Conceptualising Globalisation

There is hardly any unanimity in the theoretical formulations on globalisation. While on one hand, the excessive use of the term as a sociological concept has largely emptied it of any analytical and explanatory value, most observations are based on a dominant economic framework. This paper argues that for an empirical study of globalisation to be strong, it requires to be grounded on clear measures of globalisation, those that are based on broader areas of social implications as well as its impact on various aspects of human life.
