affairs.

• Traces world culture back from the mid–19th century to the present day
• Includes numerous illustrations of key issues and empirical research
• Written in lively, accessible language for the student and general scholar
