Globalisation and Modernity
Chapter 3  Discussion Questions

  • Why are some parts of the world richer or poorer than others? Will the poorer regions ever catch up with the rich? If not, why not?
  • Should we be optimistic or pessimistic about globalisation? Give reasons for your response.
  • How convincing is the case for cultural imperialism? Is the future of the world American?
  • Is a New World Order possible, in the light of the events of September 11 2001?
