  1. Identities and belonging Commonality and difference; social differentiation and social integration; social inclusion and exclusion; social closeness and distance. Associations and communities. Local and transnational communities. N1: Pojasnite vsebino stavka: Transnational communities are 'communities without propinquity, in which community and spatial proximity are decoupled’. (506)! The resurgence of localism Globalization vs. the politics of identity and community (507); globalization and » a return for a familiar« (face-to-face communities).Ethnicity, ethnic ties. Marginalizing local identities »The force of ethnicity was (relatively speaking) neglected in social theory until the 1980s.« (509). N2: Ključne značilnosti marksističnega pogleda na etnično in nacionalno pripadnost.

  2. How do localisms arise? Why ethnic differences arise objectively: legal and political restrictions, coerced migration ('ethno-occupations'), differences in appearance, ethnic subjectivities (ethnic differences as 'primordial'). N3: Na kaj se nanaša oznaka 'primordial'? Nationalism as a reaction to global change Nation states and cultural diversity (homogenizing nation). Multicultural nationhood: immigrant nations, civic nationalism, assimilation, multiculturalism cultural pluralism. N4: Prevedite cel stavek: »It cannot avoid offering…« (519, začetek stavka v predzadnji vrstici na tej strani). Transnationalism and multi-level identity Cosmopolitanism: global cities; situational, ambiguous identities; cosmopolitan elites and nation state (new parochialism, decline ofnoblesse oblige; world citizenship?). Diasporas: cosmopolitanism and ethnic collectivism ('global tribes'). Multi-level religious identities: religion, locality and nation. Multiple cultures are being syncretized in a complex way (524).

  3. Contested futures Is globalization new and how extensive is it? Moral and political positions on globalization: supporters, detractors, reformers, outsiders. Global inclusion and exclusion »... our hypothesis is that social exclusion is more likely to occur when the adoption of neo-liberal economic practices is disengaged from social policy and forms of political governance.« (534) N5: Ali se vam zdi ta hipoteza smiselna? Argumentirajte svoj odgovor! Free market and political and economic interests. Social exclusion is derivative of logic of neo-liberal economic institutions. Is movement towards social inclusion necessary or possible?

  4. Cultural globalization: Uniformity or creolization? »... consumerism cannot cater for people's additional needs for community involvement, personal development and meaningful social relationships« (538). Creolization and hybrydity: »people excersise selectivity and consciously mix the old with the new to create alternative ... forms of culture« (541). Global ecumene. The making of global society N6: Na kakšne način se globalizacija kaže v vaših vsakdanjih življenjskih izkušnjah? (V odgovoru – približno 1 stran – uporabite pojme in ideje iz prebranega poglavja!)
