Chapter Chapter 3 in Global Business in Local Culture, 2018, pp 21-28 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter applies Roland Barthes’ analysis of the mythical accounts that underpinned the belief system of the bourgeois ideology in France during the Cold War period to the contemporary narratives that unite anti-globalization movements today. They have in common a tendency to reduce the complexity of local stories to timeless motives and stereotypes associated with different actors that are either in favor or against the ‘good cause’.
