Abstract

Globalization, i.e. the spatio-temporal processes of change leading to a transformation in the organization of human affairs, is said to have started as long ago as the end of the 15th century. This first wave of globalization was subsequently followed by two others. The third wave of globalization, which began after 2000, has made the world noticeably smaller. In fact, technological innovations have sharply increased the availability of new modes and channels of communication. As a result, t...

Abstract

Globalization has been the topic of heated debate in recent years, with one side asserting that it will produce a better standard of living for people around the world, and a fierce opposition arguing that it will ultimately lead to greater poverty and the destruction of unique human cultures. Varieties of World Making tackles the issue from a different angle, proposing that the contemporary global network of business, politics and culture be viewed from the inter-disciplinary perspective of 'world making'. Drawn from the ranks of sociology, law, international relations, political philosophy and history, the distinguished contributors cut through polarized rhetoric to examine the current global situation. Their proposed diagnoses draw upon thoughtful analyses of various political dilemmas whose ripple effects are felt around the world, such as the volatile relationship between Islam and Europe, or the legal foundations for a true international order absent in the shadows of imperialism. Varieties of World Making will be an essential resource for all those grappling with the complex consequences of globalization for the future.

Abstract

Pour cohabiter pacifiquement malgré les différences, il faut commencer par appréhender l'altérité, la comprendre sur plusieurs plans : philosophique, culturel, religieux, etc. Le présent volume veut illustrer ces différents angles d'approche. Il s'attache à décrire les enjeux et les obstacles de la cohabitation culturelle à l'heure de la mondialisation. Si l'on veut lutter contre l'intolérance, il faut comprendre que la cohabitation culturelle est devenue l'enjeu majeur du xxie siècle.
