Robinson's Theses |
It's very, very bad. "There is no good and evil, there is only power" Radical/Marxist case Claims: 1. globalization has been here for a while - we used to call it colonialism. It didn't work well back then either 2. Today's globalization gives zero-sum outcomes (some benefit a lot and some benefit not at all) to a few and not much else for others (leads to redivision of labor and de facto population - de facto disregards law and accepts society for all practical purposes) 3. Warfare and species crisis are the results Robinson is a hyperglobalist - but the news is all bad instead of all good

Lechner's 3 Waves of Globalization |
First wave (1400s-1600s): Europe was armed, America wasn't. Lots of disease Trading of: slaves, bulk goods, tobacco, sugar Ex: Jamaica - sugar production; became economically sound once slave trade was introduced Second wave (1850s-1914): People view themselves as members of an international world Industry, cash crops, migration Change is happening fast Countries are getting richer and richer Industrialization begins, communication is easier (phone), and workforce grows Ex: North Dakota - built railroad, and settlers followed. This new transportation led to booming wheat fields by the tracks in ND Third wave (1945-?): Where we are now Diffusion of multiple tastes around the world Interdependence of diff. groups of people Organization across global lines Culture and consciousness that binds people New institutions, food, technology Ex: McDonald's in East Asia - once introduced, started popping up everywhere Very popular - the "cool American place"

Barber's Claims |
"Schizophrenic" view of globalization After Cold War people shift away from state-centric mode of analysis They adopt "systems theory" (names the ways in which global systems cut across borders and shape political outcomes) Barber has 3 points: 1. The world is split by two forces - tribalism and globalization (Jihad vs. McWorld) 2. These tendencies have been going on for a while, but more so since the Cold War 3. These tendencies are opposed and impossible to be compatible with each other

Huntington's Arguments |
Huntington suggests civilizational conflicts will dominate the future Arguments: People define themselves with ethnicity/religion and it becomes "Us vs. Them" with people of different ethnicities/religions All of this builds of existing patterns of conflict Power, influence, and control are zero-sum games (what one side gets, the other loses) 1. Diff. among civilizations are basic (language, etc.) 2. The world is getting smaller (more interaction) 3. Modernization and social change are separating people from local identity 4. Growth of civilization consciousness is enhanced by the West (peak of power) 5. Cultural diff. are less mutable - not as easily resolved 6. Economic regionalism (trade) is increasing |
