Description
Summary:The aim of this paper is to address the recent process of globalization from the point of view of the relation between regulation and emancipation. The main thesis is that the process of globalization changes the relation between these two categories and requires the introduction of a third element which the author calls non-regulation. The argument is not that non-regulation constitutes a completely new feature of modernity, but rather that the way in which hegemony occurs in the globalized public space of the early 21st century consists in a combination of super-regulation and non-regulation which gives it completely new characteristics. The second issue addressed in this paper concerns the extent to which the new global public spaces that are emerging in late modernity can confront those unregulated global spaces.
