ON GLOBALISATION AND FREEDOM IN THE WORKS OF DAHRENDORF AND GIDDENS

Ana Pažanin ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The author analyses globalisation and freedom by discussing the works of Dahrendorf and Giddens. Examining issues like risk, tradition, family and democracy, Giddens explores the influence of globalisation on societies and states, and on individuals and their everyday life. Dahrendorf discusses the concept of freedom as an “action for realisation of opportunities” and in that sense he sees freedom is an action and not as a state. Dahrendorf also discusses globalisation as de-democratisation.
