Held and McGrew's Global Transformations

Held and McGrew's Global Transformations describe the shift in the world's economic, political, and cultural landscape due to globalization. They argue that globalization creates interconnectedness and interdependence among nations, leading to significant changes in national sovereignty, economic power, and cultural identities. This process results in both opportunities, like increased trade and collaboration, and challenges, such as inequality and cultural homogenization. Essentially, they view globalization as a complex, ongoing transformation shaping how societies operate and interact on a worldwide scale.
