ABSTRACT
Introduction Today we see ‘globalisation’ proceeding apace. That is to say that the modernist project, rooted in a specifically Euro-American tradition, is spreading ever more worldwide. As it does so, it encounters very different politico-cultural and politico-spiritual traditions and generates a variety of critical responses. While the dominant voices of critique have been largely generated within a modernist analytical framework, alternative challenges are now starting to emerge that are not underpinned by the axioms that characterise the Euro-American mainstream. In other words, anti-globalisation discourses include not only critical discourses within the project of modernist world affairs but also discourses exogenous to and critical of that project.
