Katona, K.--Arva. L. -- Schlett, A. (2013): Stages of Globalisation. Publisher: Kaligram, Praha (original) (raw)

Defining Globalisation is not easy, though it seems to be a simple notion widely used in the past decades. Although this wide usage is the very reason for the difficulty of defining Globalisation, as different authors have applied this notion to very different phenomena. Instead of giving new definitions for the Globalisation, the Authors of this book have started from the famous concept of the "Global Village" of Marshall McLuhan, and then have continued the presentation of different aspects of Globalisation. The book follows largely the logic of the American scholar, Suzanne Berger, who some years ago has written a book entitled: Notre premier Mondialisation (Our First Globalisation), comparing the Globalisation tendencies of the 19th century with those of our days. The authors of the book are convinced that Globalisation is not a unique phenomena, but already there were at least three wages of Globalisation, with serious draw-backs between. Who know how our present Globalisation will continue?
