A Multidimensional Perspective of the Anti-globalization and Alter- globalization Trend of Thought
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The anti-globalization trend of thought is a new form of politics and ideology and needs to be examined from multi-dimensional perspectives. Philosophically, anti-globalization demonstrates the profound contradictions and conflicts of globalization; Politically, it is a radical political movement to oppose capitalism; Economically, it reveals the negative effects of the global expansion of multinational corporations (MNCs); Technologically, it is the queer result of modern science and technology; Culturally, it is a manifestation of deconstructing the mainstream discourse of the West, Socially, it is a substitute way of trying to solve global issues; and internationally, anti-globalization is a way of opposing the American hegemonism. It seems to be that globalization may very well be a positive thing for the world community basically, but not without some change in the way it is being carried out now.
