: • Does globalization refer to a process (as I have been assuming here) or to a condition? Most theories would sec it as a process of transformation, and some theorists therefore refer to globalization as a process and globality as a condition. • How do modernity and postmodernity relate to globalization? • What is the relationship between globalization and the nation-state? Is the nation-state being undermined? Has it retained its primacy? Or is it becoming transformed in new ways? Does globalization involve internationalization, seen as an increased intensity of exchanges among nation-states, or transnationalization, invoking emerging structures, processes and phenomena that transcend the nation-state system? • Relatedly, to what extent is the relationship between social structure and territoriality being redefined by globalization? Is there a deterritorialization of social relations under globalization? What is the relationship between the local and the global? How are space and time being reconfigured?
