ABSTRACT

The purpose of this chapter is to examine more fully how and why humans resist or defy their social commitments to one another. To do so, Freud’s twin concepts of repression and resistance are critically examined; with the result being the development, finally, of our awaited model of global resistance, both in its pro-global and anti-global forms. With this chapter complete, the study will have assembled its complex social psychology of globalization, which it will employ in greater detail in Part IV to explore the core issues of sexuality and aggression.
