Eve Darian-Smith is Professor and former Chair in Global Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara. Her award-winning publications include Religion, Race, Rights: Landmarks in the History of Modern Anglo-American Law and Laws and Societies in Global Contexts: Contemporary Approaches. Philip C. McCarty is Lecturer in Global Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara. His recent publications include Integrated Perspectives in Global Studies, "Communicating Global Perspectives" in Global Europe: Basel Papers on Europe in a Global Perspective and "Globalizing Legal History" in Rechtsgeschichte.

"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."
