Globalization

Sources and Effects on National States and Societies

John W. Meyer

Stanford University

The world polity and cultural system are relatively stateless, but they legitimate strong nation-state identities as the dominant actors. This produces very strong tendencies for the adoption of common models of modernity, despite extraordinary differences in resources and local culture. Local distinctiveness is also legitimated, so long as it is not inconsistent with homogeneity on the main dimensions of stratification and identity.

Key Words: actor identities • decoupling • global models • glocalization • legitimation
