InTech: Abderrahman Hassi and Giovanna Storti’s “Globalization and Culture: The Three H Scenarios”

This article describes globalization as the increasing flows of “people, financial resources, goods, information, and culture.” As you read this article, consider the following questions:

  • How does globalization represent a threat “from above” to the traditional institution of the nation-state?
  • Do the growing influence of multilateral agencies and global governance erode state power? Why or why not?
  • What do you think are the cultural implications of globalization? How will this impact the power of the nation-state?
