>>The multiple processes that constitute economic globalization
>>inhabit and shape specific structurations of the economic, the
>>political, the cultural, the subjective. In so doing, new
>>spatialities and temporalities are produced. These new spatialities
>>and temporalities of the global do not stand outside the national.
>>They are partly inserted in the national and hence evince complex
>>imbrications with the latter. This is especially so because, in my
>>reading, the global is itself partial, albeit strategic. The global
>>cannot (at least for now) fully encompass the lived experience of
>>actors or the domain of institutional orders and cultural
>>formations; it remains a partial condition. As a result the outcome
>>of these multiple imbrications between the national and the global
>>is overlap and interaction rather than mutual exclusivity. The
>>extent to which there is overlap and interaction is perhaps one of
>>the marking features of the current era.
