GLOBL 2 Chapter Notes - Chapter 5: Benjamin Barber, Michael Hardt, Mcworld
Document Summary
Jihad vs mcworld by benjamin barber is about 2 forces, mcworld and jihad, which emerged around the globe after the end of the cold war. These forces are opposing as mcworld represents westernization and jihad represents tradition and staying true to one"s values. Barber ultimately states that neither force is necessarily good as he believes both lead to anarchism. I agree with the author, too much of either force would not be good for everyone. Multipolar, multicivilizaitonal world by samuel huntington is about the shift in global competition from economic ideologies to culture. Iron curtain has moved from berlin and now separates western christianity and muslim and. I find it fascinating how the author was able to predict what is going on now. He is definitely correct as we see these conflicts everyday on the news. Empire by michael hardt and antonio negri argues that due to globalization, a new imperial order is emerging.
