Abstract
Arguing that the world is’ socially constructed’ does not have the same intellectual bite that it once did. As Hacking (1999) suggests, it is actually quite hard to find a research topic in the social sciences that hasn’t already been tagged with the epithet. Globalization is no exception (Cameron and Palan, 2004; Rosamond, 2001).
I am extremely grateful to Nisha Shah for ongoing support, encouragement and critique of my work.
