Globalization and Democracy. Political Participation and Economic Prosperity in a Global Economy. http://www.demglob.de/

The Yale Center for the Study of Globalization is devoted to examining the impact of our increasingly integrated world on individuals, communities, and nations.
Globalization presents challenges and opportunities. The Center's purpose is to support the creation and dissemination of ideas for seizing the opportunities and overcoming the challenges. It shall be particularly focused on practical policies to enable the world's poorest and weakest citizens to share in the benefits brought by globalization. It will also explore solutions to problems that, even if they do not result directly from integration, are global in nature, and can therefore be effectively addressed only through international cooperation.
The Center will draw on the rich intellectual resources of the Yale community, scholars from other universities, and experts from around the world. On campus, it will support teaching and research on the many facets of globalization. It will help enrich debate on globalization through workshops, conferences, and publications. Also to this end, the Center will publish the YaleGlobal online magazine. Off campus, the Center will further its mission through collaboration with a variety of institutions across the globe. - ycsg.yale.edu/intro/

GLOBALIZATION OF LAW
Annual Review of Sociology
Vol. 32: 447-470 (Volume publication date August 2006)
Terence C. Halliday, American Bar Foundation
Pavel Osinsky, Department of Sociology, Northwestern University
Globalization of law may be defined as the worldwide progression of transnational legal structures and discourses along the dimensions of extensity, intensity, velocity, and impact. Future research will be productively directed to where and how global law originates, how and when global norms and law are transmitted and enforced, and how global-local settlements are negotiated. - arjournals.annualreviews.org

Sovereignty, globalization and transnational social movements
Raimo Väyrynen
Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame
Abstract: ... Therefore, the anti-globalization movement, although it is unable to halt the process of economic integration, has been able to redefine the terms of the globalization debate and influence responses by national governments and international financial institutions. - irap.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/1/2/227

Globalization and the governance of space: a critique of Krasner on sovereignty
Steve Smith, University of wales, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion SY 23 2AA, Wales UK. Email: sts@aber.ac.uk
Abstract: The paper concludes by arguing for a transformationalist view of sovereignty and consequentially a view of its impact on sovereignty that is very different to that proposed by Krasner. - irap.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/1/2/199

From Modernization to Globalization: Challenges and Opportunities
Dawn H. Currie, Anthropology and Sociology, University of British Columbia
Sunera Thobani, Center for Research in Women's Studies and Gender Relations
During the past decade, notions of globalization have displaced familiar discourses of modernization. This recognition reminds us that 'gender'cannot simply be added to existing paradigms of globalization. - gtd.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/7/2/149

Broadening the Debate
The Pros and Cons of Globalization
Joyce S. Osland, San Jose State University
The winners and losers resulting from globalization are identified along with empirical evidence of its impact on key areas: equality, labor, government, culture and community, and the environment. The literature indicates that globalization is an uneven process that has had both positive and negative effects. The article presents some of the arguments of various stakeholders in the globalization controversy. - jmi.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/12/2/137

Globalization and Social Policy: From Global Neoliberal Hegemony to Global Political Pluralism
Nicola Yeates, Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland
This article argues that a less 'defeatist' and more fruitful way of analysing the relationship between globalization and social policy is to consider, first, how globalization has thrown up structures for contestation, resistance and opposition and, second, how states and other interests act domestically and outwardly through their own 'multi-tiered', 'multi-sphered' strategies to determine the pace, course, timing and effects of globalization. - gsp.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/2/1/69

Globalization, Poverty, and Inequality since 1980
David Dollar
One of the most contentious issues of globalization is the effect of global economic integration on inequality and poverty. - wbro.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/20/2/145

Globalization and Inequality, Past and Present
Jeffrey G. Williamson
The late nineteenth and late twentieth centuries shared more than globalization and economic convergence. Will the world economy once again retreat from globalization as the rich OECD countries come under political pressure to cushion the side effects of rising inequality? - wbro.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/12/2/117

Welfare lobby groups responding to globalization
A case study of the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS)
Philip Mendes, Department of Social Work, Faculty of Medicine, Monash University, PO Box 197, East Caulfield, Victoria, Australia 3145, Philip.Mendes@med.monash.edu.au
Theories of globalization suggest that national lobby groups continue to exert influence on social policy agendas and outcomes. This article explores the response of an Australian welfare lobby group to the challenges posed by globalization. - isw.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/49/6/693

Globalization and Nationalism
John A. Hall
Internationalization of the world economy is now embedded more firmly than it was in the past - as the result of a stable geopolitical settlement. - the.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/63/1/63

The End of Geography?
Globalization, Communications, and Culture in the International System
J. MICHAEL GREIG, Department of Political Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Globalization and the expansion of communications carry important consequences for culture in the international system. The expansion of communications also reduces the extent to which the most common cultural attributes tend to predominate after interaction. - jcr.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/46/2/225

GLOBALIZATION AND DEMOCRACY
Kathleen C. Schwartzman, Department of Sociology, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721; e-mail: KCS@U.Arizona.edu
This review examines numerous renderings of the linkage between globalization and democratization, including: favorable climate for democracy, global economic growth, global crises, foreign intervention, hegemonic shifts, and world-system contraction. - arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/ annurev.soc.24.1.159

Economic Globalization and Transnational Terrorism
A Pooled Time-Series Analysis
Quan Li, Department of Political Science, Pennsylvania State University
Drew Schaub, Department of Political Science, Pennsylvania State University
The effect of economic globalization on the number of transnational terrorist incidents within countries is analyzed statistically, using a sample of 112 countries from 1975 to 1997. To the extent that trade and FDI promote economic development, they have an indirect negative effect on transnational terrorism. - jcr.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/48/2/230

GLOBALIZATION AND THE EMPOWERMENT OF TALENT
Dalia Marin and Thierry Verdier - www2.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/institute/wpol/ schumpeter/seminar/abstract/DaliaMarin.html
Abstract: This paper examines the role of trade integration for the changing nature of the corporation. Trade integration is shown to lead to waves of outsourcing and to convergence in corporate cultures across countries.

Globalization of the Economy
Jeffrey Frankel - August 2000 - ksghome.harvard.edu
Abstract: The paper documents the extent of globalization, and some reasons for the barriers that remains. It then briefly considers the implications for economic growth and the implications for goals not measured by GDP -- equality and the environment. The conclusion is that globalization is not the primary obstacle to efforts to address such concerns.

Corporate Codes of Conduct and the Success of Globalization
Ethics & International Affairs, Volume 16.1 (Spring 2002) - cceia.org/resources/journal/16_1/articles/280.html
S. Prakash Sethi
Abstract: This article focuses on the expanding role of multinational corporations (MNCs) in developing countries, within the context of globalization and free trade. It demonstrates that the current state of globalization does not conform to the conventional notion of free trade.

Globalization and the distribution of income: The economic arguments
Ronald W. Jones - Department of Economics, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627
One of the issues currently being debated in the ongoing discussion of the pros and cons of today's globalization concerns the effects of greater world trade as well as of the changes in technology on a country's internal distribution of income, especially on skilled versus unskilled wage rates. The impact of globalization on the wage premium between the skilled and unskilled may not be as obvious as is first imagined. - pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/100/19/11158

Web-science communication in the age of globalization
Han Woo Park - YeungNam University, South Korea
Mike Thelwall - University of Wolverhampton, UK
The web is important for academic communication and publishing on an international scale, but it is difficult to assess the extent to which globalization actually has occurred. The overall findings were indicative of globalization rather than regionalism, but a better characterization might be globalization with regional imbalances and individual high performing countries. - nms.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/8/4/629

Copyright and globalization in the age of computer networks
Richard Stallman
Abstract: But if we seriously hope to serve the purpose for which copyright was established in the US--to promote progress, for the benefit of the public--what needs to be done is either to reduce copyright powers or effectively eliminate them, depending on the kind of work. Governments must now protect the public's right to copy. - web.mit.edu/comm-forum/forums/copyright.html

Does Globalization of the Scientific/Engineering Workforce Threaten U.S. Economic Leadership?
Richard B. Freeman
Abstract: This paper develops four propositions that show that changes in the global job market for science and engineering (S&E) workers are eroding US dominance in S&E, which diminishes comparative advantage in high tech production and creates problems for American industry and workers. - nber.org/papers/w11457

Globalization and Social Work: International and Local Implications
Karen Lyons
Globalization can seem a remote process, related only to the economic and commercial world. However, it impacts (differentially) on the work opportunities and living conditions of populations around the world and has also influenced thinking about welfare policies, including through state provision. Gives some examples of the ways in which local practice may have cross-border and international dimensions, drawing on experiences in the child-care field, particularly in the UK and European context. - bjsw.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/36/3/365

The Internationalization of Money and Finance and the Globalization of Financial Markets
JAMES R. LOTHIAN, Fordham University - College of Business Administration; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
Journal of International Money and Finance, 2002
Abstract: The conclusion that I reach is that the internationalization of money and finance and the globalization of financial markets are not new phenomena. They are part of an evolutionary process that began much earlier and that has continued, albeit with periodic interruptions and reversals, for many centuries. What we see today is simply the latest and most advanced manifestation of this process. - papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=613694

Globalization, Democracy, and Effective Welfare Spending in the Developing World
2005 SAGE Publications
Nita Rudra, University of Pittsburgh
Stephan Haggard, University of California–San Diego
The literature on the effects of globalization on social policy and welfare, and the parallel literature on the effects of democracy, operate in mutual isolation to a surprising degree. The results show that social spending in "hard" authoritarian regimes is more sensitive to the pressures of globalization than in democratic or intermediate regimes. - cps.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/38/9/1015

Green and Brown? Globalization and the Environment
James K. Boyce
University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Abstract: How the opportunities created by globalization alter balances of power within countries and among them. - oxrep.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/20/1/105

Debate: Globalization and local response to epidemiological overlap in 21st century Ecuador
William F Waters
Introduction: epidemiologic transition and globalization: This paper begins with the premise that global public health is not at its core only a medical issue but is, rather, embedded in social, cultural, political, and economic structures and processes. Globalization affects public health in a variety of ways because it has unleashed profound changes that have redefined how institutions at many levels–nation states, government agencies, transnational corporations, multilateral organizations, non-governmental organizations, public and private health care providers, community-based and other affinity-based organizations, communities, and households–operate and interact with one another. - globalizationandhealth.com/content/2/1/8

Experiences of Globalization and Health in the Narratives of Women Industrial Workers in Sri Lanka
Chamila T. Attanapola
In the late 1970s, Sri Lanka entered the global market system by facilitating multinational enterprises to invest in industries located in export processing zones (EPZs). Only a few women are able to increase their potential for empowerment by participating in organizational activities and raising women’s own awareness on workers’ rights and health related issues. - gtd.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/9/1/81

Globalization, Technological Changes and the Search for a New Paradigm for Women's Work
Swasti Mitter
The arguments of the paper are placed in the context of the current debate on the desirability of globalization from the perspective of women in Asia. The paradigm acknowledges the liberating aspects of new technologies and modernization. At the same time, it emphasizes the role of the state, the family and women workers' organizations in counteracting the negative consequences of current globalization. - gtd.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/3/1/1
