Globalization

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper explains that Gallic cultural 'softness', encapsulated in the drive against the 'challenges' of globalization
is a logic predicated on female principles rather than the masculine principle, one characterized by globalization---"might makes right". The author points out that one cannot have globalization without first having the concept that what one nations has is better than what another country has; implicit in this concept is the idea that the subordinate nation will be dragged, kicking and screaming, into parity with the superior nation or nation. The paper concludes that the modern world no longer has the divine right of kings with which to justify imperialism; instead, globalism had to be created to justify the divine right of corporations.
