"Wehave been waiting for a book that would investigate the full impact ofglobalization on the social sciences and humanities. Here it is." --Boaventurade Sousa Santos, author of Epistemologies of the South: Justiceagainst Epistemicide
 
"More than a manual of methodologies, this innovative book is a reflectionon the emerging field of Global Studies--what it is, what it can do, and how itcan do it. It's an important book, one that will be widely used and discussed.It provides pathways for research for anyone working on issues related to ourincreasingly global milieu."--Mark Juergensmeyer, editor of ThinkingGlobally: A Global Studies Reader
 
"Globalization respects no borders--between countries or betweendisciplines. This book will be greatly valued by researchers and students forits clear, comprehensive overview of concepts and methods in a field ofchallenging diversity." --Ulf Hannerz, Professor, Stockholm University,and author of Writing Future Worlds
 
"Sets a new standard for linking theory, case studies, and research designin the study of global processes. The theoretical overview is wide-ranging andaccessible, the extended case studies are vivid and timely, and thepresentation of research methods and design will be of great value to bothteachers and students." --Arjun Appadurai, Paulette Goddard Professor ofMedia, Culture, and Communication, New York University
 
"The authors take on the heroic--and ambitious--task of giving definitionto an emerging field of inquiry, one whose rise tolls the history of thepresent in a critically important way. They bring to it an entirely freshperspective, simultaneously laying out a theoretical framework, amethodological prospectus, and, most of all, a promise to decenter knowledgeproduction from its received, often sterile, hegemonic centers." --JohnComaroff , Hugh K. Foster Professor of African and African American Studies andof Anthropology, Harvard University
 
"A stunning example of transdisciplinary scholarship. Drawing on theirlong experience in global studies, the authors show how no academic disciplinehas remained untouched by the transformations of our global age. It providesstudents and scholars with a brilliant introduction to transdisciplinaryscholarship." --Thomas Duve, Director, Max Planck Institute for EuropeanLegal History
 
"An important step in the transformation of Global Studies from apluridisciplinary field of inquiry to a self-confident approach in its ownright." --Matthias Middell, Professor, Global and European StudiesInstitute, University of Leipzig
 
"A field defining text that invites ongoing critical thinking on itsglobal context. It succeeds at presenting Global Studies in a way that givesthe field coherence and methodological meaning at the same time that itpreserves opportunities for open-ended transdisciplinary exploration andinnovation." --Matt Sparke, Director of Integrated Social Sciences,University of Washington, Seattle
 
"Scholars of Global Studies have been striving to define the field. Thisbook is a great contribution to these efforts. It constructs a comprehensivetheoretical framework, research design, and methodology of GlobalStudies." --Guo Chang-gang, Director, Center for Global Studies,Shanghai University
 
"Reflects the intellectual excitement of Global Studies. The authors showthat this timely field is not characterized by a set disciplinary canon, butthat at its core, it is driven by a search for fresh perspectives, alternativeimaginaries, and new questions. A must-read for students and scholars who arethinking and working globally."--Dominic Sachsenmaier, Professor,Department of Sinology and Department of History, University of Gottingen 

Darian-Smith and McCarty have given us a major new contribution tothe study of the global. Among the core elements are the negotiating ofmultiple forms of knowledge, decentering the production of global knowledge,and recognizing non-western epistemologies. This is a must read. --Saskia Sassen, author of Expulsions: Brutality and Complexityin the Global Economy
 
Erudite and accessible, this book offers a masterful delineation of the growingtransdisciplinary field of Global Studies. Most importantly, Darian-Smith andMcCarty's path-breaking presentation of the theories, methods, and trainingrelevant to Global Studies provides both students and scholars with a clearsense of what it means to engage in global research. This is an indispensableguide to a better understanding of the new forms of global interdependence thatshape our fast-paced world in the 21stcentury.--Manfred B. Steger, Professor of Sociology, University ofHawai'i-Manoa & Honorary Professor of Global Studies, RMIT University(Melbourne).
