===== Date and country of first publication<ref>Date and country of first publication as informed by the Scopus database (December 2023).</ref>===== 2017<br> Sweden ===== Definition ===== Glocal segregation is a term that combines the words "global" and "local" to describe a form of social segregation that occurs on both a global and local scale. It refers to the separation and division of people based on various social factors such as race, class, religion, or nationality, leading to unequal access to resources, opportunities, and social integration. On a global level, glocal segregation can be observed in the unequal distribution of wealth, power, and resources among different countries and regions. Global economic and political systems often reinforce and perpetuate these inequalities, resulting in substantial disparities in living standards and quality of life between nations. On a local level, glocal segregation is evident in the way communities and neighborhoods are geographically divided along socio-economic lines. Certain areas become concentrated with populations of a particular race, ethnicity, or economic class, while other areas remain predominantly homogeneous. This segregation can lead to limited access to quality education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and social services for those residing in marginalized communities. Glocal segregation has significant implications for social cohesion, as it can foster the development of social, economic, and cultural barriers that hinder communication and understanding between different groups. It can perpetuate stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination, further deepening divisions within society. Efforts to address glocal segregation often involve promoting policies and initiatives that aim to reduce inequalities, foster diversity, and promote social inclusion. This may include promoting equal access to education, affordable housing, healthcare, and employment opportunities, as well as encouraging dialogue, empathy, and understanding between different social groups. ==See also== ==References== ==Notes== <references /> {{NoteAI}} ==Glocal segregation appears in the following literature== Turunen P.
