Globalisation and Policy Research
University of Sussex, UK
www.gapresearch.org/
This three-year programme of research starts from
two premises. First, the impact of globalisation processes is uneven.
There are winners and losers. Secondly, policy interventions can make
a difference to the way globalisation processes impact on the poor.
National policies and global rule-setting can, together, contribute
to globalisation becoming a solution to global poverty. There are fourteen
projects grouped under three themes: production, trade and labour markets;
capital flows, investment and debt; and global governance and institutions.
Globalisation and Social Exclusion Unit
Liverpool
www.gseu.org.uk/

was set up in 1999 at the University of Liverpool as a network of researchers
with overlapping interests in these two areas. We are committed to an
interdisciplinary approach to the social, spatial and political aspects
of globalisation and social exclusion. We also feel it is necessary
to critically draw out the policy implications of research in this area.
The GSEU has a variable configuration which allows us to put together
research teams on different topics as necessity demands. It is also
part of a broad international network of researchers and policy makers.

and regional organisations (EU, NAFTA, ASEAN, Council of Europe etc;
The field of policy making that embraces global social redistribution,
global social health and labour regulation, and global social provision
and empowerment; and the role of international civil society (transnational
social movements and international NGOs) and that of the business world

the making of social policy in general and in particular in developing,
crisis-ridden, war-torn, and post-communist societies.

New School University, USA
www.newschool.edu/cepa/research/gspde98/index.htm
This project on Globalization and Social Policy
studies the impacts of changes in the international economic system
on economic and social performance in developing economies. "Globalization" is
interpreted as a complex process involving liberalization of international
flows of finance and trade, along with country-specific changes in public
policies and behavioral patterns of private economic actors. The project
is centered around case studies of developing economies, informed by
a common macroeconomic framework and research methodology and undertaken
by national researchers with worldwide reputations.
GlobAsia
www.globasia.dk
The overall aim of the three-year research programme
(1999-2001) is to determine how globalisation and associated change
processes have impacted upon developing countries in selected areas.
The main focus is on the impact upon (a) developing country states,
their economic, human resource development and environmental policies
as well as their capabilities and capacities for implementing policies
in these areas; (b) industrial development patterns; and (c) environment
protection and pollution control. The research programme further aims
at revealing the wider implications for socio-economic and human development
in the countries selected for study. Special attention will also be
given to the implications for political development as a result of external
influences on the mode of functioning of the concerned states and the
possible weakening of their autonomy.
Hiroshima City University Hiroshima Peace Institute
serv.peace.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp/English/
Institute for Global Studies
John Hopkins University, USA
www.jhu.edu/igscph/
The purpose of this Institute is to stimulate dialogue,
reflection and research that links these two global moments, their limits,
continuities and disjunctures -- as these affect Culture, Power and
History at the local level. The experience of globality is always that
of historically situated individuals with specific resources and limits.
The Institute's emphasis is thus on the local level seen in a global
context; on the impact of these two moments of globality on groups and
individuals, especially in the non-West; on the resources they use to
cope or to conform, to accommodate or to resist.

Institute for Development Studies—Globalisation Team
University of Sussex, UK
www.ids.ac.uk/ids/global/index.html
Growing anxiety in developed and developing countries
over the dangers of rising inequalities threaten the sustainability
of global processes. There is thus increasing recognition that available
policy instruments are inadequate to meeting the challenges posed by
globalisation. At the same time it is also evident that suitable policy
responses will need to be grounded on rigorous research. The work of
the IDS Globalisation Team illuminates these issues by exploring: how
global processes work; who gains and who loses from global processes;
and what policy instruments are available to provide for an outcome
which is more equitable, which provides for sustainable growth and which
do not harm the environment.

Journals
Arena Journal
Melbourne, Australia
www.arena.org.au
Arena Journal concerns itself with the possibilities
for a renewed critical practice in an era of rapid transformation. The
intensification of globalisation means much more than just a change
in politics of economics (although these remain vital questions), but
cuts deep into every aspect of our being. Previously taken-for-granted
elements in social life, even the nature of the social itself have become
rapidly destabilised as every institution and cultural setting is potentially
drawn into the framework of commodity circulation, and the social is
increasingly constituted through the media and the image. Arena
Journal hopes to encourage discussion around key aspects of this transformation:
in particular the changing nature of the economy; the structure and
experience of the self; the re-constitution of class politics, state
structures, and modes of artistic expression, and the significance of
feminist, ecological and other social movements.

small. We use the web’s potential to build and map intelligent
discussions which we accumulate and index in our back pages which now
include over 1,500 articles. Written by and for people across the world,
from South and North, from the powerless to the influential, we seek
to bring together those who are not well-known with writers and thinkers
of international repute.
