globalisation beast

"William Coleman, in his essay ‘Globalization, Imperialism and Violence’ opines that America, as an empire, has used its power, especially military power, to speed up globalisation which has produced ‘networked’ society, global business and cultural networks which, in turn, have produced new forms of violence and networks of ‘uncivil’ society as a way to combat these forces of globalisation. Since many aspects of globalisation threaten the traditional ways of life especially in vulnerable developing societies, groups among them organise themselves into networks of ‘uncivil’ society as the only defence against these globalising forces. The main culprit, according to Coleman, is America with its 737 bases outside its territory and its ‘militarism’ as opposed to ‘military’."
