Abstract
"Another world is possible". This sentence, popularized for the first time during the demonstrations in the Doha Round, aims at denouncing the rising inequalities within countries, and considers the kind of globalization currently implemented being responsible for the prevailing situation. According to the IMF, globalization refers to the "increasing integration of economies around the world, particularly through trade and financial flows". The progress of technology and communication in the 1970s made the world smaller and the borders easier to cross. Indeed, it seems quite paradoxical: although globalization is accused of raising inequalities, more and more countries try to be involved in it. So can globalization be considered as a positive force that uniformly bolsters the economic prospects of countries and societies around the globe? In this essay, we will see that although, the rise of globalization has been parallel to the rise of inequalities within countries, these inequalities do not come from globalization in itself but from the lack of integration of countries in globalization.
