Some Contrarian Perspectives on the Political Consequences of Globalization

David E. Apter, Henry J. Heinz II, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Sociology, Yale University

Abstract

This article traces the recent history of anti-globalization protest and suggests deeper, structural sources for political and economic resistance. Namely, the globalization of economic relations has carried with it a promotion of "negative pluralism" on the political, cultural and social levels. A new, pragmatic form of ethics is needed to recast the structural relationship between political and economic globalization in a positive direction.
