Recensioner i media

No other book concerned with economic globalization was able to match earlier editions in either breadth or empirical richness, but this latest Global Shift 7e is a book whose time has truly come. Coined by Peter Dicken in the mid 1980s, the idea of a ‘global shift’ has now been propelled into wider circulation as the world grapples with the reality of a maturing Asian and other BRICs economies, and this latest edition is beyond authoritative in terms of its empirical depth and insight into this issue.

  1. 1/5 Anna

    Boken var skriven på ganska svårbegriplig engelska om man inte är vad vid ekonomiska termer. Författaren krånglar till mycket i onödan och det kändes som mycket fakta var orelevant och endast utfyllnadsmaterial.
