Course Description

According to Martin Albrow (1996) we are living in the midst of the global age. This isevidenced by the manner in which politicians and economists alike regularly refer toglobalization as a defining term of the zeitgeist. However, all too frequently the term ismobilized in highly vague and superficial fashion, usually in order to justify particular policies orinitiatives. As a result, while there exists a widespread acquaintance with the termglobalization, an equally common lack of consensus can be discerned as to its precise meaning.

This course encourages students to develop a more nuanced understanding of the inescapablephenomenon of globalization, which confronts us in every aspect of contemporary life, Usingsport as an empirical vehicle, the course excavates the interrelated economic, political, andcultural aspects of globalization. It highlights the manner in which local sporting cultures havebecome implicated in the broader processes of globalization; simply characterized by anaccelerating and intensifying flows of practices, products, peoples, spectacles, and spaces,leading to ever more complex webs of interdependency linking the populations of the globe.

That is not to say the course asserts the notion of globalization as a purely homogenizingentity. Rather, it advances the necessary relation linking forces of globalization andexperiences of localization; thereby identifying the global-local nexus responsible for whatMaguire (1999) refers to as conditions of “diminishing contrasts and increasing varieties”.In doing so, the course seeks to further a more critical and insightful awareness of therelationship between the global and the local within contrasting national and sporting culturalsettings.

Course Objectives

1. To introduce students to the derivations, structures, processes, and practices ofglobalization, as manifest within wider society, and sport in particular.

2. To advance an understanding of globalization as a longterm, multi-causal, time-spaceimplicated process, centered on the notion of conditions of accelerating andIintensifying interdependency, which results in both intended and unintendedconsequences for both sport and society in general.

3. To highlight the economic, political, and cultural facets of the globalizationphenomenon, as they are manifest within contemporary sport.

4. To bring students attention to the relationship between globalizing structures andprocesses and contemporary manifestations of sport.

5. To bring attention to the complex relationship between global forces and localexperiences, through which contemporary glocalized culture becomes manifest.

6. To provide students with a broad vocabulary with regard to the various theoreticalpositions used to understand the complex phenomenon of globalization; in away which encourages them to develop a more theoretically sophisticated

2

understanding—and indeed appreciation for—the manner in which sport isimplicated in processes of globalization.

7. To impress upon students the need to consider the power relations at work withinglobalizing processes, and subsequently develop an ethics of globalization.

8. To encourage students to engage the global in their teaching, research, and personallives, so as to foster a more comprehensive understanding of theinterconnections, and indeed interdependencies, through which humanity isorganized.

9. To nurture the researching, writing, and interpretive skills required in order forstudents to make informed, insightful, and imaginative contributions to theirfield of study.

Course Assignments

General Instructions for Assignments1. All submitted work must be produced on a word processing package.2. Be sure to keep one copy of each submission for your own records.3. Please adhere strictly to the style and format guidelines outlined in the accompanying

handout.4. Due dates are non-negotiable. Extensions will only be granted under the most

exceptional circumstances, and will require appropriate documentation.5. Be sure to follow assignment guidelines “to the letter”.6. Do not enclose your work in any form of folder/plastic cover. Make sure your papers

are stapled (do not use paper clips) on the top left hand corner.

I. Participation (10% of final grade)The success of any course, especially one at the graduate level, is dependent upon the ability toestablish a climate of informed discussion. A large part of this process depends upon the rate,and indeed level, of student participation. Therefore, you will be expected to come to classhaving read all the assigned readings for that particular week.

I am also concerned with the quality of your participation in class. So, when completing yourreadings, keep in mind that you should be making comprehensive notes on the readings thatwill inform your class contributions. The quality of your participation will also be judged bythe manner in which you respond to the discussions that will develop within class. Hence, it isimportant that you get into the habit of making pertinent (as opposed to redundant or banal)contributions.

II. Article Summaries (25% of final grade)For each week from September 12 until October 31 (a total of eight class sessions) you will beexpected to produce a 500 word article summary, for the article designated [R] withinyour list of weekly readings.

Within your article summaries you will be expected to comment on the following:

a) The specific focus of the reading and its theoretical contribution to ourunderstanding of globalization.b) Any particularly insightful concepts, quotes, or passagesc) Specific examples of how the conceptualizing could be used tofurther the understanding of contemporary sport.d) Any questions raised by the reading.

These article summaries will provide the basis for an in-depth discussion, therefore youshould be prepared to make a brief presentation of your major findings.Please note: Your article summaries must be typed, and you should circulate copies hardcopies to each class member (including myself). Failure to provide copies will negatively effectyour grade for this assignment.

5

III. Mid-Term Examination (20% of final grade)The week of November 7 will be set aside for a mid-term examination, which will cover all thematerial covered in lectures 1-8 and related readings. The precise format of the exam will bedetermined at a later date.

IV. Research Presentation (15% of final grade)A portion of the last four class sessions will be reserved for oral presentations of yourresearch papers. You will be expected to treat these presentations as if they were being givenat an academic conference.

Each student will be given a 20 minute time slot (which will be rigidly enforced), followed by10 minutes of questions from the audience. You will be expected to provide the audience witha one page summary of your presentation which should include: title; name andinstitutional affiliation; contact address; 250-300 word description of the presentation. Theappropriate audio-visual technology should be used to augment your verbal presentation (Istrongly suggest the use of PowerPoint).

Your grade for the presentation will be divided equally between content and delivery basedcriteria, so you should concentrate on preparing both.

V. Research Paper (30% of final grade)Throughout the course of the semester you will have been introduced to the work of thefollowing globalization theorists:

Arjun AppaduraiBenjamin BarberUrich BeckManuel CastellsAnthony GiddensUlf HannerzDavid HarveyKevin RobinsRoland RobertsonSaskia SassenAnthony SmithJohn TomlinsonImmanuel Wallerstein

Readings by these globalization theorists are designated [T] in your list of weekly readings,and should themselves be viewed as an introduction to the broader works of these influentialtheorists.

For your research papers you will be expected to select the work of one of theaforementioned globalization theorists, and examine its usefulness as an interpretive frame forstudy contemporary sport. As such, your paper should include the following:

6

1. An explicit justification for the choice of the globalization theory, indicating itsbenefits over alternatives.

2. A detailed bibliographic overview of your chosen globalization theorists work, withspecific regard to the various underpinnings and strands of the the theory, and adiscussion of how where it is positioned in relation to the globalization theory debate.

3. An empirically grounded exposition of precisely how the chosen theory could beused to further the interpretive understanding of a stated aspect of contemporarysport. In other words, this section should appropriate and mobilize the specifics of theglobalization theory during the course of a precise examination of a sporting problem.

The research paper should be a minimum of 6,000 words in length (not includingreferences. Your paper should adhere strictly to APA Style and Format guidelines.The research paper will be due on Thursday December 19.

___________________________________________

Assigned Weekly Readings Given the subject matter of this course, I feel it is important to provide you with a wide rangeof reading material. Evidently, it is of vital importance that you come to class havingread all the assigned readings for that particular week.

In addition, I would strongly suggest that you get into the habit of taking detailed notespertaining to each reading. These will notes will inform significantly your classroomcontribution, and prove invaluable when preparing for the mid-term examination, and whenworking on your research papers.

Therefore, with regard to completing--and making notes upon--assigned readings, you will beexpected to do a considerable amount of work outside the classroom as preparation for yourexperience in it. As a general rule, you should be thinking of spending a minimum of 8hours per week in preparation for each lecture.

___________________________________________

The following designations are designed to draw attention to the status of specific readings:

[E] An electronic format reading that can be accessed through the UMD E-Journal sitehttp://www.lib.umd.edu. You are responsible for accessing and printing copies of thesereadings.

[R] The reading for that particular week on which you will be expected to write--and circulateto the class--a 500 word article summary.

[T] A reading by the selected globalization theorists, one of whose work you will choose tofocus on within your research paper. It is expected that you will use these readings as anentrée into the work of these major theorists.
