Features: By examining the various signs of globalization, it discusses the competitive judgments and rebuttals of the main stances of globalization advocates and anti-globalization critics in the globalization debate, as well as related governance issues, cultural issues, economic models, and global ethics. The author explores the central questions of political life in the globalization debate, namely: who should rule, according to whose interests should they rule, for what purposes should they rule, and by what means should they rule? Their conclusions propose a new political agenda for the 21st century—a global covenant of cosmopolitan social democracy.
