| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Globalization discourse is concerned with the effects of spatial change-changes in the shape, scale and extensity or social processes-and the effects of temporal change-particularly changes to, or away from, modernity. By drawing together both axes of change, globalization discourse suggests a way of navigating this tension. However, it is argued here that most globalization theories accord primacy to one of these axes, which results in them being conflated. As a result, globalization theories are often presented in highly systemic terms and downplay the diversity of social processes. |
