Abstract

Anxieties of the Globallobalization is certainly a source of anxiety in the U.S. academic world.And the sources of this anxiety are many: Social scientists (especially economists) worry about whether markets and deregulation produce greater wealth at the price of increased inequality.Political scientists worry that their field might vanish along with their favorite object, the nation-state, if globalization truly creates a "world without borders."Cultural theorists, especially cultural Marxists, worry that in spite of its conformity with everything they already knew about capital, there may be some embarrassing new possibilities for equity hidden in its workings.Historians, ever worried about the problem of the new, realize that globalization may not be a member of the familiar archive of large-scale historical shifts.And everyone in the academy is anxious to avoid seeming to be a mere publicist of the gigantic corporate machineries that celebrate globalization.Product differentiation is as important for (and within) the academy as it is for the corporations academics love to hate.Outside the academy there are quite different worries about globalization that include such questions as: What does globalization mean for labor markets and Public Culture 12(1): 1-19

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
