Globalisation is often described as an unstoppable tide of history — but what if everything we’ve been told about it is only half the story? In this video, we dive deep into alternative perspectives on globalisation, looking at how it has shaped the modern world, who benefits, who suffers, and what might come next in a rapidly shifting global order.<br /><br />We break down the history of globalisation not as a neutral process, but as a political and economic project that has served elites, multinational corporations, and dominant states, while leaving many countries in dependency and crisis. From the IMF and World Bank’s austerity programmes, to China’s strategic rise through global markets, to the populist backlash in the West, we uncover the hidden layers of power behind globalisation.<br /><br />🌍 Perspectives explored in this video:<br />Western liberal narrative vs Global South realities<br />The Washington Consensus vs Chinese state capitalism<br />Workers, wages, and the backlash of populism in Europe and America<br />Environmental critiques of globalisation and sustainability dilemmas<br />Philosophical questions — is globalisation really new, or just empire by another name?<br /><br />The future: regional blocs, digital globalisation, or fragmentation?<br />We also connect this to broader issues:<br /><br />The rules-based international order in crisis (see: The End of the Rules Based Order?)<br />The European struggle with unity and division (see: United Kingdom or Divided Kingdom?)<br />The rise of algorithmic power and AI hegemony (see: Algorithmic Propaganda: The AI Playbook for Mass Persuasion)<br /><br />Also on youtube: https://youtu.be/8pijMFpLPoU<br /><br />📺 Watch on other platforms:<br /><br /><br />🔗 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wperspective2<br />🔗 Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/worldpe<br /><br />🔗 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@worldperspec<br /><br />🔎 Playlists for deeper dives:<br /><br /><br />▶️ Algorithmic Hegemony: Who Really Rules the 21st Century? → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBWac6sW8fRXA8VduutP5Zi9TT8mzeLDs<br /><br /><br />▶️ Europe on Edge: Power, People & the Politics of Change → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBWac6sW8fRVbxMuhn_GccPuyN0A6Ub_o<br /><br /><br />▶️ Money, Debt & Power: Rethinking Finance in the 21st Century → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBWac6sW8fRVDWO6DTMR5tPHlRNhf_lkK<br /><br /><br />▶️ End of Globalisation? | Power Shifts, New Politics & the Future World Order → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBWac6sW8fRUzFfmgbhFZ3akiHusXkhq9<br /><br />💬 Join the conversation across platforms:<br /><br />📌 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/worldperspective2/<br /><br />📌 Twitter / X → https://x.com/worldperspec<br /><br />📌 Threads → https://www.threads.com/@worldperspective2<br /><br /><br />#Globalisation #WorldPolitics #Geopolitics #Economics #AI #Capitalism #China #USA #Europe #WorldOrder #FutureOfGlobalisation #IMF #WorldBank #ClimateCrisis #Populism #Inequality #GlobalSouth<br />
