| The Emerging Global Normative Synthesis |
In this paper, George Washington University Professor Amitai Etzioni examines globalization, arguing that the values and norms of East and West are converging towards some middle ground and refuting the theory that Eastern cultures are Westernizing while Western countries continue down a solely Western path of development. He affirms that global social order will become more based on soft power and less on coercion, and will find roots in moderate religious sources and secular ones. |
