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.

*Springer Book Series: Communication, Culture and Change in Asia*

This series offers a comprehensive view of contemporary theoretical and 
programmatic issues in the field of communication, culture and social 
change in Asia. It explores multiple linkages between communication and 
culture from a social change perspective, an area that has been 
increasingly central to development debates over the past decades. The 
purpose of the series is twofold: to showcase the increasing richness 
and versatility of communication, culture and social change research and 
practice, and to make a call for adopting and applying a more 
comprehensive perspective on communication/culture for development and 
social change, with a focus on localizing and globalizing cases and 
studies in the Asian region. Given the variety and depth of challenges 
in this field, both researchers and practitioners need to espouse a 
broad understanding of communication and culture that transcends 
conventional approaches. Therefore, this series will solicit manuscripts 
that link communication and cultural processes to the exercise of 
fundamental human and citizen’s rights and the empowerment of citizens 
in making decisions about change and other development-related issues. 
The series features contributions from well-respected scholars and 
practitioners in the field who address different communication and 
cultural dimensions and questions on current global/local change and 
development issues. The contributions propose an understanding of 
communication and culture as collective actions to redress social 
inequalities and development challenges.
