The Age of Knowledge brings together critical sociologists from around the globe in order to shed light upon the transformation of knowledge within different social structures. The authors emphasise that the transformation of knowledge must be understood within the context of these structures and their constraints. They argue that the process of globalisation has revealed many new challenges and unleashed a new political economy of knowledge, and therefore researchers, scholars and institutions must realise the contexts in which knowledge transformation takes place.
