Globalization and Spatial Mobilities

Commodities and People, Capital, Information and Technology

Aharon Kellerman, University of Haifa, Israel

Presenting a comparative examination of five major voluntary global movements: commodities, people, capital, information and technology, this book traces and develops discussions of globalization and spatial mobility. The book further covers the means and media used for these mobilities: ports and ships, airports and airplanes, international banking electronic media, and the Internet, telephony and TV. Two concluding chapters focus on the mobile globe, highlighting present and future global mobility in general, and the relationships among the five global mobilities, in particular.

“这is an impressive grand sweeping book about the globalization and spatial mobility of people, capital, information and technology. It requires a great scholar such as Kellerman to bring such wide-ranging topics together in a single book.’
