Governo global e diversidade cultural

Abstract

The author promotes the discussion about the intertwining or interpenetration of globalism and cultural diversity. The first section examines the notion of global governance as it appears both from "idealist” and “realist” perspectives. In the next part, the focus shifts to the dimension of cultural diversity, by examining the question whether “culturalism ” thwarts or perhaps aids the pursuit of globalism. By way of conclusion, the article deals with the correlation of globalism and cultural diversity by concentrating on some salient features of the emerging global “civil society ”.
