Global Uprising: Global Uprising.

Shirley Baboolal


Jeffrey Williams has reminded us that the first era of globalization in the period 1870-1914 was brought to a halt by a 'global backlash' as well as the impact of the first world war and its consequences. Huntington has also talked about 'the clash of civilizations'. Globalization is often associated with the exercise of the US power in many anti-globalist circles and this also fuels the potential of a backlash. Some even blame the USA for the current levels of world inequality.(Brian Snowdon).


Question - Do you fear the potential consequences for world economic progress of these development?
