About this book
A stimulating appraisal of a crucial contemporary theme, this comprehensive analysis of globalizaton offers a distinctively cultural perspective on the social theory of the contemporary world.
This perspective considers the world as a whole, going beyond conventional distinctions between the global and the local and between the universal and the particular. Its cultural approach emphasizes the political and economic significance of shifting conceptions of, and forms of participation in, an increasingly compressed world. At the same time the book shows why culture has become a globally contested issue - why, for example, competing conceptions of ?world order? have political and economic consequences.

GLOBALIZATION
AND
THE
NOSTALGIC

I
am
grateful
to
Chang
Wang-Ho
for
pointing
this
out
to
me,
as
well
as
for
his
continuing
interest
in
the
theme
of
globalization.
4.
I
have
in
Chapter
4
tended
to
classify
Meyer
as
a
'world-systems
revisionist'
and
that
indeed
has
been
one
of
his
roles
-
to
bring
a
cultural
perspective,
particularly
a
political-
cultural
perspective,
to
bear
on
Wallersteinian
world-systems
theory.
On
the
other
hand,
his
own
modifications
of
world-systems
theory
must
be
considered
as
but
an
aspect
of
his
relatively
autonomous
Mnstitutionalist'
theory.
For
a
significant
application
of
the
latter,
see
Thomas
(1989).
One
of
my
major
differences
with
the
'institutionalists,'
whose
position
must
be
clearly
distinguished
from
Giddens's
form
of
'institutional
analysis,'
inheres
in
my
own
multidimensional
attempt
to
analyze
the
globalization
process
as
such.
In
particular,
I
insist
on
the
politically
contested
nature
of
global,
or
world,
culture,
as
well
as
the
increasingly
structured
form
of
globalization.
