This Masters thesis conducts an ideological critique of the way 'the global' is constructed conceptually, particularly by transformative politics and the anti/alter global left. In addition it attempts to foreground the importance of ontological inquiry as an essential component of effective ideological critique. It has four chapters(plus an intro and conclusion); The first chapter looks at the ways that globality is currently constructed conceptually, both as an object of study by academia, and as an object of intervention by the global left. The analysis and critique in this chapter will establish the need for an ontologically informed approach to globality. The second chapter explores the precise meaning of the term 'ontology' as well as some of its common misuses by social science. It will focus on examining the ways that ontology is inherently political, and can be infiltrated by ideology. The third chapter draws heavily from the work of Zizek to develop a theoretical model for understanding the ontological production of globality, and how ideology is implicated. The fourth chapter attempts to take the conclusions from the theoretical model and use them to suggest alternative approaches to globality which might better the prospects for an effective transformative `global` politics. In particular this chapter draws heavily upon the Deleuzean notion of Immanence.

Em 2004, a Lei nº 10.861 institui o Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior (SINAES) com objetivo de assegurar processo nacional de avaliação das IES, dos cursos de graduação e do desempenho de seus estudantes. Este Sistema abarca uma diversidade de IES, dentre elas os Centros Federais de Educação Tecnológica (CEFETs) que compõem a Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica. A pesquisa tem como principal objetivo analisar a implementação da autoavaliação institucional no âmbito das IES que compõem a Rede Federal de Educação Tecnológica – os CEFETs – a partir dos pressupostos de autonomia, globalidade e participação preconizados pelo SINAES, no período de 2004 a 2009. Com o aporte teórico da avaliação e das categorias teóricas – autonomia, globalidade e participação – propõe-se um Modelo de Análise que subsidiou o estudo de caso coletivo, a análise documental e dos dados que emergem da pesquisa empírica por meio de entrevistas com os coordenadores das Comissões Próprias de Avaliação (CPAs) dos CEFETs. A pesquisa revelou que as CPAs exercem relativa autonomia na condução do processo avaliativo; os CEFETs avançam na compreensão de que uma análise global e integrada da instituição significa avaliar todas as modalidades e níveis de ensino em todos os campi; a participação dos segmentos internos e externos nas etapas da avaliação interna é um fator crítico na realização da autoavaliação para garantir a continuidade do processo avaliativo. / Salvador

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, surtout à partir du début des années 1960, et jusqu’à la fin des années 1980, plusieurs projets de recherche sur le futur ont été menés par des équipes internationales avec pour objectif la promotion d’une « conscience globale », soit un sentiment d'appartenance à une communauté humaine unique partageant un destin commun. Cette thèse examine certains de ces projets, en particulier ceux qui sont menés au sein d’organisations internationales appartenant au système des Nations Unies. Elle démontre que la pratique de la prospective a été, pendant la guerre froide, source de nouvelles conceptions du monde.Les recherches menées se situent à la croisée de plusieurs champs historiographiques dont les trois principaux sont l’histoire du futur, l’histoire intellectuelle transnationale et l’histoire de la globalité. Elles s’articulent autour de la problématique suivante : comment les études sur le futur menées au sein du système onusien pendant la guerre froide ont-elles contribué à faire émerger et à défendre certaines conceptions du global, faisant du futur du monde à la fois une catégorie d’exploration scientifique et une catégorie d’action pour un ensemble d’acteurs internationaux ? / After the Second World War, in particular from the 1960s to the 1980s, several futures studies projects were conducted by international teams. Their goal was to promote the shaping of a « global consciousness » : the sense of belonging to a unique human community sharing a common destiny. This dissertation analyzes some of those projects, particularly those that were conducted within the united nations system. It shows that futurology created new ways of envisioning the world during the Cold War.

This thesis investigates Swedish people’s experiences following the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar from a globality, cosmopolitanism, and cosmopolitanization perspective. The 2022 World Cup was controversial due to allegations of human rights violations in preparations for the Cup in Qatar as well as allegations of corruption within the FIFA organization. As a result, this thesis investigates how Swedish people's experiences may have been affected. This research seeks a link between a potential global mindset originating from globalization and the experiences of Swedish people following the Cup. Theories of globality, cosmopolitanism, and cosmopolitanization are all used to explore this. This thesis uses data from semi-structured interviews. Based on the data, this thesis concludes that awareness of human rights does affect Swedish people following the World Cup and that the media plays the most significant role in raising consciousness. Also, this thesis concludes that globality, cosmopolitanism, and cosmopolitanization may all be related to respondents' experiences or future visions of the Cup.

本文旨在檢視並反思國家中心論之相關觀點與命題，概括而言，即對國家在國際關係理論構成體系中呈現必然性及優越性進行理論檢視及意義探索，國家中心論內涵包括：國家係國際政治關鍵行為者？國家係國際事務核心決策者？等強勢論述。許多檢視國家中心論文獻雖可清楚指出其在解釋國際政治之不足與限制，或從批判觀點根本性否定國家中心論真實性與正當性，惟專就國家這個概念主體進行討論，其研究成果往往流於空泛言談，並無法明確地指出國家中心論核心論述受到檢驗的面向，因而流於道德勸說式的規範論述，亦無法建立明確分析架構。鑒此，本論文盼建立具解釋效益之分析架構，首先將檢視關於國家中心論涉及基本命題，續將透過檢視主權、安全及國際體系等論述之變遷，探討國家中心論如何受到檢驗過程，亦可呈現社會科學後實證主義對理論基本命題所致論述轉移（discourse shift）
