This essay goes against a preconceived idea that globalization goes along with irrepressible material changes. The author shows that each stage in globalization was the consequence of political decisions and that it increases certain forms of social polarization within individual countries and between certain regions of the world. He proposes a long-term analysis of institutional reforms to be undertaken at international level, the development of mechanisms for regional integration, and above all a reinforcement of democratic participation.
