冷戦の終結や新自由主義の跋扈といった現代世界の激動期かつノスタルジーの対象ともなっている80年代とは何だったのか？政治、経済、社会、文化にまたがるグローバルな視座から論じる全30章。The Routledge Handbook of the Global 1980s brings together specialists from across the world to examine how the decade was shaped by enormous global changes to politics, economics, culture, societies, and protest movements. The handbook is divided into five sections focusing on the global environment, globalisation and neoliberalism, politics and society, culture and society, and the closing stages of the global Cold War.
