Research Task 4: diversity and glocalisation RT4 investigates the implications that the growing variety and complexity of interactions have for governance and the functioning of organisations and societies. It explores how patterns of cultural diversity affect the international arrangements of social and economic organisations. It also studies the effects of the layered, heterogeneus field in and around organisations and of the multiplicity of actors on the "management of meaning". WHO IS WORKING IN RT4?
