Globalization’s dark side
~!!~It is increasingly understood that we have entered a new phase of globalization – one defined more by divergence than convergence// Fragmentation, rather than a flattening of difference, is creating an archipelago~shaped world of fracturing capital, power and ideas//©
~!!~What is less appreciated is that basic enablers of globalization ~ finance, technology, energy, law, education, science, trade and travel ~ have all been turned into weapons in a new form of warfare// Forces that should be binding together diverse parts of the globe are instead being transformed into divisive and even disruptive tools// ©
