Sažetak
This papers offers an analytical presentation of two complementary views on globalisation, which have received worldwide attention by the scientifictheoretical and political public. These views belong to the American economy theoretician (and Nobelprize winner) Joseph Stiglitz and the Swiss sociologist Jean Ziegler, whose books (Globalisation and its Discontents and Les nouveaux maîtres du monde) have become real bestsellers. Their views are interesting and credible because both of them have been working as active experts with international institutions: Stiglitz as a leading economic expert with the World Bank (from 1997 to 2000), and Ziegler as a special referee of the United Nations' Right on Nutrition. Analysed are Stiglitz' and Ziegler's views on three levels on the level of basic attitudes towards the sense, history and ambiguities of globalisation; on the level of actual relationships, consequences and ideological canons of globalisation; on the level of possible evaluations, reform interventions and acteurs which could design another picture of globalisation. The author insists on general similarities concerning Stiglitz' and Ziegler's attitudes, but also on certain differences with reference to the grade of radicalism in suggested changes.
