Description
Global Social Problems by Victor George and Robert M. Page provides an original introduction to global social problems and their emergence as a global policy response. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, many social issues that were once confined to national borders are now affecting people globally. The book explores eight key global social problems, including environmental degradation, international poverty, crime, AIDS, family violence, racism, and migration, through expert analysis by leading researchers in their fields. It also examines the implications of these developments for global social policy. With its accessible style and suggestions for further reading, this textbook is an essential resource for undergraduate students studying social policy, sociology, and politics.
