#deglobalization
Yes, I used to be so much into this! Armchair deglobalization at its best.
The more exotic the better, so prayer-heavy Sahelian stations like radio.garden/listen/radio... are high on my list.

tariffs are not the cause of the impending global depression... Demographics and deglobalization are the two forces driving this collapse. It has been baked into the system since the world urbanized and industrialized nearly a century ago

And for everybody currently writing and thinking about deglobalization but overlooking its linguistic dimensions - I think you should go talk to a linguist 🙂
November 26, 2025 at 12:56 AM
Anyway, my advice to linguists (inc sociolinguists, applied linguists & ling anths)is: read up on deglobalization. Even if you don't think globalization is a really happening thing (I do), there is good critical literature on the topic you can engage with:

The Specter of Deglobalization
The post-Cold War era witnessed intense globalization, evident in expanding links between countries in economic, technological, demographic, and cultural areas. Today there is increasing fear that glo...

And this fantastic open access book has a great chapter discussing deglobalization:

Globalization by Manfred Steger, Roland Benedikter, Harald Pechlaner, Ingrid Kofler - Paper
Scholarship is a powerful tool for changing how people think, plan, and govern. By giving voice to bright minds and bold ideas, we seek to foster understanding and drive progressive change.

There are also good open access books that explore deglobalization, for example, this book published by the World Society Foundation — “After Globalization: The Future of World Society”...

There have also been a few deglobalization special issues and forums in various journals in the last few years, where you can find a range of perspectives on the topic.

There's this 2024 forum in “Dialogues in Society”...

And there's a more recent contribution (2022) on migration and deglobalization in the Annual Review of Political Science:

Immigration and Globalization (and Deglobalization)
Immigration policy is often portrayed as a zero-sum trade-off between labor and capital or between high- and low-skilled labor. Many have attributed the rise of populist politicians and populist movem...

The Annual Review journals are always a great source of emerging trends and debates. You can find some early writing about deglobalization in Annual Review of Financial Economics...

Deglobalization: The Rise of Disembedded Unilateralism
There is some evidence of deglobalization in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The economic data are mixed and indicate a stall, but not a collapse, of globalization. Cross-border financial ...

Jess & I put forward our own ideas about how linguists can engage with deglobalization in our article, but there's also been HEAPS of (non-linguistic) writing about deglobalization since we finished writing. Let's take a look.

In the same way that an earlier generation of linguists (of all sorts) engaged with the concept of globalization, linguists today need to think about deglobalization as a force that is reconfiguring our world and its languages.
November 26, 2025 at 12:40 AM
The concept of deglobalization as we know it today mostly responds to trends that have emerged out of these two events & overlooks the term's earlier meaning.

What happened between 2004 and 2024 to drive this shift in how people talk about and imagine deglobalization? There were two key events.
November 26, 2025 at 12:36 AM
20 years later, in 2024, economist Edward Ashbee also published a book called "Deglobalization." In his book, 'deglobalization' is not a goal, it is a process that is already happening. And, it is not necessarily linked to a project of economic justice.

What is deglobalization?

In 2004, political theorist, activist, and politician Walden Bello published a book titled "Deglobalization." In it, he saw deglobalization as a GOAL: a destination to works towards as part of a project of global economic justice.

In Sept this year, Jess Kruk & I published an article in @languageinsociety.bsky.social titled "Towards a Sociolinguistics of Deglobalization". I'm going to introduce some literature on deglobalization here & I hope linguists of all sorts will engage with it.

I'm a fan of 'big tent' linguistics & I'd like to see a linguistics tent copious enough to make space for people like me: a political anthropologist who researchers languages. This thread on the sociolinguistics of deglobalization will hopefully give you a sense of what I have in mind.

Happy World Linguistics Day! Here's a short thread on the sociolinguistics of deglobalization.

Deglobalization Cost: 📦 Supply chains are fracturing. US vs. China tech bans are hurting revenues on both sides. 🇺🇸🇨🇳 This isn't just politics; it's a margin compressor for Tech. Efficiency is out; "Resiliency" is in. And resiliency is expensive. 💸🏗️ #SupplyChain #Tech #TradeWar
