Timeline

1938

Roland Robertson (August 7, 1938 - April 29, 2022) was a sociologist and theorist of globalization who lectured at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.

1985

In 1985, he was the first sociologist to use the term globalization in the title of a sociological article.

1988

Formerly, he was a professor of sociology at the University of Pittsburgh, and in 1988 he was the President of the Association for the Sociology of Religion.

Robertson's theories have focused significantly on a more phenomenological and psycho-social approach than that of more materialist oriented theorists such as Immanuel Wallerstein or Fredric Jameson.

For Robertson, the most interesting aspect of the modern (or postmodern) era is the way in which a global consciousness has developed.

He lays down a progression of "phases" that capture the central aspects of different eras in global history, asserting that the fifth phase, Global Uncertainty, has been reached.

1992

Robertson's main works are Globalization: Social Theory and Global Culture (1992) and the edited volume Global Modernities.

His 1992 definition of globalization as "the compression of the world and the intensification of the consciousness of the world as a whole" has been credited as the first ever definition of globalization, though a more detailed analysis of the history of this term indicates it has many authors.

He is also said to have coined the term glocalization in 1992.
