THE DISCOURSE OF GLOBALIZATION IN POLITICS CREATING INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE OR REPOSITIONING CULTURAL IDENTITIES?

Globalization and its discourse have affected almost all fields of interest starting with economics, politics, culture, social development, etc., and ending with education and day-to-day life and activities. The need for an intercultural dialogue has become more poignant than ever and the interest in intercultural dialogue research has grown concurrently. Late global events related to violence, conflict and war have shown a need to regard intercultural dialogue from a different perspective. The present paper endeavours to show in what way the discourse of globalization in modern politics has attempted to create a type of intercultural dialogue that would legitimize certain social changes and decisions within national and cultural identities.
