Hi,

In light of the increasing discussion of globalization, I thought the
following may be of interest.

I co-edited (with Miguel Centeno) a special issue of the American
Behavioral Scientist on Mapping Globalization that came out this summer.
In addition to discussing the significance and consequences of
globalization, we offer a different road map for _measuring_ it.  The
articles in the special issue are based on an empirical investigation of
globalization.  With all the theoretical discussions of the topic, we
thought it important to see what actual data show us about the phenomenon.

A short version of our Intro chapter was reprinted in the Australian
Online Opinion which did a special feature on globalization last month,
the piece is available here:

Thanks, as always, for the great IP feed.
