Anglosphere: Limits to Globalization

In this essay James C. Bennett addresses the limits of globalization. According to Bennett, amongst the enduring benefits of globalization are innovations in travel, world economy, and medical and technological breakthroughs. However, Bennett argues against a universal paradigm for globalization because globalization often occurs between nations and economies that are similarly positioned in world geo-politics. Further, globalization tends to link countries that share cultural traditions and language, rather than create a nation-less global community. Public health concerns, national security issues and the phenomenon of global terrorism not only ensure the survival of the nation-state but also illustrate the constraints on globalization. - YaleGlobal
