Resumo
O título deste trabalho traduz as características dominantes da conjuntura actual e constitui um estudo aprofundado sobre o fenómeno vivo denominado globalização, em articulação com o processo democrático.
No que diz respeito à globalização, o trabalho pretende ser um retrato real da mesma, identificar os seus agentes, referir o modo como se processa a legislação dentro das instituições internacionais; e, como é de toda a pertinência, tentar explanar o reflexo da globalização e da democracia nas mais diversificadas sociedades.
Ainda no contexto da globalização, ao lançar um olhar crítico sobre aquelas instituições, o trabalho não deixa de realçar a sua falta de transparência, o outro lado da medalha, inevitável.
O meu trabalho apresenta algumas linhas de reflexão sobre os dois grandes pólos difusores da globalização, neste novo ciclo da história, os EUA e a UE.
No decorrer da análise da conjuntura global, e tendo em conta uma perspetiva sociopolítica, o trabalho incide particularmente sobre o processo democrático e, através de uma selecção lógica e cronológica, observa a sua transformação, bem como as alterações que este tem sofrido no âmbito do processo da globalização.
De realçar, ainda, que este trabalho refere os valores da globalização na óptica de vários autores, enfatiza os pontos positivos e os pontos negativos e aponta as possíveis resoluções para uma sociedade de igualdade, incitando um olhar clínico sobre os valores da cidadania e do primeiro poder da globalização que é o poder económico.
De entre as mais variadas questões que o trabalho foca, salienta-se a questão da democratização da democracia, bem como a humanização da globalização como frutos da uniformização dos estilos de vida entre o Hemisfério Norte e o Hemisfério Sul e a dissipação do fosso entre os ricos e os pobres, caminho que deve ser percorrido no respeito pela dignidade humana.
This work’s title translates the dominant characteristics of the current state of affairs and provides a deep study on the living phenomenon called globalization combined with the democratic process. Regarding globalisation, this work intends to be a real picture of it, to identify its agents, to refer how legislation renders within international institutions; and, since it is very relevant, trying to explain the outcome of globalisation and democracy in the most different societies. Still in the context of globalization, and looking at those institutions with a critical eye, this work highlights their lack of transparency. My work shows a few lines of reflection on the two major diffusing poles of globalization: USA-EU, in this new history cycle. During the analysis of the global environment, and taking into account a sociopolitical perspective, this work focuses particularly on the democratic process; through a logical and chronological selection, it looks at its transformation as well as at changes which it has been suffering under the process of globalisation. It should also be noticed that this work refers to different authors’ perspective of globalisation values, emphasizes its positive and negative aspects and points out possible resolutions for an equal society, urging a clinical look at citizenship values and at the first power of globalization, which is the economic power. Among the most different issues that this work brings about, the question of democracy democratization is emphasized, as well as the globalization humanization as a result of the standardization of lifestyles between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and the dissipation of the central point between rich and poor, taking a brief look at the trodden path concerning respect for human dignity.
