Central to the concept of globalisation is the idea of the expansion and development of global capital and the ascendancy of transnational over national forms of economy, society, politics and culture. Globalisation is transforming the character of social boundaries and attachments. Individuals, families, and communities are no longer enclosed in the same way by geography or social worlds. People have become more internationally mobile and so have corporations and whole industries. Global cultures have emerged based on mass communication, media and consumer goods. Draws on the work of Appadurai, Friedman, Tilly, Taylor and Hall to explore concepts such as: identity, borders, migration, global communication, global culture, place and displacement, development, organisation, disorganisation (chaos), sociality and futures.
