Overview

Contemplating globalisation from a sociological perspective, it is without doubt that a major site for social, political, economic and cultural change in the new millennium lies in the Asian region. The chapters in this book seek to describe and analyse a number of key aspects of social and cultural change wrought by globalisation in the Asian region. The underlying theme in the book is the multi-dimensional way in which globalisation - in the form of ideas, practices and technology - have introduced social inequalities in specific contexts. In particular, the book examines how inequality has been reproduced, challenged and theorised in Asia by the advent of globalising culture. Written by experienced and established scholars, the study provides both theoretical explanation, and discussion and analysis of empirical data, from a range of social, cultural and political-economic perspectives and draws on studies from several countries in the region.
