Globalization, deglobalization and knowledge production

On deglobalization in QCD

The recent discovery and resummation of a class of single-logarithmic effects (nonglobal logs), has a significant impact on several QCD observables ranging from the classic StermanWeinberg jet definition to currently studied event shapes and rapidity gap observables. The discovery of the above effects overturns, for example, the common wisdom that hadronic energy flow in limited inter-jet regio...

Globalization of Knowledge (Forschungsperspektiven 2010+)

Today much knowledge – scientific, technological, and cultural – is shared worldwide. The extent to which globalized knowledge existed also in the past is an open question and moreover a question that is important for understanding present processes of globalization. Considering for instance the rapid spread in pre-history of the wheel throughout Eurasia, the spreading of Roman law to such dive...

Economic Insecurity and the Globalization of Production

A common claim in debates about globalization is that economic integration increases worker insecurity. Although this idea is central to both political and academic debates about international economic integration, the theoretical basis of the claim is often not clear and critically there is no empirical research that has directly tested the relationship. In this paper, we argue that economic i...
