Globalisation is often described as an unstoppable tide of history — but what if everything we’ve been told about it is only half the story? In this video, we dive deep into alternative perspectives on globalisation, looking at how it has shaped the modern world, who benefits, who suffers, and what might come next in a rapidly shifting global order.br br We break down the history of globalisation not as a neutral process, but as a political and economic project that has served elites, multinational corporations, and dominant states, while leaving many countries in dependency and crisis. From the IMF and World Bank’s austerity programmes, to China’s strategic rise through global markets, to the populist backlash in the West, we uncover the hidden layers of power behind globalisation.
