SOC146 Sociology of Globalisation Lecture 2 1 March 2006

What is globalisation? G is a multidimensional set of social processes It is impossible to confine these various processes to a single thematic framework G is connected with and influences the economic, political, cultural, technological and ecological dimensions of contemporary social life

How to study globalisation? The so-called ‘globalisation studies’ represent a new field that cuts across traditional disciplinary boundaries => interdisciplinarity G is not only an objective process for us to study; it is the buzzword of our time: ‘everybody is talking about it’, everyone has some sort of opinion on it

Provisional course outline Lecture Introduction to the course Lecture 21.3.Everyday experiences of G; ‘glocalisation’; G =homogenisation (Westernisation)?* Lecture 38.3.Is globalisation new?P Lecture Interdisciplinary character of G studies I: theories of globalisationP Lecture Interdisciplinary character of G studies II: defining globalisationP no class! Lecture 65.4.G and governance I: demise of the ‘nation-state’? (reading week)P Lecture G and governance II: transnationalism; supraterritorialisation; INGOs, IGOsP no class! (instead of reading week) Lecture Economic G: is G ‘good’ or ‘bad’?P Lecture 93.5.Political G: INGOs; environmental politics, women’s movement…P Lecture Cultural G: the media; Americanisation?*; cultural homogenisation (cf. Lecture 2)P Lecture G & fundamentalism: terrorism; the role of Islam; ‘clash of civilisations’P Lecture Antiglobalisation movements, global civil society? (environmentalism, INGOs, trafficking…) ??

Experiencing globalisation G is a variety of changing economic, political, cultural, ideological and environmental processes As such, it has an indirect or direct influence on all of us (even though nobody experiences its entire complexity) “G is real to almost everyone.” How does G restructure your daily life?

Experiencing globalisation G transforms our sense of time and space G challenges our identities Are our experiences of G a one-way process? What is the relation between the global and the local? There is no one experience of G – it affects us all in various ways and we respond to it differently.

“McDonald’s in Hong Kong” Excerpt from Golden Arches East: McDonald’s in East Asia. James L. Watson, 1997 How introduction of a transnational company influences or changes the local customs Globalism versus local culture?

Busy streets of Hong Kong

“McDonald’s in Hong Kong” Hong Kong is culturally very heterogeneous In Hong Kong the transnational is the local Cultural differences and adapting to change Acceptance of transnational ‘global’ formula but with ‘localizing’ adaptations Local identity is not lost, but it is becoming redefined

Big Mac imperialism? Most commonly listed representatives of the global corporate hegemony: Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, KFC, Nike, Pepsi… 9 of the top 10 global brands were American in 2001 America, its foreign policy and its corporate brands seem like one thing

McDonald’s A closer look at McDonald’s: Fact: McDonald’s franchises around the world are predominantly locally owned: “We are a confederation of very local companies.” (McDonald’s spokesman) But: many people don’t believe that – to them, McDonald’s is the American symbol! McDonald’s tries to appeal to local taste and customs - country specifics (McFelafel, Maharaja Mac…)
