Abstract:This paper explores the concepts of 'globalization', 'global civil society' and 'global solidarity' on the basis of the views of A. Giddens (1990, 1992). It argues that globalization implies that hegemony no longer rests in a single territorial site (national, regional), with a single subject (the international capitalist class), on a primary determinant (economic, military) or level (the State). The current globalization process is brought about not so much by the breaching of physical boundaries as by the penetration of a multiplicity of social spaces. The new institutional framework of globalization is referred to as 'global civil society', the ethic of new democratic social movements as 'global solidarity'.
