Abstract:

This paper is a piece of a larger project to examine the impact of changes in the global political economic environment on democracy and democratic theory. The basic thesis of this project is that there have been some transformations that have significantly undermined the conditions and supports necessary for good democratic projects, even if you adopt a fairly minimalist conception of democracy (and of course the problem is more severe if you hold a more robust conception of democracy). This piece of the project looks closely at the discourses on economic globalization. I use the plural discourses because there are several important discourses on economic globalization that, although intertwined, are distinguishable from one another. Here I will begin the process of examining these discourses, looking in the first two parts of the paper at the discourse on globalization as an inevitable historical process of modernity and late modernity, and at the discourse on models of development. In the last part, I examine the discourse surrounding free trade and what economists have to say about economic globalization, as well as the discourse on capital mobility.
