Global Cultural Politics

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the many dimensions of the globalization process. The paper specifically examines how globalization stands at the basis of all connections, whether they are at the level of societies, of cultural aspects, of national identities or of political dialogue.

From the Paper:

"The issue of globalization has had an important impact on the way in which cultures have developed. This is one of the reasons for which Samuel Huntington argued that the next wars would be led along the lines between the civilizations, rather than for the traditional reasons of the old type of wars. More precisely, he considers that these forces of globalization, therefore the neo-liberalist tendency, create certain economic discrepancies which are visible at the local level through the increase in the perception of the rich world versus the poor world."
