ON GLOBALISATION AND FREEDOM IN THE WORKS OF DAHRENDORF AND GIDDENS

Autorica u tekstu analizira globalizaciju i slobodu prateći djela Dahrendorfa i Giddensa. Razmatrajući pitanja globalizacije, rizika, tradicije, obitelji i demokracije, Giddens se bavi utjecajima globalizacije na društva i države te na pojedinca i njegovu svakodnevicu. Dahrendorf razmatra pojmove slobode kao “djelovanja koje ostvaruje životne šanse” i u tom smislu djelatne slobode, a ne slobode kao stanja, te globalizacije kao dedemokratizacije.The author analyses globalisation and freedom by discussing the works of Dahrendorf and Giddens.

Dahrendorf also discusses globalisation as de-democratisation
