Football, Globalization and Glocalization

Abstract

Globalization became the buzz-word of our era. Interestingly, it is stated only seldom that\rglobalization involves numerous local impacts. Indeed, particular manifestations of global\rprocesses can be contemplated in concrete localities and polarity between the global and the\rlocal is not accurate. The main objective of this article is to discuss the socioeconomic\rnexuses between global processes and localities. Taking into account contemporary\rsocioeconomic developments, we are increasingly entitled to talk about the process of\rglocalization that involves both global and local aspects. Global and local represent two sides\rof the same coin and the nature of contemporary spatio-temporal processes may be better\runderstood by recognizing and analyzing socioeconomic aspects of glocalization.
