English | ISBN: 1788210964 | 2020 | 224 pages | EPUB | 406 KB
Ray Kiely examines the conservative discourse of "winners" and "losers" of globalization that has emerged since the financial crisis and which has been used to reflect real and imagined threats to domestic economies and national identity. Both the election of Donald Trump and the UK's Brexit vote are potent examples of the success of this conservative (anti-)globalization rhetoric, which has informed popular mantras of deregulation and economic nationalism.

Boris Holzer, Fatima Kastner, Tobias Werron, "From Globalization to World Society: Neo-Institutional and Systems-Theoretical Perspectives"
English | 2014 | pages: 348 | ISBN: 1138776904, 1138291404 | PDF | 1,5 mb
Since the 1970s, various sociological approaches have tried to understand and conceptualize "the global," yet few of them have systematically addressed the full spectrum of social relationships. Prominent exponents of the global approach - such as world systems analysis - instead have focused on particular domains such as politics or the economy. Under the label of "world society," however, some authors have suggested alternatives to the predominant equivocation of society and the nation-state. The contributions to this volume share that objective and take their point of departure from the two most ambitious projects of a theory of world society: world polity research and systems theory, mapping out the common ground and assessing their potential to inform empirical analyses of globalization.

Grounding Globalization: Labour in the Age of Insecurity By Edward Webster, Rob Lambert, Andries Bezuidenhout(auth.), Noel Castree(eds.)
2008 | 275 Pages | ISBN: 140512914X | PDF | 4 MB
*Winner of the 2009 Distinguished Scholarly Monograph Prize, awarded by the American Sociological Association Labor and Labor Movements section* Claims have been made on the emergence of a new labour internationalism in response to the growing insecurity created by globalization. However, when persons face conditions of insecurity they often turn inwards. The book contains a warning and a sign of hope. Some workers become fatalistic, even xenophobic. Others are attempting to globalize their own struggles. Examines the claim that a new labour internationalism is emerging by grounding the book in evidence, rather than assertion Analyzes three distinct places - Orange, Australia; Changwon, South Korea; and Ezakheni, South Africa - and how they dealt with manufacturing plants undergoing restructuring Explores worker responses to rising levels of insecurity and examines preconditions for the emergence of counter-movements to such insecurities Highlights the significance of 'place' and 'scale', and demonstrates how the restructuring of multi-national corporations, and worker responses to this, connect the two concepts Content: Chapter 1 The Polanyi Problem and the Problem with Polanyi (pages 1-21): Chapter 2 Manufacturing Matters (pages 27-50): Chapter 3 The Return of Market Despotism (pages 51-77): Chapter 4 Citizenship Matters (pages 78-103): Chapter 5 Strong Winds in Ezakheni (pages 109-126): Chapter 6 Escaping Social Death in Changwon (pages 127-140): Chapter 7 Squeezing Orange (pages 141-156): Chapter 8 History Matters (pages 161-185): Chapter 9 Grounding Labour Internationalism (pages 186-211): Chapter 10 The Necessity for Utopian Thinking (pages 212-227):

Tyler Cowen, "Creative Destruction: How Globalization Is Changing the World's Cultures"
Engilsh | 2009 | ISBN: 0691090165, 0691117837 | 193 pages | EPUB | 1.3 MB
A Frenchman rents a Hollywood movie. A Thai schoolgirl mimics Madonna. Saddam Hussein chooses Frank Sinatra's "My Way" as the theme song for his fifty-fourth birthday. It is a commonplace that globalization is subverting local culture. But is it helping as much as it hurts? In this strikingly original treatment of a fiercely debated issue, Tyler Cowen makes a bold new case for a more sympathetic understanding of cross-cultural trade. Creative Destruction brings not stale suppositions but an economist's eye to bear on an age-old question: Are market exchange and aesthetic quality friends or foes? On the whole, argues Cowen in clear and vigorous prose, they are friends. Cultural "destruction" breeds not artistic demise but diversity.

Tyler Andrew Barrett, "Critical Inquiries in the Sociolinguistics of Globalization (Encounters, 14) "
English | ISBN: 1788922840 | 2019 | 363 pages | EPUB | 1322 KB
The studies in this collection seek to examine the notions of 'linguistic diversity' and 'hybridity' through the lenses of new critical theories and theoretical frameworks embedded within the broader discussion of the sociolinguistics of globalization. The chapters include critical inquiries into online/offline languages in society, language users, language learners and language teachers who may operate 'between' languages and are faced with decisions to navigate, negotiate and invent or re-invent languages, local and global and virtual spaces. The research took place in contexts that include linguistic landscapes, schools, classrooms, neighborhoods and virtual spaces of Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, South Korea and the USA.

Through Thin and Thick (Globalization and Human Rights)
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108478247 | 347 Pages | PDF | 3 MB
The book launches with examples, concrete cases, or political confrontations to explain how to conceive the safeguards at stake. It portrays these as embodying principles requiring particular actions and the implementation of policies. For instance, free speech demands permitting seemingly offensive expression plus promoting a diverse and open public debate. The work scrutinizes specific guaranties, such as those pertaining to asylum, citizenship, abortion, due process, self-determination, or the environment. It presents them as engendering problems peculiar to them. Next, the discussion dissects how precepts, like human rights and democracy, may contingently clash despite their overall commensurability. Finally, it underscores the interconnection of negative, substantive, and national entitlements with their positive, procedural, and international counterparts. Throughout, ruminations on the following questions unfold: How may courts and governments respectively contribute to actualizing the liberties at issue? How do these bear upon social justice? How may ideologically opposed states nonetheless collaborate on them?
