ABSTRACT
Let us start with two ways of looking at globalization. The first assumes that globalization is a thread running through all of humanity’s past, starting with generations of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, over millennia, gradually migrating across the world. In this sense, there is no set beginning, as well as no foreseeable end. The second involves the fact that globalization in its present-day incarnation is a subject of endless debate as to what it is and where it is going. Taken together, these two ways add up to a kind of “globalization without end,” both as discourse and possible reality.
