"The Sociology of Globalization is a masterful synthesis of the complex interaction of all the major dimensions of the vast subject of globalization. Luke Martell's exhaustive text is very well written, chock full of highly useful information, and does an impressive job of presenting the key debates on globalization. It will be particularly instructive to an American audience in offering fresh analysis, including excellent analysis of the United States' role in globalization."
Ken Cunningham, Pennsylvania State University

"Globalization has become a central concept for understanding contemporary social processes and global crises. Martell has written an extremely lucid and comprehensive sociology of globalization that offers a welcome focus on political and economic issues whilst encompassing its cultural dimension. This book enriches our critical understanding of globalization."
Larry Ray, University of Kent
