This series will explore and complicate the interlinked notions of 
“local” and “global,” by integrating global dependency thinking, 
world-system theory and local, grassroots, interpretative, participatory 
theory, and research on social change.

In the current world state, globalization and localization are seen as 
interlinked processes and this marks /a radical change in thinking about 
change and development/. It could integrate macro- and micro-theory. It 
also marks the arising of a new range of problems. One of the central 
problems is that /the link between the global and the local /is not 
always made clear.

The debates in the general field of international and intercultural 
communication have shifted and broadened. They have shifted in the sense 
that they are now focusing on issues related to ‘global culture,’ ‘local 
culture,’ ‘(post)modernity’ and ‘multiculturalism’ instead of their 
previous concern with ‘modernization,’ ‘synchronization’ and ‘cultural 
imperialism.’ With these new discussions, the debates have also shifted 
from an emphasis on homogeneity towards an /emphasis on differences/. 
With this shift towards differences and localities there is also an 
increased interest in the link between the global and the local and in 
how the global is perceived in the local.

This series invites manuscripts which address the above changes, either 
from global or local perspectives. Book proposals are refereed. This is 
a continuation of the former /Hampton Book /series, which included the 
following titles:
