Globalization, Anti-Globalization and Anti-Semitism. A Conspiracy Theory Approach

Summary/Abstract: The national anxieties regarding foreign elements are usual responses to globalization. Occasionally these anxieties are feeding the resurgence of old aversions on different regimes, doctrines or ethnic groups-like the Jews. Also, the anti-globalization movement is a favorable platform for exposing anti-Semitic views. Although efforts have been made to combat the contemporary anti-Semitism, the Jews in Europe are still concerned about the online hate speeches and conspiratorial speculations. In this article we try to explain anti- Semitism by appealing to the European Jewish history, emphasizing the fact that in crisis situations the Jewish people have repeatedly been targets of the conspiracy theory.
