Globalization/Anti-globalization

Held, David, McGrew, Anthony · London School of Economics and Political Science Research Online (London School of Economics and Political Science) · 2002

What is globalization? Why is it the source of such intense controversy? Is it creating a more disorderly world or can globalization be tamed? In the aftermath of September 11th, these questions have acquired a new and even greater sense of urgency.<br/>This short book provides a key to understanding one of the most important intellectual and political debates of our times. The authors interrogate the evidence about globalization and assess global trends. Issues of governance, culture, the economy, patterns of inequality and global ethics are discussed in relation to the contending claims and counterclaims of the principal positions in the globalization debate: the globalizers and anti-globalizers. Held and McGrew reflect on the central questions of political life posed by the great globalization debate, namely: who rules, in whose interests, to what ends, and by what means? They conclude by proposing a new political agenda for the twenty-first century – a global covenant of cosmopolitan social democracy.<br/>This book is an excellent guide for all those intrigued, confused or simply baffled by globalization and its impact.

Globalization and alter-globalization

Carmen Marcuello Servós, Anjel Errasti, Ignacio Bretos · Edward Elgar Publishing eBooks · 2023

Globalization is an extremely complex phenomenon, both from a theoretical-conceptual and practical point of view, and has received the attention of a multitude of research from various disciplines. The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) is one of the most comprehensive proposals for the development of alternatives that address the problems caused by globalization. It also has the potential to address future challenges by prioritizing the needs of the people and the environment in economic decision making. This entry, first, analyzes the impact of globalization on local communities and economic relations and secondly illustrates how historical dynamics have influenced the viability of globalization. Finally, this entry will explain how the consequences of these historical dynamics have given rise to alternative approaches to globalization and economy, such as alter-globalization and the Social and Solidarity Economy.

Globalization and post-globalization

Terry Flew · 2020

Globalization is a concept with deep roots in communication and media scholarship. Definitions of globalization generally refer to its relationship to changes in consciousness and experience that arise from access to global communication technologies. In considering the significance of globalization in the field of digital media and communication studies, three issues present themselves as being of fundamental importance. The question thus arises about the extent to which the questions surrounding media globalization are fundamentally transformed by the Internet environment. The key questions here are whether globalization and the Internet are working in tandem to weaken the power and capacities of nation-states, and whether they are transforming the global political economy away from a historic system of states. In the field of international relations, some have argued that globalization and the Internet point in the direction of a 'new medievalism' in world affairs, fundamentally challenging nation-state sovereignty.

Globalization after De-globalization

William Milberg, Thomas Liess, Michael Tedesco · Social research · 2024

ABSTRACT: Globalization began in the late 1970s, shifted into "hyperglobalization" in the first decade of the twenty-first century, hit "peak globalization" around 2011, and has in the past 10 years given way to "de-globalization," characterized by nationalism and protectionism. The rules of globalization were built on a theory of competitive markets, while the world was in fact riven with growing asymmetries of power and a strong policy bias toward capital. This bias must be eliminated if the global economy is to become more democratic and sustainable as we emerge from this moment of de-globalization.

Periodizing Globalization: Histories of Globalization

Jan Nederveen Pieterse · New Global Studies · 2012

Abstract The article outlines the analytics and criteria that inform periodizing globalization. It criticizes presentist and Eurocentric views on globalization, the contemporary view, the modernity view (1800 plus) or the capitalism view (1500 plus). It discusses approaches to world history and how globalization fits in. Understandings of globalization, such as multicentric and centrist perspectives, and units of analysis affect how timelines of globalization are established. Taking into account global history going back to the Bronze Age and oriental globalization, these require inserting the Greco-Roman world as part of globalization history. It concludes by outlining phases of globalization in the (very) longue durée.

Globalization

Felicity Amaya Schaeffer · The International Encyclopedia of Human Sexuality · 2015

The global movement of people around the world for new economic opportunities, business, trade, and travel has been fueled by, and creates, new sexual intimacies and economies. These contact zones rely heavily on sexualized imaginaries that reproduce colonial fantasies. These fantasies are produced by states to attract commerce, capital, and labor, while many in the global South rely on the sexualized fantasies produced in Euro‐America to eek out a living, or to imagine more rewarding futures.
