4.9/5 (33851 ratings)

Description:The globalization of politics, economics, culture, and other social systems are creating challenges and opportunities for families throughout the world. Yet, those who study families are often unfamiliar with the theories and research on globalization. Global Families provides an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of globalization, and then examines the ways in which globalization impinges on families throughout the world in four major areas: demographic transitions, transnational employment, international violence, and world-wide culture. The book concludes with a discussion of supra-national policies and other efforts to position families in this global landscape. Meg Wilkes Karraker, Ph.D., is Professor and Chair of Sociology and Criminal Justice and Director of Family Studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA where she teaches courses in sociology on families, as well as adolescence, global gender, sociological theory, and social problems (in Italy). Her scholarly interests focus on the impact of social structure on life chances and opportunities, including the quality of life for adolescent girls, single mothers, and, most recently, Irish families. She is the author (with Janet R. Grochowski) of Families with Futures: A Survey of Family Studies for the Twenty-First Century (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2006). Karraker is also President-elect of Alpha Kappa Delta, the international sociology honor society. Volume II in the Series, Families in the 21st Century Susan J.
