Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Recent years have seen a striking proliferation of the term ‘global’ in public, political and political studies discourse world-wide. ‘Global’ has come to constitute a significant political currency; it has come to be one of the discourse-shaping terms today. Yet, reflection on the diverse applications of the term ‘global’ and the ideas that are associated with it has been rare. ‘Global’ is naturalised, meaning that it is taken for granted. The ‘naturalisation’ of the term ‘global’ is problematic, though, because the idea of ‘global’ potentially challenges traditional perceptions of socio-political reality and addresses the important social coordinates of ‘we’ and ‘them’; at the same time it (potentially) blurs power relations and particular interests in that it covers them in (supposedly) all-embracing, ‘global’ terms. Based on a post-structuralist understanding of the relation between reality, linguistic signs and meanings this paper advocates a critical attitude towards the world-wide powerful political currency ‘global’. Which ideas are associated with ‘global’ and by whom are they promoted? Given that prominent (Northern) civil society groups, such as Greenpeace, Amnesty International, Oxfam, WWF, serve as ‘signifying agents’ and have come to gain significant discursive power in the contemporary ‘global’ political discourse, this paper applies a computer assisted content analysis to the communication output of these groups in order to investigate and to reveal how they use the term ‘global’ and in which way they contribute to the discursive construction of (the coordinates of) our contemporary ‘global’ world.
