  • Globalization Matters Manfred B
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-47079-7 — Globalization Matters Manfred B. Steger , Paul James Frontmatter More Information Globalization Matters At the turn of the twenty-first century, globalization—both the process and the idea—bestrode the world like a colossus. Widely acclaimed by political and economic pundits as the most important phenomenon of our time, it took the world by storm. Two decades later, it has come under sustained attack from the reinvigorated forces of the extreme right and radical left. Does globalization still matter in our unsettled world? Responding in the affirmative, this study develops and applies a new framework of an engaged theory of globalization to analyse some of today’s most pressing global challenges: the rise of national popu- lism; ecological degradation; rapid urbanization; new sources of inse- curity; and the changing landscape of higher education. Offering a comprehensive appraisal of globalization in our unsettled times, this study addresses why and how trans-planetary interrelations con- tinuetomatterinaworldthatiswaveringbetweenglobalistexpansion and nationalist retrenchment. Manfred B. Steger is Professor of Sociology at the University of Hawai’i at Mā noa and Global Professorial Fellow of the Institute of Culture and Society at Western Sydney University. He has served as an academic consultant on globalization for the US State Department and is an author or editor of 27 books on globalization, social and political theory, and nonviolence, including The Rise of the Global Imaginary: Political Ideologies from the French Revolution to the Global War on Terror (2008), Justice Globalism: Ideology, Crises, Policy (2013), and Globalization: A Very Short Introduction (2017). Paul James is Professor of Globalization and Cultural Diversity at Western Sydney University, where he is Director of the Institute for Culture and Society.

  • Glocalization and Everyday Life
    GLOCALIZATION AND EVERYDAY LIFE EDITORIAL UGO DESSÌ University of Vienna (Austria) [email protected] FRANCISCU SEDDA University of Cagliari (Italy) [email protected] About thirty years after its introduction into the academic debate, the idea of glocalization continues to be acknowledged as a source of inspiration by many scholars across disciplinary boundaries. Within the social sciences and humanities, the most enduring influence remains the formulation of the glocal first presented by Roland Robertson in the early 1990s (Robertson 1995). However, as reminded by Robertson himself, the impli- cations of glocality have also been discussed by scholars oper- ating in different disciplinary fields – the geographer Erik Swyngedouw (1992, 2004) – and within alternative theoretical and conceptual frameworks (e.g. Appadurai 1996; Hannerz 1996). At the general level, there would seem to be at present a large consensus on one of the conceptual premises upon which the discussion of the glocal was originally based, that is, the identification of the binary global-local as a relational and inter- pretive frame not objectifiable in terms of the simple opposi- tion/tension between two spatial dimensions. From our per- spective, too, this is probably the most productive way of using the glocal to interpret dynamics of social change in a globalizing context characterized by increasing interconnectedness. Continuing in this direction, it should therefore be empha- sized that the “global” and the “local” are defined in a recipro- cal, positional way

By postcolonialism we understand modes of writing and artistic production that critically engage with and contest the legacy and continuing mindset and practices of colonialism, and inform debate about the processes of globalization. This manifests itself in a concern with difference from the Euro-American, the global, and the norm. The series is also committed to publishing works that seek “to make a difference,” both in the academy and outside it. our hope is that books in the series will • engage with contemporary issues and problems relating to colonialism and postcolonialism • attempt to reach a broad constituency of readers • address

  • China's Rise: East Asia and Beyond
    China’s Rise: East Asia and Beyond* Peter J. Katzenstein1 We are, it appears, in the midst of another celebratory cycle. Impatient journalists declare a particular decade, especially this one, as the moment in which one particular country will remake a world region, indeed the entire world, in its own image. Based on its meteoric economic rise and riding what eventually turned into a financial bubble, Japan in the 1980s was widely greeted as a challenger which would come to rival the U.S. as a global power in the 21st century. Pax Nipponica was to be shaped by a civilian power that was destined to determine the technological trajectory of most societies. The i-pod as the successor of the walkman and a Scott as head of SONY illustrate how wrongheaded this world view really was. A decade later, the same thinking was applied to the United States. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, in the era of globalization America offered a model to the world that appeared to have no rival. With some hyperbole the United States was called the New Rome. Pax Americana was to reign for decades, if not centuries. Within a decade America’s high-tech and low-mortgage speculative bubbles burst; America’s deficits and debt burdens mounted; and the arrogance and ignorance that informed American foreign policy under the Bush administration produced huge political train-wrecks in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan. Brief as it may be, and with India waiting in the wings, now is the moment to celebrate or fear the Chinese economic juggernaut and a looming Pax Sinica.

    Journal of Policy and Development Studies (JPDS) Vol. 11, No. 1, February 2017 ISSN: 1597-9385 Home page: www.arabianjbmr.com/JPDS_index.php GLOBALIZATION, ALTERITY AND THE LOCAL: RECONSTRUCTING AND DECONSTRUCTING AFRICANITY Sulaimon Olanrewaju Pan-Atlantic University, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos Abstract The reality is a construction. The reality of Africa is being continuously constructed by non-Africans despite the flatness of the world preached by globalization. The West continues to portray Africa as the home of underdevelopment, poverty, diseases and corruption while overlooking the successes recorded by the continent. This paper traces the genesis of this perception, its development over the years and recommends solutions to the malaise. Keywords: Africa, Globalization, Alterity, Underdevelopment Introduction In the not too distant past, the talk was about the world becoming a village. But that is already here. The world is already a village because many parts of the world are connected and happenings in one part of the world are registered immediately in other parts of the world. This is globalization. Athletic competitions, civil unrest, World Bank meetings, presidential inaugurations and calamities are beamed across the world either as they happen or shortly after they commence. In the same vein, commerce has no boundaries anymore. Cross-border business interactions go on in various parts of the world round the clock. There are many people who live in one country and work for organizations that are domiciled in another with communications and interactions carried out in real time. Technology, ease of payment and improved learning have all collaborated to effect the reduction of the earth with a surface area of 510,072,000 km² into a small village.

  • Globalization: a Very Short Introduction by Manfred Steger
    Globalization: A Very Short Introduction By Manfred Steger Questions for Thought and Discussion How do recent news stories portray globalization? Which dimension of globalization is least discussed in the public discourse and why? What is the difference between the ‘global imaginary’ and ‘globalization’? How are these two concepts connected? In addition to the 2010 Soccer World Cup, which other major sport events illustrate global-local dynamics that constitute globalization? Can you find three clear example of cultural hybridity involving global-local dynamics? In what ways is the contemporary age (starting in the 1980s) different from previous periods of globalization? How has the growing power of transnational corporations affected national governments in the US and UK? Are ‘global crises’ like the global financial crisis or the global climate crisis inevitable by-products of globalization? Is ‘global governance’ a utopian dream or a feasible option to be realized in this century? Why does globalization sometimes strengthen the forces of nationalism? How has cultural globalization affected your immediate environment and circle of friends? Does the development of digital technology reduce or enhance global inequality? What is the evidence for the assertion that the ideological struggle between market globalism and justice globalism has intensified in recent years? Do what extent does US President Barack Obama personify globalization dynamics? What would be the benefits or drawbacks of subjecting global markets to global regulation? Why are ‘global cities’ an excellent terrain for the study of globalization? What is the most likely future trajectory of globalization and why? Other books by Manfred Steger Globalisms: The Great Ideological Struggle of the 21st Century 3rd Ed.

  • Urban Sustainability in Theory and Practice by Prof
    ADVANCES IN URBAN SUSTAINABILITY SERIES Urban Sustainability in Theory and Practice Circles of sustainability Paul James URBAN SUSTAINABILITY IN THEORY AND PRACTICE Urban Sustainability in Theory and Practice responds to the crises of sustainability in the world today by going back to basics. It makes four major contributions to thinking about and acting upon cities. It provides a means of reflexively learning about urban sustainability in the process of working practically for positive social development and projected change. It challenges the usually taken-for-granted nature of sustain-ability practices while providing tools for modifying those practices. It emphasizes the necessity of a holistic and integrated understanding of urban life. Finally it rewrites existing dominant understandings of the social whole, such as the Triple Bottom Line approach, that reduce environmental questions to externalities and social questions to background issues. The book is a much-needed practical and conceptual guide for rethinking urban engagement. Covering the full range of sustainability domains and bridging discourses aimed at academics and practitioners, this is an essential read for all those study- ing, researching and working in urban geography, sustainability assessment, urban planning, urban sociology and politics, sustainable development and environmental studies. Paul James is Professor of Globalization and Cultural Diversity in the Institute for Culture and Society, University of Western Sydney, Australia.
