Department of Political Science. University of Mysore. India * E-mail: abbastabar2011( ~gmail.cor abastabar2002pavahoo.com Abstract Discourse theory is a main and important theory in analyzing political and social matters and affairs. Discursive analyzing of globalization is a new subject in debate of globalization. Globalization is a multidimensional new phenomenon which has more affection in many dimensions of politics, culture, social and economic of human life. Nowadays, there are many theories and views of globalization in different scopes. So according to discourse theory my hypothesis in this article is; Globalization is arena competition of discourses which one of them could be dominated on others. There are many thoughts in discourse theory but the theory of Laclao and Muafe is more suitable in discursive analyzing of globalization. Keywords: Discourse, Globalization, Discursive Struggle Globalization. 1. Introduction The phenomenon of globalization as a new paradigm, in influence of economic evolutions, has changed human societies excellently since half century past. In late decades, the scientific and academic societies, especially political science, and some other matters like political systems, states, and democracy, has conceptual redefined by globalization. Nowadays the word globalization has been a current term in various contexts in the world. And it caused mental disturbance for many literates and scholars in politics, economic and culture contexts. Definition of globalization due to its multidimensional nature is very difficult. But the common definition of it is; a process of similarity and integration of human in the worldwide (awareness or ignorant) under influence of increase and extension of information and communications technology, and compaction of time and space. Globalization with removing geographical, social and political barriers has created facility integration of thoughts and ideologies. So, all theories and thoughts in the world try to dominate on others. Globalization has caused competition of discourses of globalization in the world. 2. Discourse Analyze Discourse theory addresses to study the role of meaningful social opinions and actions in political life. This theory studies the method in which conceptual awareness ways of their roles in the society and analyzes the effectiveness method of these conceptual systems (disciplines) or discourses on political activities. Discourses should not be considered as ideology in its traditional and limited concept (i.e. a set of opinions and ideas by which social actors justify and demonstrate their organized social actions and practices).Discourse concept encompasses all kinds of political and social practices. (Hogarth, 2000, P2)This theory is based on pre- assumptions and assumptions which are (include) as follows: * Different people (human- beings) view to the single (unit) speech or technique in different ways. * In discourse analyses, truth and lie (true and false) are suspended. * The test should be viewed in lieu of a meaningful whole. * No text is impartial (unbiased). * Truth is made by discourse. In views of Laclau and Miuffe, discourses form our assumption (image) from the reality and the world an in their opinions, understanding political and social affairs and generally real world is just possible within (inside) discourse structures. Discourse theory of Laclau and Miuffe emphasizes on the file of language in representation and also creation of social reality (fact). Therefore, access to reality is possible just through the language. Of course, representation of language through reality means never the existence of pre- existed and concrete (objective) reality (fact), because it is only the language which creates the reality. The world is the product of discourses. Of course, they don't deny the existence of reality but they believe that the realities (facts) are meant just through the discourses. (Laclau & Moffe, 1985) Distinguish aspect of Laclau and Miuffe's discourse analysis from the other discourse theories is discourse movement from culture and philosophy domain (field) to the society and politics.
