So, how to define?
How to define?
I would say, first that globalization implies three symptoms,
and I would like to approach globalization through these three symptoms.
The first one is inclusion.
For the first time in the world history, we are all in the same boat.
That's to say, humanity is entirely included in the same arena,
is playing on a unique arena and this is really new.
This is really a new aspect of the world order that we
didn't meet in the precedent steps of the human history.
And that means, if we are in an including world, there is no center.
That's to say, no possibility to conceive the center,
even in the general, on this new global world.
The second symptom of globalization is to be found in mobility.
We are in the world of communication.
We are in a world of transportation.
We are in a world in which people are more and
more able to move, and also to transgress the border lines.
Mobility is a new parameter which is challenging the traditional order,
which is made of statism, of stability and of territorial stability.
We are no more in a territorial world, but in a world of mobility.
And the third symptom is interdependence.
We are depending on each other.
That means that the weak is still depending on the strong, but
that means something much more important.
That with globalization, now, the strong is also depending on the weak.
This is quite new and that's why I say that the concept of power is now
challenged, and power is getting powerless.
Can you see in a world order how a small state,
how's very weak collectivity is able
to control, to make pressure,
to contain the strengths of the strongest?
That are the symptoms of globalizations.
Where are the roots?
What is the origin of globalization?
