Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- List of tables -- List of figures -- Introduction: Envisioning the World, Mapping the Global -- From Region to World, and Back Again -- The World of Anti-Semitism -- Envisioning a World Law -- Determining the Global from a Social Work Perspective -- The Revolution in Rojava and the International -- Resisting World Politics on 'Migration and Development'? -- 'Sovereignty' and 'Intervention' -- Russia and the EU in a Multipolar World -- Back from the USSR -- Beyond a Global Horizon -- References -- Notes on Contributors
Summary: The "global" is permanently made and remade by how it is envisioned in political projects, in language, and in literature. Through a range of case studies, this book shows how practices of referring to the world actually constitute the global in its many facets. It aims to provide a sense in readers of how the global is not something "out there", but that it is embedded in a wide range of the seemingly "everyday". The contributions appeal to a readership from a background in Sociology, History, Political Science, Literary Studies, and Social Work.
