Local In Global. Adult Learning and Community Development

Nowawadays we frequently speak of globalization when we want to refer to the increasing flow of goods, services, technology and capital. The thematic of globalization has been broadly studied for its wideness and multidisciplinarity. Researchers of all areas approach and relate the globalization phenomenon to their areas of study. The globalization definitions are innumerable, all different and already much debated. As referred by Francisco Ramos, "the globalization is a board of vocabulary salvation, totalizing, umbrella-concept, that is very useful".
