Discussion:
The globalization debates
http://www.sociology.emory.edu/globalization/debates.html
Globalization is a contentious process. Ever
since the term was first used to make sense of
large-scale changes, scholars have debated its
meaning and use. As the term became a globally
popular buzzword, it served to crystallize disagreements
about the direction of change in the world at
large. By the end of the twentieth century, the
meaning and merits of globalization were contested
in the media and in the streets. Intellectual
debate blended with political conflict. In the
years to come, debates and conflicts surrounding
globalization will increasingly affect the processes
captured by the term.
The main debates:
- Meaning: Process vs. Project
- Interpretation: New Era vs. Nothing New
- Evaluation: Good vs. Bad
- Explanation: "Hard" vs. "Soft"
- Political: End vs. Revival of Nation-State
- Cultural: Sameness vs. Difference

The Globalization
Website
http://www.sociology.emory.edu/globalization/about.html
This website welcomes anyone interested in globalization — students
taking courses on the subject, scholars engaged
in research, members of groups involved in global
activism, and the general public. It has three
sets of goals:
- Globalization is the defining phenomenon
of the turn of the century. The term expresses
a widely shared awareness that the globe
as a whole is undergoing major change. This
website aims to shed light on the process
and contribute to discussions of its consequences.
- Globalization is also a popular buzzword;
the notion that it is a cliché has
itself become a cliché. Yet it is
a focus of increasingly heated contention
about the direction and impact of global
change. This site aims to explain its meanings
and clarify the debates surrounding it.
- Globalization has become the subject of
a rapidly expanding literature. Many organizations
provide data and resources of interest to
students of globalization. This site aims
to serve as a guide to the social scientific
literature and other available resources.
