Globalization extends the areas of interaction between people of different origins. According to Allport’s contact theory (1958), intergroup contacts can reduce prejudices and negative attitudes towards foreign- ers. In this paper we focus on the impact of globalization (Dreher’s Index, 2007) on the openness to- wards immigrants, using multilevel models on the ICCS 2009 data (35 countries). There is a negative re- lation between globalization ...

However, the very notion of globalization itself sparks heated controversy. Different types of globalization theories single out different processes and markers of globalization and hence point to different markers of globalised sexualities, often leading to different evaluations of this emerging ...

Institutional perspectives of globalization envision the homogenization of the world through global cultural, economic, and political dynamics, while glocalization theory highlights how local cultures may adapt or resist global forces. On the basis of these theories, the authors analyze when, where, and why local hybrid organizational forms emerge as a reaction to globalization.
