  5. Globalisation as an hegemonic thinking • In view of the consequences of globalisation. Three positions: • - those who want to maintain a current position, defending its advantages and privileges; • those that adhere to the present neoliberal globalisation, in the name of initiative, efficiency, of liberty and of competition, etc, • and a third, that embraces, for example, “the Antiglobalistmovement” (...), that denies at the same time the actual order and the neoliberal globalisation and argues that “another world is possible” (2007:135).
