This essay elaborates the terms of our central argument about the current intensification of global disjunctures. We introduce a crucial dimension of our engaged theory of globalization that can usefully be brought to the fore to understand these cleavages and tensions. The essay scrutinizes two key conjunctures, comparing the current Global Covid Crisis with the 2008–2009 Global Financial Crisis. It concludes that massive disjunctures in the way we live locally and globally have had incongruous effects on the global-local nexus, but without leading to positive transformation. Rather, they are both expressions of a longer-term transformation we have been calling the Great Unsettling. Without reflexive counter-practices, the most likely mid-term prognosis for the world is an intensification of tensions and disjunctures that are leading to a further thickening of this complex dynamic
