Rezensionen

'...[this] book provides much - and generally, delectable - food for thought.' Andreas Musolff, Durham University, Discourse& Society

'The volume represents a valuable contribution to both globalisation studies and the analysis of metaphors in general, as its multidisciplinary design allows for adequately dealing with the heterogeneity of globalisation.' Millennium - Journal of International Studies
