One of the key words of our time is the notion of globalization. While most scholars try to catch the term by its properties (free capital flow,
new IT media,...) I ask: Whats behind globalization? Which mechanism s allowed to create globalization?
Using the method of discourse analysis my idea is:
Globalization is a discourse that created a space for a dominant mode of thought.
So far so good, but what then are the underlying assumptions of this discourse?
