Identidades y nuevos conflictos
Globalization has substantially changed the political, economic and social patterns with which humanity has moved during the last 30 years. The integration of economies, accelerated change, and the revolution of technologies relate to an ancient phenomenon, although qualitatively different. However, the process of intensification of global interconnections has produced consequences that sometimes point in opposite directions: integration and fragmentation, homogenization and diversification, globalization and localization. Some of the results of the globalization process have been translated into experiences of weakening of the state and the fracture of societies. This last case is related to the awakening of identity demands based on ethnicity, a religious worldview, or the simple awakening of lethargic nationalisms. The following essay attempts to review the premises and classifications that, from various theoretical angles, explain the aforementioned trend in world politics.

| Summary: | Globalization has substantially changed the political, economic and social patterns with which humanity has moved during the last 30 years. The integration of economies, accelerated change, and the revolution of technologies relate to an ancient phenomenon, although qualitatively different. However, the process of intensification of global interconnections has produced consequences that sometimes point in opposite directions: integration and fragmentation, homogenization and diversification, globalization and localization. Some of the results of the globalization process have been translated into experiences of weakening of the state and the fracture of societies. This last case is related to the awakening of identity demands based on ethnicity, a religious worldview, or the simple awakening of lethargic nationalisms. The following essay attempts to review the premises and classifications that, from various theoretical angles, explain the aforementioned trend in world politics. |
