Globalisierung' avancierte in den zurückliegenden Jahren zu einem der am meisten gebrauchten politischen Schlagworte, obwohl - oder vielleicht gerade weil - der Begriff nach wie vor unterbestimmt, theoretisch unscharf und nicht selten mit (ideologischen) Werturteilen überfrachtet ist. Ungeachtet dessen haben sich - im Zuge der inflationaren Verwendung des Globalisierungsbegriffs - zahlreiche Kontroversen entsponnen. Das Spektrum dieser Auseinandersetzungen wird auf der einen Seite durch 'Globalisierungsbefürworter' und auf der anderen Seite durch 'Globalisierungskritiker' markiert.Der Band versammelt Beitrage, welche die Rahmenbedingungen und Divergenzen der aktuellen Globalisierungsdebatte aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven nachzeichnen und eine (soziologische) Deutung der damit einhergehenden transnationalen, internationalen und nationalen Phanomene vornehmen.
