Why is this not possible within a reformed form of globalisation such as
described by Keith Suter ('In Defence of Globalisation', UNSW Press, Sydney,
2000)?
The resurgence of tribalism, religiousity and ethnic consciousness - with
the conflict and chauvanism that comes with these things - has been an
accompaniment to globalisation. If these things triumph, then it's simply a
return to the past in all its parochialism and ignorance. If it were put to
the vote, I wonder how many of us would opt for that sort of future?
