ABSTRACT
What new world? Well, there’s the politics of new local/global relations2 in the postmodern. There’s the “transnationalization of production” (Burbach, 2001, p. 25). There’s tension between notions of liberty and freedom and those of justice and equality, values whose foundations are now in a multi-layered disparity over various local and global determinants. And there’s the need to consider much more the relations between these concepts, how they connect and disconnect with each other-some new sense of adjacency, perhaps. That would be the “rethinking” in my title.
