This book is ideal for social science and humanities students, academics, and researchers interested in global studies, interdisciplinary research methods, and those seeking to understand and engage with global-scale issues from multiple interconnected perspectives.

Description

The ability to deploy interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives that speak to interconnected global dimensions is critical if one’s work is to be relevant and applicable to the emerging global-scale issues of our time. The Global Turn is a guide for students and scholars across all areas of the social sciences and humanities who wish to embark on global-studies research projects.

The authors demonstrate how the global can be studied from a local perspective and vice versa. They show how global processes manifest at multiple levels—transnational, regional, national, and local—all of which are interconnected and mutually constitutive.

This book takes readers through the steps of thinking like a global scholar in theoretical, methodological, and practical terms, and it explains the implications of global perspectives for research design.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Anthropological Forum highlights the book's systematic approach to addressing the challenges of formulating research questions and conducting global research. New Global Studies recommends it as a must-read for researchers, noting its foundational arguments and clear step-by-step guidance.
