Emerging Frontiers in the Global Economy brings together authors from across the social sciences to address contemporary topics that have 1) have come into being because of or 2) that have been substantially changed as a result of globalization. While many of these subjects are relatively new—intellectual property in an international marketplace or the rise of the global services industry—others engage well-known themes like poverty and governance that take on new dimensions in light of the global economy.

Though they may be rooted in a home discipline, all books in this series are written accessibly for readers in other fields of study; this series provides an interdisciplinary venue for discussions about how our world is sculpted by economic globalization.
