Basque Pathways to Globalization (London: Elsevier, 2006), examines the impact of globalization in the Basque Country and provides both a new theory of globalization and a detailed analysis of the main challenges facing the Basque region in our global era. In praising Professor del Cerro's book, leading American urbanist Janet Abu-Lughod comments that "this well-documented case study makes a vital contribution to global city studies." Professor Diane Davis from Architecture and Planning at MIT notes that "this book's appreciation for history and the complexities of scale make it one of the more sophisticated studies of globalization available today."
