Populism and GlobalizationProtoSociology Volume 37. E-book. Formato EPUB Barrie Axford   -  Books On Demand, 2021  - 

The narrative of populism as a 'rising tide' has enjoyed currency at least since the election of Donald Trump in 2016 and the success of the 'Leave' campaign in the UK referendum on membership of the EU earlier in that year. And yet, on the eve of what proved to be President Trump's election defeat some four years later, the British journalist Nick Cohen felt able to muse '(w)e're endlessly told why populism works. Now see how it might fail' (October 10, 2020). So, one might be forgiven for thinking that what goes around must eventually come around. However, things are not that simple, and the runes are harder to read.

Borders of Global Theory - Reflections from Within and WithoutProtoSociology Vol. 33. E-book. Formato EPUB Barrie Axford   -  Books On Demand, 2017  - 

Global Theory from Within and Without is a critical examination of the concept of globalization. There are in sociological theory many definitions of globalization. Sociological theory constructs a new theory of globalization starting from the structural changes of social systems at the beginning of the 21th century. The research subject is the ongoing connection of global studies and the research program of multiple modernities. The structural change is initiated by growing pace and different intensities of social exchange of the subsystems of societal communication in contemporary societies. The studies of global scholarship show that the structural change is not an indicator of any unified constitution of social systems.
