This paper attempts to examine the level of cointegration among various nations across continents with respect to their globalisation. An approach is also made to analyse the nature of interand intra-continental globalisation and its variation over time. The proximity and convergence over time, in terms of the growth of globalisation is examined by using a panel data set over a period from 1970...

In an age of global capitalism, pandemics, far-flung biobanks, multinational drug trials and telemedicine it is impossible for bioethicists to ignore the global dimensions of their field. However, if they are to do good work on the issues that globalisation requires of them, they need theoretical resources that are up to the task. This paper identifies four distinct understandings of 'globalise...

In addition, there are technological developments, more international cultural exchanges, facilitated by the freer trade ...

Criticisms of design frequently focus on its central role in the proliferation of consumer culture in the context of globalisation. This paper considers an experimental design that intervenes in these conceptions of design. By evoking the historical design ethos of co-creating, advocated by Global Tools in Italy in the 1970s, I contend that the furniture series Digestion (1998-2000) by French d...

Globalization is a dynamic process which impacts differentially on various cultures around the world. It permeates cultural boundaries and in the process results in the spread of Western ideologies and values across the world.

Music is known to be one of the most visible forms of artistic expression through which traditional patriarchal values in society can be contested and challenged. However, it has not been recognised to what extent globalisation has enhanced or hindered the use of music as a tool for gender equality. Therefore, it is necessary to find linkages between gender and music in globalisation processes....
