What’s on the Three Positions poster
A 3-row table: Position · Claim · On the state.
Held's typology of positions in the globalisation debate.
- Hyperglobalist — A single global economy — Losing power
- Sceptic — Regional, not global; not new — Still central
- Transformationalist — Real but uneven change — Reconstituted
Sceptics note the pre-1914 world was highly integrated too, and that most trade remains regional rather than global.

- Who is the Three Positions poster for?
- Three Positions belongs to the Sociology section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning globalisation can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Three Positions poster?
- When a debate turns on how much has actually changed, not on whether change is good. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Three Positions belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Three Positions?
- Risk Society, Culture: Flat or Plural and What Globalisation Means sit alongside Three Positions in the Sociology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Risk SocietyCulture: Flat or PluralWhat Globalisation Means
- Is the Three Positions poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Three Positions downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Sociology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Three Positions poster print at?
- Three Positions is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Three Positions loses nothing.Printing guide
