Erik Swyngedouw argues that the concept of globalisation should be reinterpreted as 'glocalisation', a process where institutional and regulatory arrangements shift between national, global, and local scales, while economic activities become both localised and transnational. This process reshapes social power dynamics and highlights the importance of scale in political and economic struggles. The 'global' in much literature often obscures the ongoing socio-spatial conflicts, particularly the reconfiguration of spatial scales. 'Glocalisation' rescales both economic flows and territorial governance, requiring a 'politics of scale' to address resistance against de-territorialisation and re-territorialisation of capital. The article critiques the dominant neoliberal discourse of globalisation as a 'Pensée Unique', a hegemonic ideology that marginalises alternative visions. It emphasizes the dynamic, process-based nature of social life and the role of scale in shaping power geometries. The historical geography of capitalism shows that globalisation is not a new phenomenon but a continuation of long-standing spatial processes. The article also discusses the 'Fordist' production of scale and its contradictions, leading to the post-Fordist 'glocalisation' conundrum, where economic networks and territorial governance are rescaled. The rescaling of the economy and governance is central to understanding the current dynamics of globalisation and the need for a 'politics of scale' to address the challenges of de-territorialisation and re-territorialisation.Erik Swyngedouw argues that the concept of globalisation should be reinterpreted as 'glocalisation', a process where institutional and regulatory arrangements shift between national, global, and local scales, while economic activities become both localised and transnational.
