Recent social science research has made important changes in our understanding of masculinities and men's gender practices, emphasizing the plurality and hierarchy of masculinities, and their collective and dynamic character. These gains have been achieved mainly by close-focus research methods. But in a globalizing world, we must pay attention also to very large scale structures. An understanding of the world gender order is a necessary basis for thinking about men and masculinities globally. We can trace the emergence of globalizing masculinities at different stages of the history of the world gender order. Hegemony in the contemporary gender order is connected with patterns of trade, investment, and communication dominated by the North. A transnational business masculinity, institutionally based in multinational corporations and global finance markets, is arguably the emerging dominant form on a world scale.

Recent literature in what used to be called men's studies has begun to employ the terms `masculinity' and `masculinities' in an effort to move away from what are perceived as problems with the term `men's studies.' Without arguing for or against this substitution, this article brings out some of the confusions that result from the use of the highly ambiguous terms `masculinity' and `masculinities.' Many different meanings of these terms are identified and conflations of these meanings are illustrated. The concern with the use of such terms as foundational in a new discipline is that they will bring with them the confusions of their many meanings. In so doing, they make the literature less accessible. It may be that the price of using these loaded terms is worth the cost, but at least the costs have been itemized and warnings attached.
