description: Charts a conceptual framework for understanding emerging patterns of global politics and communication. Tehranian (international communications, U. of Hawaii at Manoa) captures a wide range of discourses on the contradictory processes of globalism and its nemesis in equally powerful localist, nationalist, regionalist, feminist, environmentalist, and spiritualist trends. He considers informatic imperialism, the historical transition from premodern to modern societies and its corresponding evolutionary processes, the rise of postcolonial national elites, "pancapitalism," and the rise of cultural and political resistance against global hegemonies.
