In the last three decades the field of media studies has witnessed an exponential growth of publications and research on globalization, alongside critical examinations of the “national” in terms of media systems, content and reception. Even more recently, there has been an increasing critical interest in the ways in which global processes, and especially the global circulation of media texts, can encourage a cosmopolitanist outlook or identity for citizens across the world. As a concept that responds both to the global and the national in denoting the ability ‘to be able to live in both the global and the local at the same time’ (Tomlinson 1999), cosmopolitanism is increasingly seen as an alternative ideological response to globalisation, even as the latter has been increasingly associated with ideas of crisis, disaster, terrorism, and risk.
