A tribute to Professor Tareq Ismael
Globalization – everything, everywhere, all the time
Is globalization still a proper descriptor? Does globalization also include satellites and space shuttles in outer space? Recent work widens the definition of globalization: ‘Globalization is the trend of greater worldwide connectivity of people over time and the awareness of this happening.’ This shift of emphasis to connectivity as the driving force and the key point, implies that globalization is just one of the many forms this takes. Importan…
Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan
Parallels between the Afghanistan and Iraq wars include phony victories (bought from local forces), phony aims and claims (train the Afghan army, secure women’s rights, rebuild Iraq), shifts of alliances (allies become outcasts), creating ‘homeless Sunnis’ (who later join the IS). If we view Iraq and Afghanistan on a wider canvas alongside Pakistan, do wider parallels emerge? The Iraq and Afghanistan wars are profoundly tragic, but are they excep…
Fadi Lama
According to Fadi Lama, the major US financial funds, BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, T Row Price, control the American health sector, including pharmaceuticals and pharmacies.Between 1968 and 2020 healthcare expenditures in the US increased by 787% while median household income increased by just 27% (p.71).'As a percentage of GDP healthcare expenditures increased from 5% in 1960 to 20% by 2020' (p.69), an exorbitant rise in the cost of living…

Learning from Covid
Covid data show that wealth is not health. What then are the major variables that affect public health in the Covid–19 pandemic? Based on onsite research in 26 countries across the world this paper singles out three variables – knowledge, state capability and social cooperation. If one of these is dysfunctional or absent Covid–19 performance suffers. The variables work best in combination. Under consideration are three phases of Covid–19 – virus …

Global Culture, 1990, 2020
Here I reflect on the main themes of Global Culture, Nationalism, Globalization and Modernity. On these themes, where are we 30 years later? I sidestep the fine print of the 1990 conversations and share notes in brief format on where I have come to in the decades that have passed. I round off with notes on the 2020 conjuncture
What Do People Want
Should a discussion of populism be concerned with populism, along with revulsion of its various extremisms, or should it rather be concerned with the failure of institutions and the misbehavior of elites in a world in which eight billionaires own as much as half the world population? The former option will yield a totally different and probably somewhat more predictable discussion than the latter, which may include “from bad to worse.” A third op…
Globalization as Hybridization
Cultural hybridization refers to the mixing of Asian, African, American, European cultures: hybridization is the making of global culture as a global melange. The very process of hybridization shows the difference to be relative and, with a slight shift of perspective, the relationship can also be described in terms of an affirmation of similarity. Hybridization as a perspective belongs to the fluid end of relations between cultures: the mixing o…

Hybridity
Cut‐'n'‐mix experiences in consumption, lifestyles, and identities are common, for example in food and menus. “Hybridity” refers to the mixing of phenomena that are held to be different, separate.
What happened to the Miracle Eight? Looking East in the twenty-first century
All developing countries have been “looking East” since the rise of the Asian tigers, especially South Korea and Taiwan. The designation of the Southeast Asian economies as “tiger cubs” implies the question: can would-be tigers become tigers? Against the background of both oriental globalisation and China's effect on the region, this article compares trends in Northeast and Southeast Asia in agriculture, industry and services. State and political…
China’s contingencies and globalisation
Will China be able to rebalance its economy, heavily tilted towards investment? Will it be able to increase the share of household consumption in GDP? Will it turn steeply growing social inequality around? Will urbanisation contribute to China’s rebalancing or will it add to the imbalances? Will China manage to bring pollution under control? Such variables will determine whether China can move beyond the middle-income trap and also affect its ext…
Globalisation and the Roman World
This book explores a new perspective for understanding the Roman world, using connectivity as a major point of departure. Globalisation is apparent in increased flows of objects, people and ideas and in the creation of translocal consciousness in everyday life. Based on these criteria, there is a case for globalisation in the ancient Roman world. Essential for anyone interested in Romanisation, this volume provides the first sustained critical ex…
Global Studies
This second response to comments on my article ‘What is Global studies?’ (Globalizations 10, 4, 2013) notes that the comments feature research agendas. These provide scaffolding for global studies but not of course a complete building. Among themes that need further attention are political economy and finance, the dimension of time and history, and the dynamics of twenty-first century globalization and the role of emerging economies

What is Global Studies
This discussion examines global studies and whether and how it differs from the earlier wave of globalization studies. Although treatments generally regard these as equivalent, studies of globalization are anchored in social science and humanities disciplines while global studies are, in principle, conceived on a different footing. We can distinguish two accounts of global studies: an empirical account, i.e. a description of actual existing globa…

Twenty-First Century Globalization
The article argues that twenty-first century globalization is markedly different from twentieth century globalization and reviews the major changes. The discussion focuses on the portée of these changes for development policies and notes three trends: new industrializing countries in the global South have become drivers of the world economy; the agency of development shifts from metropolitan institutions to developing countries; and the pendulum …
Leaking Superpower
While US government agencies endorse and support the democratic potential of the internet and social media overseas, the criticisms of the WikiLeaks disclosures of US diplomatic cables reveal the bias in relation to transparency and democracy. This poses a wider problem of connectivity combined with hegemony. This paper discusses what the criticisms of the WikiLeaks disclosures reveal. After discussing the enthusiasm about ‘hyper-connectivity’, t…
After post-development
Along with 'anti-development' and 'beyond development', post-development is a radical reaction to the dilemmas of development. Post-development focuses on the underlying premises and motives of development; what sets it apart from other critical approaches is that it rejects development. The question is whether this is a tenable and fruitful position. Taken up first in this article are major overt positions of post-development-the problematisatio…
Hybridity, So What
Take just about any exercise in social mapping and it is the hybrids, those that straddle categories, that are missing. Take most arrangements of multiculturalism and it is the hybrids that are not counted, not accommodated. So what? This article is about the recognition of hybridity, in-betweenness. The first section discusses the varieties of hybridity and the widening range of phenomena to which the term now applies. According to anti-hybridit…

Globalisation as Hybridisation
Globalisation is usually interpreted as a process of homogenisation, but considering that there are multiple globalisation processes at work this is hardly adequate. Globalisation is also often tied up with modernity, which in effect equates globalisation with Westernisation, which is historically shallow and analytically narrow. This paper argues instead for viewing globalisation as hybridisation: structural hybridisation, or the emergence of ne…
My Paradigm or Yours? Alternative Development, Post-Development, Reflexive Development
Alternative development has been concerned with alternative practices of development-participatory and people-centred-and with redefining the goals of development. Mainstream development has gradually been moving away from the preoccupation with economic growth toward a people-centred definition of development, for instance in human development. This raises the question in what way alternative development remains distinguishable from mainstream d…
Multiculturalism and Museums
L'A. se demande en quoi les musees revelent et mobilisent, dans la periode actuelle de globalisation, certains types de discours sur les «autres». Il souligne que le processus de globalisation induit l'emergence d'un certain multiculturalisme. Il s'efforce d'identifier les differents types d'exposition et de strategies d'exposition au 19 e siecle et au 20 e siecle. Il analyse la notion de multiculturalisme ainsi que le rapport entre le moi et l'a…

Global Rebalancing
This article argues that the rise of emerging societies is a major turn in globalization and holds significant emancipatory potential. North-South relations have been dominant for 200 years and now an East-South turn is taking shape. The 2008 economic crisis is part of a global rebalancing process. Ongoing developments can be read in two ways: towards recalibrating the old order, or towards the emergence of new logics, which can be simplified as …
Emancipatory Cosmopolitanism
This contribution explores what, in outline, an agenda of emancipatory cosmopolitanism would consist of. The first step in this treatment is to scrutinize capitalist cosmopolitanism as the dominant variant of cosmopolitanism. Understanding its influence is crucial to the task of counterbalancing it. The second section concerns the strange double life of conventional cosmopolitanism, which, while claiming universality, reflects a regional, parochi…
Neoliberal Empire
If neoliberal globalization was a regime of American economic unilateralism, has this been succeeded by or combined with political and military unilateralism? This discussion probes the emerging features of a hybrid formation of neoliberal empire; a mélange of political-military and economic unilateralism, an attempt to merge geopolitics with the aims and techniques of neoliberalism. This is examined in relation to government, privatization, trad…
Deconstructing/Reconstructing Ethnicity
Ethnicity is here viewed as a continuum, varying widely in terms of salience, intensity and meaning, along which several types of ethnicity can be distinguished.Domination ethnicityis where a nation imposes monocultural control – it can be regarded as a form of ethnicity.Enclosure ethnicityhas three variants – dormant ethnicity, cultural confinement, and inward‐looking ethnicity.Competition ethnicitycompetes over resources of the state and develo…
Globalization North and South
The buzzword is globalization and the key problem is uneven development. Perceptions and representations of globalization are profoundly different in North and South. Existing analytics - such as dependency, imperialism, exclusion and conspiracy theories - are not adequate for dealing with uneven globalization. There are profound differences between globalization and imperialism. Although a sense of powerlessness and frustration is common to both…

Sociology of Humanitarian Intervention
Among the key problems of “humanitarian intervention” in international law and international relations are the dynamics of sovereignty and the question of selectivity in intervention. The causes of conflict in the major cases of “humanitarian intervention,” former Yugoslavia, Somalia and Rwanda, are discussed under several headings: the end of the cold war; economics and scapegoating; ethnic politics?; media war; external influences; and politics…
Dilemmas of Development Discourse
Developmentalism, or the theory of linear progress, has taken several forms - evolutionism, modernization theory, development thinking - which correlate with different epochs of western hegemony. The comparative method serves as its underpinnings in theoretically incorporating non-western societies into the developmental paradigm. Developmentalism is universalist and ahistorical, teleological and ethnocentric. A discourse of power, it is presente…

Global inequality
Data on contemporary global inequality are dramatic, widely known and a new conventional backdrop. In research and policy economists lead the way and the emphasis is on global poverty rather than inequality. Within nations poverty is a challenge, while inequality is not; on a world scale, arguably it is the other way round. The international policy focus on poverty alleviation coexists with neoliberal policies that widen inequality domestically a…

Globalization, kitsch and conflict
How does globalization affect the politics of conflict and security? This treatment concentrates on three themes: technology, geopolitics of globalization and asymmetric conflict. Focusing on technology serves to shift the attention from globalization events to the infrastructure of globalization, which is shaped by parallel changes in technologies of work, war and politics. Considering violence means zeroing in on the dark side of globalization:…

A Critique of World System Theory
Contemporary social science needs to formulate a world sociology, and with regard to this problematic, world system theory occupies an important place. At an earlier stage world system theory has been criticised for overemphasising the world market while neglecting forces and relations of production. The present critique focuses on conceptual dimensions of world system theory and on the relationship between its conceptual structure and the way it…

Fukuyama, Liberal Democracy and the New World Order
Fukuyama's thesis of the end of history evoked a great deal of attention because it seemed to provide the ideological foundation for a new round of US hegemony, the ideological gloss for a new American assertiveness. The mood in US debates at the time had been pessimistic, while global political realities, in particular the weakening of the Soviet Union, provided opportunities for a new American assertiveness. Setting forth an ideological stance …

Fukuyama and liberal democracy
Fukuyama'a work has had an uneven reception - dismissed as lightweight and applauded by American conservatives and part of the British left. His work is remarkable for the combination of national security concerns with Big Questions, but underneath the Hegelian gloss it is a conventional restatement of American belief in liberal democracy. Liberal democracy therefore is the focus of this inquiry. First the argument of Fukuyama's essay is compared…
