The Encyclopedia of Global Studies lends definition to growing field of study while at the same time offering students and scholars a firm foundation on which to build serious research. It is unique in that it gives the reader a global, transnational perspective on a wide diversity of topics ranging from abortion to gender identity to outsourcing to waste management, as well as on broader concepts like civil society and social capital. It is an obvious choice for academics libraries that support transnational and global studies programs.
