​سه وجه جهانی شدن نگرانم می‌کند.
اولی فرهنگی است، ارزش‌ها جهان‌شمول می‌شوند. مدافعان آن، گاه از مداخله‌ی بیرونی برای اِعمال این ارزش‌ها دفاع می‌کنند. اینجاست که قدرت صاحبان ارزش اهمیت می‌یابد.

دومی اقتصادی است، قرار است امکان بیشتری برای مبادله فراهم شود.​​ اما قسمت تلخ آنجاست که در کشورهای صنعتی، تعرفه‌ها برای کشورهای فقیر بیشتر از کشورهای ثروتمند است. قدرت نمود پیدا می‌کند و البته ساخته می‌شود.

سومی، سیاسی است. حضور سازمان‌های مردمی بین‌المللی و شرکت‌های فراملیتی در نظام تصمیم. البته این مورد به شرط چندجانبه‌گرایی ترسناک نیست ولی ما که چنین چیزی ندیدیم.
