The first section analyses criticism of the political aspect of globalization; the second givesspecial attention to criticism of the economic aspect of globalization; the third deals with criticism of cultural globalization. The initialhypothesis is that globalization is characterized, often unfairly, as atrend which has negative consequences for the nature of the nation-state.
