THE DIALECTICS OF MODERNITY. A THEORETICAL INTERPRETATION OF GLOBALIZATION
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Globalization is a field which concerns everyone, and humanity in general in new qualitative and existential ways. In this sense, the legitimate fields of globalization are for example, the issues of ecology, raw materials, migration, global health problems of the world, global positive or negative tendencies of population, energy, arms trading, the drug crisis, or dilemmas of integration and world economy. There is another signifi-cant aspect of globalization as well – and this is the focus of our present work – which does not limit the problems and phenomena of globalization to ‘global issues’ but examines structural and functional connections of the whole new global situation.
