ABSTRACT
Globalisation is the set of processes, whereby – facilitated by enhanced global flows of such things as industry, investment, individuals and information (Ohmae 1990, 1995) – the world is becoming structurally (economically and politically) more integrated (see Baylis and Smith 2001) and culturally (ideationally) more homogenised (cf. Berger and Huntington 2002). The world is becoming, in other words, a ‘borderless’ (Ohmae 1990), ‘single place’ (Robertson 1992; Scholte 2001).
