| | Class number: | 303.482 | | Abstract: | Much has been made of the consequences for globalization of the cataclysmic events of 11 September 2001. Some observers have proclaimed the events mark the end of globalization, while others suggest they symbolize the beginning of the post-globalization era. As the reassertion of geopolitics and state power has come to dominate international responses to 11 September, it is tempting to conclude that globalization has now reached its historical limits. Such a conclusion, however, overlooks the manifold ways in which the very responses to the events are themselves products of, and conditional upon, a globalizing world. As Stanley Hoffmann has phrased it, the world after 11 September confronts not so much the end of globalization as a growing 'clash of globalizations' (Hoffmann 2002). Although the war on terrorism may have displaced it from the media spotlight, the great globalization debate continues apace, no longer just on the streets and in the academy but increasingly within the citadels of global power. Paradoxically, in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the United States - the principal architect and icon of a globalizing world - making sense of globalization, and its implications for the twenty-first-century world order, has become a more, rather than less, urgent intellectual and political task. | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=4847 |
