Globalisation and the Promotion of Democracy: A Trojan Horse or a Genuine Humanitarian Paradigm?

32294

Much of what has come to be known in political sociology, and in common parlance in general, as globalisation is a reference to the strong wind of change associated with political and social constructions of culture and identity. Indeed, the concept has been used – quite often loosely – by rank and file to mean different things. The present paper purports to locate the concept within a political sociological frame where it has been dubbed a Trojan Horse (that is an excuse to promote specific political and economic agendas) or, in a more optimistic tone, a United Nations new humanitarian paradigm shift.
