Globalización ¿qué podemos decir de ella?

Abstract

In this text, I will first tr y to circumscribe some of the most visible traits of what we usually call economic globalisation where, from an industrial r elations standpoint, the changes currently under way are perhaps the most determining. But globalisation cannot merely be reduced to that sole dimension. I will therefore move on to speak about politics and culture in order to suggest the cr ux of my thesis, that the dynamics operating in these different segments cannot solely be reduced to the logic of economics. In other words, globalisation is a term that must be used in the plural. In order to more explicitly relate globalisation, employment and industrial relations, and after a brief theoretical parenthesis, as a conclusion, I will put forward some questions that I feel are still pending.
