Global Nexus, The: Political Economies, Connectivity, And The Social Sciences
Author: Karim Wazir Jahan
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9813232455
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
The Global Nexus: Political Economies, Connectivity, and the Social Sciences is a provocative critique of the social sciences in the age of neoconservative and alt-right globalisation sweeping across modern democracies globally. The writer persuasively argues that the mainstream western social science modality of describing indigenous knowledge and sub-altern discourses as 'alternative knowledge' is due for serious review, for it describes, devalues, and renders it the same renegade status as the 'alternate realities' of the alt-right, neo-conservative agencies of Western and Asian governments. The abuse of indigenous knowledge by neoconservative governments to promote racism, ethno-centricities, and misogyny has also reduced vital sources of local knowledge to fodder, only salvaged by 'the good press' — specialists of the media in investigative journalism, communications, and literature, who propose that worldviews and ideas of the underclasses, including women, migrants, minorities, refugees, war prisoners, and refugees should be brought to the fore and 'mainstreamed' for the reader to understand that the stories they tell and their reasons why tell them, are closer to truth than fiction. These lost voices, often silenced, suppressed, and understated, generate new knowledge of the marginalised and disadvantaged sectors of modern society, reflecting the social realities of globalisation.Focusing on Southeast Asia with comparisons across nations in the Levant and the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, Wazir Jahan Karim vividly demonstrates how plural political economies have emerged and rendered flaws in the globalisation process. As powerful elites compete to accumulate and control wealth, power, and vital global resources, the growing phenomenon of global agencing, wealth- and poverty-generating institutions exist together in complex networks of hierarchical relationships, strategies, and alliances, with dire consequences for those on the receiving end of the global spectrum.

The Global Nexus
Author: Wazir-Jahan Karim
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9789813232433
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"The book Global Nexus: Political Economies, Interconnectivity, and the Social Sciences brings out the contradictions and conflicts within the globalisation exercise; that while it provides opportunities for the poor and unemployed to improve their livelihoods, it encapsulates them in the phenomena of 'agencing', which become entrapments in long-term dependency and indebtedness. Global wealth-generating institutions and global poverty-generating institutions exist together in complex sets of relationships, strategies, and alliances. The Trump factor in globalisation is inherently contradictory since it assumes an isolationist role for the United States vis-?-vis deployment of industrial investments in the developing world or the Trans-Pacific Partnership while simultaneously reinforcing armament contracts, political alliances, and extra-territorial militarisms which reinforce conflicts in Asia and the Middle East. Global Nexus: Political Economies, Interconnectivity, and the Social Sciences suggests that inter-disciplinary social sciences in an age of globalisation are best understood through a nexus of transactional activities which generate their own political economies, thereby framing social realities in their own parameters of thought and action, providing a better understanding of the subject-matter, and its changing sphere of influence"--

Power and Global Sport
Author: Joseph Maguire
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134527276
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Sport has changed. Traditions and territorial distinctions are dissolving as a result of new global, political, economic and cultural conditions. The team of authors examine these changes, investigating the power relations that govern the new global sport and assessing the consequences for the future of sport. The book is founded on a series of case studies, linked by a common process-sociological approach, and is divided into four sections - each dealing with an important aspect of sport and globalization: * the local-global nexus - how global sports processes are played out at the level of local communities * lived experiences - the reality of global sport for players and supporters * identity politics - the impact of global sport on national consciousness * sporting futures - the emergent political, economic and cultural forces that are shaping global sport, and their implications for its development. The text introduces new approaches to the study of sport and globalization, updating and extending Maguire's previous work, and is therefore an essential resource for all those working in this fast-changing area.
