		The process of glocalization means that San Francisco and other U.S. cities must brace to fend for themselves in the context of a newly emerging international governing structure and an increasingly impotent, indifferent and vestigial nation-state.
		For most cities, however, glocalization is bad news: bigger problems, fewer resources, no help from the feds, increasingly vicious intercity competition, and the dwindled status of powerless places dominated by the placeless power of global business and finance.

		The concept of ‘glocalization’ provides the ownership to the local church as we expand the vision of being a global church.
		Third, the 'glocalization from below' is about creating the transcultural reality in the world by distributing equal access to freedom, justice, and choice for all people regardless of their culture and social status.
		‘Glocalization from below’ demands the courage to take a risk and to listen carefully to the voices of people since 'hearing difficult voices is often hearing prophetic voices.' 'Glocalization from below' can help the local church to set the agenda in their own terms.

		Glocalization has been used in the business environment since the late 1980s meaning the adjustment of products, so they fit in other cultures than the companys home culture.
		So glocalization is a dual process, for which Robertson also uses the term interpenetration simultaneously constituting universalizing and particularizing leading to homogenization and indegenousation.
		Taking this approach thinking of glocalization as mediation between glocalization and one specific culture becomes meaningless, since local cultures must from the starting point be defined in relation to other local cultures.

	Glocalization: The future of international business or just another buzzword? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Glocalization is the strategy of being global but at the same time, being responsive to local needs and conditions.
		The key element to implementing a successful glocalization strategy is to move away from the notion of consistency—the notion that everything should be exactly the same across world markets—to a notion of coherence.
		It is not only McDonald's that is glocalizing but also some of the world's most respected companies such as Honda, Yahoo and Coca-Cola are already adopting glocalization as a key element of their business strategy.

	Global Massive: The Glocalization of Jungle/Drum'n'Bass (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As a concept, glocalization seeks to find a center between several opposing pairs: heterogeneity and homogeneity, universality and particularism, globalism and locality.
		Robertson proposes that “globalization--in the broadest sense, the compression of the world--has involved and increasingly involves the creation and incorporation of locality, processes which themselves shape, in turn, the compression of the world as a whole” (1995: 40).
		Looking at this international evolution, Robertson’s idea of glocalization, more than being a term or a process, might even be described as a dialectic; the local and the global are two simultaneous forces, at once complementary and opposing, generating change and innovation.

		Glocalization is a term that was invented in order to emphasize that the globalization of a product is more likely to succeed when the product or service is adapted specifically to each locality or culture it is marketed in.
		According to the sociologist Roland Robertson, who is credited with popularizing the term, glocalization describes the tempering effects of local conditions on global pressures.
		Perhaps even more illustrative of glocalization: For promotions in France, the restaurant chain recently chose to replace its familiar Ronald McDonald mascot with Asterix the Gaul, a popular French cartoon character.

	Comments on the "Global Triad" and "Glocalization" (Roland ROBERTSON)
		Because "glocalization" means the simultaneity --- the co-presence --- of both universalizing and particularizing tendencies.
		As we sometimes say, the game goes on, so the next time this issue is discussed, there will again be controversy, there will perhaps forever be controversy, but my main point is that the tussle between the particular and the universal will go on and on.
		But the basic idea of glocalization is the simultaneous promotion of what is, in one sense, a standardized product, for particular markets, in particular flavors, and so on.

	apophenia: Why Web2.0 Matters: Preparing for Glocalization
		In the real world, whether you are thinking about global-local in terms of geography, culture or whatever, power relations are inescapable and they prevent glocalization being a genuinely two-way process.
		For example, the way the World Bank use the term, they are thinking about ways of promoting and trading with cities independent of the countries and governments in which they are based.
		The best we can do, I think, is to strip the tools of cultural assumptions as far as possible and then make them as hackable as they can be, so that we don't even need to take a guess at how local groups or actors will use them.

		With so many moving parts it can at this particular point in time be difficult to expect the field of pioneer-theorizing and defining of glocalization to have long-term validity.
		I feel, glocalization or not, we have to search for answer to the question: Who is in the driving seat, and what are the criteria defining it?
		At least I think history is one of the healthy glocalizing ways of dealing with globalization.
