Globalisation by Anthony Giddens

I would only present two theorists approaches developped by Anthony Giddens concerning Globalisation, which are the sceptics and the radicals.

The sceptics see the phenomenon of globalisation as a fictive phenomenon that does not really exist, saw as "too much noise for nothing". For them, internal trade is more important and developped than external trades. There is more trade between regions of a countries than trades between different countries. Today, the global economy is manaeged by the government, intervening in the economy becoming the political economy.

The radicals see globalisation as a phenomenon that is occuring, but at the same time creating a sort of anarchy manifestated by a loose of sovereignty and the end of the nation state. Globalisation occurs in an economical way, goods, and services being influenced by the political life. However, the government is ejected from the political life, presenting a decline of the state power (the supranational institution took power over the state).
