The economic, technological, political, cultural, and environmental dimensions of contemporary globalization are examined. Questions are raised about the uniqueness of the current era of globalization in relation to earlier periods and the changing profile of global inequalities. The critical analysis of the problems and prospects of movements for global justice forms the final component of the program.
