borderless world
For a long time, the globe has
been better ‘integrated’ than we
might have realised;
But it’s also less completely
integrated than we might
think...

borderless world?
Enormous differences amongst
nations, depending on which
measures we use.
Globalisation has diverse impacts.
National boundaries still matter
enormously, even to your
experience of ‘global’.

forms of globalisation
globalisation 12
Acculturation — culture mixing at boundaries; incremental,
gradual process.
Biculturation — accepting the worth of two cultures & a
capacity to move between cultures comfortably &
confidently.
Cultural colonisation — dominant group extracts valuable
cultural resources from other groups.
Cultural imperialism — dominant group’s culture is forced
upon dominated groups.
globalisatio
Transculturation — a new culture mixes elements of
existing cultures or involves innovations.

global or international?
globalisation
20
‘International’ recognises borders and states,
or involves relations between groups identified
by states; whereas
‘Global’ suggests borders and states are not
relevant, either because actors span states or
because distant locations are relevant to us
here and now, without travelling or crossing
borders.

The majority of Australian exchange students
(survey 2010-11) think their friends and
acquaintances are quite culturally
homogeneous. The students mostly interact
with people who are locally-born and
culturally like themselves.
globalisation in
Australia 3
Even students with an active interest in
studying overseas have surprisingly few non
Australian-born acquaintances and even
fewer non Australian-born friends.
globalisatio
Of these same students, many had already
travelled or lived overseas.

Question:
Is it is possible to be both
parochial and globalised at the
same time?
(One possible) answer?
‘Globalisation’ or ‘international
engagement’ through travel or other
means does not necessarily
translate into mixing or meeting with
people of different cultural
backgrounds in one’s own country.

Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World
of Strangers.
cosmopolitanism
Cosmopolitanism is about
how you cope with others,
not about how many
frequent-flyer miles you
rack up or how globetrotting your consumption
is.
It’s about getting used to
people.

Question:
cosmopolitanism 2
How do we relate this to
study abroad and
exchange?
Navigating cultural differences.

‘My semester [abroad] launched me
into a personal and professional
involvement with Spain that has
already lasted 25 years. A political
science lecture in Madrid about U.S.
and Spanish involvement in an
obscure war in Sahara . . . led to a
graduate fellowship to Spain and
North Africa, which led to work as a
foreign correspondent based in Spain.’

‘I can honestly say that my
life has been shaped and
reshaped by my year with
IES. Without the
experience and friends I
made in Nantes, I would
never have taken the
roads and detours that
have led to such a
fascinating life and career.’
