Argues that globalization is here to stay in spite of rumors of its demise. The contention that globalization is not new but simply the continuation of a long-term process is challenged to point out its many unprecedented characteristics & the never-seen-before possibilities it has opened for humanity. The enormous quantitative changes in economic, cultural, & military components wrought by globalization have created qualitative changes. Claims that globalization is designed to spread American values/interests are belied in light of the global spread of such things as Japanese sushi, Latin American telenovelas, & fundamentalist Islam. It is maintained that globalization has paved the way for new rivals to contest American hegemony & power politics continue to thrive. Consideration is given to debates about the link between globalization & inequality & whether globalization has made the world a safer place. The most dangerous deficit currently facing humanity is described as the "gap between the need for effective collective action at the global level & the ability of the international community to satisfy that need.".
