public opinion regarding economic and Cultural Globalization evidence from a cross national survey
Social Science Research Network, 2007Co-Authors: Martin S EdwardsAbstract:Empirical studies of public opinion regarding Globalization have to date addressed only economic integration. By way of comparison, we know much less about public opinion regarding Cultural Globalization. In addition, there has been little head-to-head testing of alternative explanations for public opinions in these areas. I contrast four arguments: skills, partisanship, economic evaluations, and beliefs about the free market, consumerism, and modern life, which I test using survey information taken from 17 developed and developing countries from 2002. I find that values are a powerful and understudied explanation for variations in public opinion. Regardless of whether the question dealt with economic or Cultural Globalization, views about the free market, consumerism, and modern life had more explanatory power than evaluations of the economy or partisanship, and roughly the same explanatory powers as skill levels. These findings provide important insights into the sources of the Globalization backlash and have important implications for how Globalization should be both studied and theorized.

Globalization corporatism and critical language education
International Multilingual Research Journal, 2007Co-Authors: Allan Luke, Carmen Luke, Philip W GrahamAbstract:Abstract This article explores the impacts of economic and Cultural Globalization on language and language education. It acknowledges the spread of English and the negative impacts of this upon other languages and language communities. The case is made that new conditions of economic dominance by multinational corporations raise the stakes for schooling and language education. These conditions have established a “new Latin” of technocratic English that services and obscures the corporate order. It argues for the continuing importance of the state and state schooling and the expansion of the definitions and practices of critical language and literacy education.

Against mass media trends: Minority growth in Cultural Globalization
2020Co-Authors: Cosenza M. G., Gavidia Borrero, Marino Eliezer, Gonzalez-avella J. C.Abstract:We investigate the collective behavior of a globalized society under the influence of endogenous mass media trends. The mass media trend is a global field corresponding to the statistical mode of the states of the agents in the system. The interaction dynamics is based on Axelrod’s rules for the dissemination of culture. We find situations where the largest minority group, possessing a Cultural state different from that of the predominant trend transmitted by the mass media, can grow to almost half of the size of the population. We show that this phenomenon occurs when a critical number of long-range connections are present in the underlying network of interactions. We have numerically characterized four phases on the space of parameters of the system: an ordered phase; a semi-ordered phase where almost half of the population consists of the largest minority in a state different from that of the mass media; a disordered phase; and a chimera-like phase where one large domain coexists with many very small domains

Cultural Globalization as the emergence of a transnational Cultural field transnational television and national media landscapes in four european countries
American Behavioral Scientist, 2011Co-Authors: Giselinde KuipersAbstract:This article analyzes Cultural Globalization as the emergence of a transnational Cultural field, integrating Bourdieusian field theory with Globalization theory. Drawing on interview materials and secondary data analysis, it compares the "opening up" of national television fields in France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland and the formation of a transnational TV field with (partly) its own standards, practices, and Cultural geography. Cultural intermediaries, such as television buyers, are crucial to this transnational field, mediating and maintaining relations between the national and transnational arenas. These transnational professional create transnational practices and quality standards and diffuse them into national Cultural fields.

Cultural Globalization and arts journalism the international orientation of arts and culture coverage in dutch french german and u s newspapers 1955 to 2005
American Sociological Review, 2008Co-Authors: Susanne Janssen, Giselinde Kuipers, Marc VerboordAbstract:This article charts key developments and cross-national variations in the coverage of foreign culture (i.e., classical and popular music, dance, film, literature, theater, television, and visual arts) in Dutch, French, German, and U.S. elite newspapers between 1955 and 2005. Such coverage signals the awareness of foreign culture among national elites and the degree and direction of "Globalization from within." Using content analysis, we examine the degree, direction, and diversity of the international orientation of arts journalism for each country and Cultural genre. Results denote how international arts and culture coverage has increased in Europe but not in the United States. Moreover, the centrality of a country in the Cultural "world-system" offers a better explanation for cross-national differences in international orientation than do other country-level characteristics, such as size and Cultural policy framework. Recorded and performance-based genres differ markedly in their levels of internationalization, but the effect of other genre-level characteristics, such as language dependency and capital intensiveness, is not clear. In each country, international coverage remains concentrated on a few countries, of which the United States has become the most prominent. Although the global diversity of coverage has increased, non-Western countries are still underrepresented.

urban morphology and place identity in european cities built heritage and innovative design
Journal of Urban Design, 2004Co-Authors: Aspa GospodiniAbstract:In the processes of economic and Cultural Globalization, European integration and the blur of national identities in Europe, place identity emerges as a central concern of both scholars and other people. This paper examines the ways specific aspects of urban morphology such as built heritage and the innovative design of space may contribute to place identity in European cities. First, it develops a theoretical conjecture that in post‐modern multi‐ethnic and multi‐Cultural societies, innovative design of space can efficiently work as a place identity generator in the same ways built heritage has been performing in modern—Culturally bounded and nation‐state‐oriented—European societies. This conjecture is then tested by research in the city of Bilbao. The outcome of the research supports the argument that innovative design schemes: (1) may permit divergent interpretations by individuals thereby fitting into the ‘diversity’ and ‘individualization’ of new modernity; (2) may synchronize different ethnic/cultura...
