Abstract

In the recurrent and monothematic discourse of anti-globalization, focused almost exclusively on its economic and financial aspects, there has been an increasing tendency to overlook important distinctions linked to the historical process of cultural globalization and its civilizing effects, as it has evolved in the modern age.
