For example, the British sociologist Roland Robertson, who proposed a similar term "glocalization", argues that the global and local trends "ultimately complementary and interpenetrate each other, although in specific situations may come into conflict"

I myself have been doing research of political culture in relation to political management. Even heard that there is an Italian sociologist F. Sacca , who studies the problem glokalizm in political culture .
first time I heard it was while at LSE on a Summer school on International Political Economy (both in 1994 and 1995, but I do not remember if it was in 1994 or 1995, and which professor uttered it), based on a discussion about Kenichi Ohmae et alii ("think globally, act locally"- hence, glocal)
the focus was on the relationship between multinational corporations and States, and mutual relevance in policy setting
Have a look at this new book, based on neo-Institutional theory:
Drori, Gili S., Markus A. Höllerer, and Peter Walgenbach (eds.). 2013. The
Glocalization of Organization and Management: Global Themes and Local Variations,
Routledge..
Glocalism defines an individual and collective action, which includes a set of measures to return to a simpler life but taking advantage of all available technologies, ultimately, living better with less.

Glocalisation is intergration of the local with the global in the quest for answers to challenges of globalisation.
For a marxist perspective, Eric Swyngedouw wrote a paper on this i think it was in Environment and planning A?
