Globalisierung, global governance und Demokratie

The concept of the globalisation has experienced an astonishing career in the 1990s. By the resolution of the Soviet block and the breakdown of the Berlin Wall the planet seemed to become all together from uniform principles of western-modern life creation interlace. If one wants to bring the spirit of the times of the last turn of the century on the concept, one can say that we have entered into the epoch of the globalisation. There remains to us no other alternative. The concept of the globalisation controls furthermore the headlines, without always becomes clear what is meant with it. Therefore, this present thesis offers an introduction to the topic. Globalisation is a many-faceted process which stamps the societies today radically. A network of growing density has broken open the Partikularismus in all life forms and speeds up in rapid tempo worldwide exchange, adaptation processes and mutual influencing in the area of economy, policy and society. The globalisation has hardened to a Kohärenz which presents itself not only to the focused field of vision of social-scientific analysis, but to the everyday object of experience of the individuals in all parts of the world asserts itself. If these are the technically ingenious possibilities of the globalized transfer of information and flow of communication, the worldwide exchange of persons, goods, services and money, the cultural-covering adjustment and Transfers of consumption customs or the global standardization of perception patterns and values – in all life connections becomes the globalisation immediately perceptible. However, with precise investigation of the globalisation process another picture will appear. Of a globalisation can be spoken only in several times limited sense. While more than 70 percent of the good exports move between the triad (the EU, Japan and the USA), less than 20 percent of the commercial volume are cancelled to nearly three quarters of the world population. The number of the trans-nationwide operating enterprises has risen during the last 20 years very strongly and seat and action field of these enterprises spread, nevertheless, by no means steadily about the globe. The figures prove that from the globalisation considerably more people from than enclosed become. By the internationalisation of the economy it was closed everywhere on the impairment or even on the disappearance of the nation state. Nation states had to deliver many of her classical government functions to private actors in the course of the economic globalisation, but at the same time they are beside the worldwide operating enterprises almost the bearers of the strategy of the globalisation. The form carried out today of the globalisation lets only the maxim of the free market count and neglects all the other values. It lies neither in the interest of the humanity nor the planet to transform the whole world in a foreign trade zone. My thesis deals before the background of the international economic and political developments after the cold war with the consequences of the globalisation on the possibilities of a “globa Governance”, in particular in view of the democracy dilemma which from the global dimension of problems and solution attempts prove. Among the rest, besides, a role also plays as the possibilities of development are to be valued by transformation states in the farthest sense and the position of the united nations in the international system. This is the more significant for the present scientific globalisation debate than just in the developing-political and interculturally democracy-political dimension, indeed, a big number is to be registered in contributions which cover ideologically prejudiced positions, nevertheless, to important parts or thereby limit themselves the concentration on subranges “Global Governance-problems”.
