Knowledge of globalization is substantially a function of how the concept is defined. After tracing the history of ‘global’ vocabulary, this paper suggests several principles that should inform the way globality (the condition) and globalization (the trend) are defined. On this basis four common conceptions of the term are rejected in favour of a f...
Definition is not everything, but everything involves definition. Knowledge of globalization is substantially a function of how the word is defined. Thus every study of globalization should include a careful and critical examination of the term itself. A muddled or misguided core concept compromises our overall comprehension of the problem. In cont...
Before addressing the challenge of definition here, it is well first of all to reflect on the nature and purpose of the exercise. Four methodological points deserve particular emphasis. First, definition is more than a lexicographical pastime and on the contrary has key intellectual and political purposes and repercussions. Intellectually, a defini...
Much if not most existing analysis of globalization is flawed because it is redundant. Such research does not meet the first criterion above, namely, to generate new understanding that is not attainable with other concepts. Four main definitions have led into this cul-de-sac: globalization as internationalization; globalization as liberalization; g...
Fortunately, the four definitions critiqued above do not exhaust the possible definitions of globalization.

Yes, much globe-talk of recent years has revealed nothing new. And yes, loose thinking and careless politics has devalued man...
