Abstract
This paper provides a critical historical summary of globalization and examines various positions against and in favor of globalization. It concludes that capitalistic globalization has not achieved its central goal of global economic growth and even less of the betterment of the quality of life. The encompassing mind-set or world view that globalization fostered in peoples is problematic not only because of its cultural homogenization but because of its lack of sense of obligation to others, poor sense of the public, and private relativism. Education has a critical role to play in dealing with the problematic aspects of globalization. It is argued that a critical examination of critical pedagogy, cosmopolitism (the establishment of cosmopolitan democratic law and the establishment of a democratic community as expounded by D. Held and also relying on M. Nussbaum), and global education (mainly as proposed by P. McIntosh) should be undertaken to identify commonalities and differences and articulate a renewed pedagogical approach.
 
 Key words: globalization, critical pedagogy, cosmopolitism, global education, cultural homogenization
