GLOBALIZATION, THE PROBLEM OF WAR AND NORMATIVE ISSUES
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
This essay begins by defining globalization, antiglobalization, and alterglobalization. Next, a case is made for the relevance of the new interna-tional, interdisciplinary field of Global Studies for understanding and as-sessing globalism. This perspective represents the post-Cold War synthesis of previously independent Global Studies in the Soviet Union and in the West and is epitomized in the recent Global Studies Encyclopedia. Finally, a normative framework is developed for addressing global issues, specifically one that regards ending war as the most pressing global problem. Specifically, a call is made for developing nationally and internationally what John Dewey termed political ethics and for utilizing in this area of applied philosophy the global humanist values proposed by Robert Johansen.
