Abstract

Global studies is a new field that is open to a wide variety of approaches. Thus, global studies exists on diverse bandwidths, the same heading, different meanings. Global studies can be a large parking lot for diverse vehicles that share a need for parking space. In global studies lite, because the global is in the local, nearly everything is ‘global’. Add mixed methods and global studies research is just around the corner. Put ‘global’ in front of a noun—global race, global migration, global discourse, global knowledge—and join the use of the global tag in marketing (global product, global brand), business (global bank, global database), media (global trending, global appeal) and scholarship (global modernity, global culture, global capitalism, global crisis, global policing). Or, recycle globalization research, world-system thinking and other 1990s perspectives. Global studies is a bricolage, an improvised combination of elements.

    A valuable resource is the informality project (‘The Global Informality Project, www.in-formality.com, concerns the open secrets, unwritten rules and informal practices from all over the globe’). Some of its findings are: ‘Informality is fringy but central. The more developed societies are, the less visible (and hidden behind the facades of formal institutions) are their informal norms. It is not that informality does not exist in developed societies, rather that the norms developing in these societies have pushed it out of sight’.
