In the immense literature on globalization, the work of Roland
Robertson stands out. In particular, his insistence that
globalization manifests itself primarily as glocalization, the
simultaneity of the global and the local, of homogenization and
heterogenization continues to influence how a wide variety of
observers understand the process, including those who contest it.
In honour of Robertson’s lifetime contributions, this volume
brings together a set of essays that demonstrate the cogency of his
approach, point out directions in which it can be further
developed, and illustrate the insight it can provide in topics as
varied as religion, football, wine, morality, and UFOs.
Contributors include: Peter Beyer, John Boli, Didem Buhari Gulmez,
Rebecca Catto, Richard Giulianotti, Ulf Hannerz, David Inglis, Paul
James, Habibul Haque Khondker, Anne Sophie Krossa, Frank Lechner,
Kristian Naglo, John H. Simpson, Manfred B. Steger, and George M.
Thomas.
