Abstract
After the bombardment of the Twin
Towers in September 2001, the hallmarks of Western capitalism, a great number
of critics have sought to re-define and re-negotiate the issue of
globalization. Many others, however, have predicted the end of globalization.
This paper, then, seeks to delve into the complex, contentious and ongoing
debate on globalization and its position in the post-9/11 world order. It also
aims to address the impact of contemporary globalization on culture, identity,
geography and nation-state as well as the relationship between the global and
the local.
Keywords: Globalization,
localization, homogenization, Westernization, hybridization, culture, identity,
geography, nation-state, 9/11
