(1999) World views and the problem of synthesis, Dordrecht, Springer.
Globalisation, as a term and as a concept, is used in a variety of political, economic and social contexts. Not only can we find lots of conferences and books on "globalisation", there are also several bastard forms of use, such as "glocalization" [13] or "globalitarian regimes' [12], which constitutes a good proof of the discursive success of this concept. This success is not based on any precise meaning of the concept; on the contrary, the multiplicity of meanings and contexts of use seem to be characteristic of the discursive success.
