Abstract Globalization: What Caused It and How Will the Story End? One can look at the current wave of globalization as a cyclical phenomena, a product of political choice and American hegemony or as structural change brought on by technology. To an important extent, the future of globalization depends on which narrative you choose. I will argue that globalization represents irreversible structural change over the medium to longer run. |
