Hardt, Michael; Negri, Antonio, (2000) “Extract” from Hardt, Michael; Negri, Antonio, Empire pp.xi-xvi,3-21, Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press

Hardt, Michael; Negri, Antonio, hardt criticize the globalization, their book”empire” could be considered as the representative of the anti-globalization works. They argue that the globalization is the capitalist production and economic relations have become more autonomous from political controls ,But with the traditional left to some of the different anti-globalization, this book address the global changes in an attempt to put forward in the context of globalization, new practice ideas.

Hardt, Michael; Negri, Antonio book’s argument can be roughly simplified as follows: Globalization has led to changes in capitalism, the nation-state boundaries disappear, the new “Empire” has been formed, showing a new form of sovereignty, is composed of many countries and a joint supranational organizations .

The authors argue that “the masses” is the seed of the revolution, they need international links to change the “empire”, but these people in today’s nation-states under the barrier, how could the international links, how to overcome language differences

Saskia Sassen states that Economic globalization not look at the globalization of capital accumulation, but also the production process of globalization. If the economic globalization, the globalization of the production process as we see more than just capital, capital is only one aspect of economic globalization, it is another aspect of the globalization of labor, especially in the international movement of labor.

Arjun Appadurai, Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy, 1990 7: 295 Theory Culture Society, DOI: 10.1177/026327690007002017.

Arjun Appadurai thinks that disjuncture and difference are normally in the global cultural economy, today, the central issue is the tense relationship between global interaction heterogeneity and cultural homogeneity. “Homogenization” is globalization and the universal, “heterogeneous”, that the pursuit of ethnic, indigenous rights and the maintenance of cultural identity. As mentioned earlier, the key is, “homogeneity” of the substance at the expense of “heterogeneity” as the price,

The basic efforts are to discuss the disadvantaged and marginalized groups in the cultural status quo from the inequality freed. From an academic perspective, the demands of cultural heterogeneity consist of the following reasons: First, the cultural standpoint, it has a position of cultural relativism. The need for different cultures to maintain their autonomy, because whether it is strong or weak culture, are equal in rights, no one culture is superior to other cultures, nature. Therefore, there is no one culture can be for other cultural legislation, and its own advantages and disadvantages of other cultures for the evaluation criteria.

Thus in Arjun Appadurai thinks that which derived from the resistance of a strong culture means that it is not for the emphasis on their own than any other culture their own special appeal, but in Europe or the male-centered center of power has become a universal rule in the context of intercultural the pursuit of equal status.

Ulrich Beck, the Terrorist Threat: World Risk Society Revisited, 2002 19: 39 Theory Culture Society, DOI: 10.1177/0263276402019004003

Cultural development in the reflection type, the modern rational and the Universe would have been a powerful challenge of all; society will also be the inner self to begin conversion. People’s cultural experience and experience in space, including the cultivation of various degree of recognition, diversity of life forms of the cross, the Political Action Without Borders, etc., will have a more diversified development.

“Risk society” has the global common foundation, because in the second modernity, whether political, economic or ecological crisis, the risk of the spread is no national boundaries; so modern risk society, must put in the context of globalization down interpretation. However, Baker on the “second modern” in the description of the world, the globalization of the past simply is not the same. In order to interpret more in line with the concept of global development community, and puts forward a “cosmopolitan”, containing the words “all men are brothers”,

Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Terhi Rantanen. The globalization of news

Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Terhi Rantanen research from the social perspective ,and emphasizes the role of government era of globalization, and the Government can play a complementary effect and the market potential to give more attention. Using of statistical methods proved that external risks can not be ignored, but the state is playing an important integral role in providing social security and protection of social justice. Government maintains economic openness and balance between domestic needs of the community as a crucial and irreplaceable role. The implication is: If the Government is up to the role that globalization will be able to smooth the contrary, this process will be reversed.

Oliver Boyd-Barrett,Terhi find some latest new which find the process of globalization, which in many ways is very different. For example, today’s international financial system from the conclusions of historical research in analysis and interpretation should be applied to contemporary events, there will be quite limited indeed.

Since the market’s expansion on a global scale in fact has brought individuals and the income gap between countries and the widening gap of economic welfare, just as happened 80 years ago as; it will be useful to draw lessons from history.
