| TITLE |
| GLOBAL FAMILIES: FAMILIES IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY |
|
| ABSTRACT |
| This book aims to call for the inclusion of globalisation as a critical tool for analysing families and the family institution. After providing an introduction to the theories and research on globalization, the book examines the ways globalisation is creating challenges and opportunities for families throughout the world. The major areas investigated in the analysis are: demographic transitions, transnational employment, international violence and world-wide culture. A discussion about supranational policies and other efforts to position families in this global landscape is presented in the conclusion. || |
