Abstract

Some of the aspects of globalization have been the explosive growth of financial flows and a decrease in the levels of employment protection and tin he quality of public services. Traders are the protagonists of globalization but does not control its evolution. The economic crisis started in 2008 is accompanied by a crisis of representative democracy. Neoliberalism imposes a model that relies less and less on government policies. The system does not recognize borders and tries to impose and consolidate around the world. New social movements seem to be the only ones to oppose this system. Is at stake is the future of our society.
