Glocalization: a critical introduction

Summary
This volume seeks to provide a critical introduction to the under-theorized concept of Glocalization. Historically theorists have intertwined the concepts of the 'global' and the 'glocal' or have subsumed the 'glocal' under other concepts - such as cosmopolitanization. Moreover, theorists have failed to give 'local' due attention in their theorizing. Victor Roudometof argues that the terms 'global', the 'local' and the 'glocal' are in need of unambiguous and theoretically and methodologically sound definitions.
This book provides a critical introduction to the under-theorized concept of Glocalization. Structured in two parts: Part I introduces 'glocalization', providing a history and critical assessment of theorists' past use of glocalization and offering an alternative perspective and a clear, effective, and applicable definition of the term, explaining the limitations of the term globalization and the value of defining glocalization. Part II illustrates how the concept of glocalization can be used to broaden our understanding and analysis of a wide range of issues in world politics including the twenty-first-century culture of consumption, transnationalism and cosmopolitanism, nationalism, and religious traditions. It is essential reading for students and scholars of globalization and will be of great interest to those in the fields, of global, transnational, and cosmopolitan studies. --
