Despite being in a global working environment their occupational identity are truly locally constructed. The paper is originally prepared for the dr.polit course ’The Sociology of Globalization: The Emergence of a Global Society or Globaloney?’, University of Oslo. The paper has been written as part of Østrengs doctoral research project in Sociology ’Interethnic communication among sailors’.
