A good theoretical approach at intermediate level is given by Clark (1999). With respect to the economic history of globalisation, and current political strategies, the work of Hirst and Thompson (1996) has established itself as a seminal text, arguing that contemporary globalisation is neither historically unprecedented, nor politically inevitable. For an optimistic view of globalisation, try Ohmae (1990), who writes from a business point of view and sees globalisation as a challenge; for a pessimistic view, read Martin and Schumann (1997), who see globalisation as a process of social inequality and environmental degradation.

Each of these counterarguments is based on a faith in new globalised forms of liberal democracy. This does not mean a rigid transposition of a multi-party model onto a global stage, but rather a broader understanding of politics as invigorated by plurality, participation and accountability, along with a general assumption that the political and the economic constitute separate realms of social activity. Conceptualising globalisation as revolution? There is one other aspect of counter-globalisation which is both part of the liberal democratic field and potentially more radical still.
