Böcker av Frank J. (Emory University Lechner

Written in a lively and accessible style, Globalization: The Making of World Society shows how globalization affects everyday experience, creates new institutions, and presents new challenges. With many examples, Lechner describes how the process unfolds in a wide range of fields, from sports and media to law and religion.

Along with providing a broad overview of the contemporary Netherlands, this book focuses on how globalization is generating various discourses, cultures, and state policies. It features chapters on soccer culture, religion (and the lack thereof), the media, the welfare state, multiculturalism, and the Netherlands place in the European Union.
