The victory of neo-liberal globalization

Abstract

This article is about the general historical dynamics and social phenomenon of neo-liberalism and economic globalization. The question/problem pursued is; is globalization a new process as a replacement for modernity as claimed or a different phase of modernity and capitalism in reality? Because, our world is going through a rapid change and transformation like no other period in history; on one hand space and time concepts are being lost and on the other hand differences and localizations are being homogenized. To understand these processes, first we need to analyze the economy-politics of the `order of the new world` that we are living in and to find an answer to the question of what globalization really is. The impression that we acquired within this quest for an answer and at the same time the conclusion that provides the basis for this article is that globalization is a field/period of struggle between labor and capital, that competitive capitalism lies in the heart of this struggle period, that it includes an ideology against social structure and organized society and that this ideology is being represented by neo-liberalism.
