“…Jim Dator (2006) describes globalization as "the complete range of forces and elements that are traveling across the whole world totally unobstructed, or hardly hindered by frontiers and states policies". Based on Pooch's (2016) writings, the economist Theodore Levitt first used "globalization" in 1983. The word has been employed in common literature since the middle eighties and got its exposure in the nineties where it has been mostly linked to the economy.…”

Violent extremism is a key challenge to security in most parts of the world. This has become particularly the case as globalization facilitates violent extremism through global media coverages as well as global economic finance that provide strategic access to violent extremist groups. At the same time, preventing violent extremism in the era of globalization has also become possible as collaborations between governments, international organizations and civil societies increased. Yet, it remains critical to identify strategies that have proven most effective in undermining and preventing violent extremism. In this thesis we examine the lessons learned from global efforts to counter the media and finance campaign of ISIS as to draw a comprehensive integrated strategy for PVE. The significance of the study stems from the fact that global strategizing efforts are needed to pay greater emphasis on the media and finance, specifically in weak and vulnerable states. The lessons extracted from the struggle against ISIS on both media and finance fronts demonstrate ways to strengthen youth resilience to stand against violent extremists’ appeal and recruits on both media and finance fronts.

Literature on market participation via location‐based mobile dating apps (LBMDAs) typically engages two different perspectives: global and local. While global perspectives anticipate similarities resulting from cultural homogenization (i.e., LBMDA profiles should exhibit uniformity in otherwise diverse locations), local perspectives anticipate differences resulting from cultural heterogenization (i.e., LBMDA profiles should exhibit variability by location). Although existing research recognizes how technology amplifies both homogenization and heterogenization, the direction of its effects remains unclear. Scholars also treat these processes as diametrically opposed, despite the theoretical and empirical limitations of doing so. This review addresses these limitations through an alternative conceptual framework that triangulates existing literature on globalization, technology, and sexualities. Specifically, I use this framework to explore the mix of global/local influences on exchanges on LBMDAs for gay men/men who have sex with men in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. In doing so, I demonstrate one way to more accurately map the extent to which globalization affects sexual culture across countries while accounting for the unique situational conditions of local sexual cultures.
