    Globalisation and International relations: changing paradigms
    in World Affairs , Vol. 11, n. 3, Autumn ,  2007
    Bharti Chhibber notes that globalisation is a process taking place simultaneously in the political, economic, cultural and technological spheres and involving both state and non-state actors as partners or competitors driven by the ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). However, it is transnational capitalism which shapes and directs the present stage of globalisation, characterised by deepening inequalities and rising inter-ethnic/national/religious confrontations. The engine of the globalising process is the “Lockean” Englishspeaking liberal West against which the leading contender is now China, in succession to Napoleonic France, Imperial and Nazi Germany and the USSR.
