Globalizing Time and Space: Temporal and Spatial Considerations in Discourses of Globalization
Oke, Nicole (2009) Globalizing Time and Space: Temporal and Spatial Considerations in Discourses of Globalization. International Political Sociology, 3 (3). pp. 310-326. ISSN 1749-5679 (print) 1749-5687 (online)
Abstract
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.
