Globalization studies tend to be dominated by accounts of political conflict or economic expansion, but accounts of world culture gained traction in the 1990s and have coalesced around four general approaches: (1) world culture as an ideology constructed by powerful, hegemonic actors; (2) world culture as a web of international norms that are used to pursue rational self‐interest; (3) world culture as an ontological framework that defines appropriate action, identities, and purpose; and (4) world culture as diverse reactions to, and adaptations of, global flows and connections. In the process of summarizing each approach, the example of human rights – a prominent feature of contemporary world culture – is used to highlight their key differences
