Jan Aart Scholte
June 2004
Abstract:
This report summarises the proceedings of an interdisciplinary and intercultural roundtable held at CSGR in February 2003 to assess the past development and future prospects of globalisation studies. The discussions focused on three general questions: namely, definitions of globalisation; methodologies of globalisation studies; and normative challenges facing academic research on globalisation. The paper compiles the perspectives on these three issues of 27 participants heralding from 15 countries and a dozen fields of study.
