The Palgrave Handbook of Global Social Problems
Baikady, Rajendra; Sajid, S.M; Przeperski, Jaroslaw; Nadesan, Varoshini; Islam, M. Rezaul; Gao, Jianguo
Countries across the world are facing issues such as poverty, climate change, population ageing, issues related to immigration, migration, COVID-19 and intergenerational historic trauma, mental illness and rising income inequality. The established world order and global dominance of the Western-centric development agenda and modernity and the unequal distribution of world’s resources have created tremendous problems for many people living in global as well as local communities, both in developed and developing countries.
This major reference work handbook discusses global social problems across social, political, economic and geographical boundaries. By bringing together contributions that approach social problems at different levels of society (local, regional, national, transnational, or at the macro, meso and micro levels), it considers them as globally interconnected and mediated by new geopolitical and market logics.
This volume showcases new approaches to social problems, it is multidisciplinary in its approach and thematically organised.
