EDITORIAL

Abstract

In today’s tightly interconnected world, the complexity of global and local dynamics emerges with particular clarity in the realm of education, culture, and social groups, where glocal tensions challenge the rigid universal frameworks and demand nuanced, context-specific adaptations. In an era shaped by rapid technological change, widening social inequalities and shifting geopolitical landscapes, educational systems and institutions worldwide face mounting pressure to rethink how learning is designed, delivered and anchored in lived experience. This issue of Glocalism. Journal of Culture, Politics and Innovation investigates these topics by examining how global dynamics intersect with local specificities to shape pedagogical models, redefine cultural belonging and influence political agency of societal groups. The contributions herein offer specialised analyses across various disciplines, collectively enhancing our understanding of social structures in the contemporary glocal world.
