In this major new textbook, Vic George and Robert Page provide anoriginal and much-needed introduction to global social problems andthe emergence of a global social policy response.
In an increasingly globalized world, it is inevitable that many ofthe social problems which have so far been seen as national incharacter will assume a global character. Global social problemsare those which cannot be confined within national boundaries andwhich need both national and international attention if they are tobe ameliorated. Pollution of the atmosphere is a stark example ofthis process. Global Social Problems begins with a discussion ofthe contested concept of globalization. Then eight of the mostimportant global social problems are explored and explained byleading experts in environmental degration, international poverty,crime, AIDS, drugs, family violence, racism and migration. The bookalso includes chapter which explores the global social policyimplications of these developments.
With suggestions for further reading and accessible style, thisbook will be essential reading for undergraduate students in thesocial science, particularly those studying social policy,sociology and politics.
