GLOBALIZATION, MIDDLE ECONOMIC CLASSES, AND NATIONAL-STATES

Yılmaz ESKİBİNA

Globalization is one of the most talked about phenomena in recent years. Some see this process as "the cause of all the evil that has happened to us," while others consider globalization "the last and highest goal that mankind wants to achieve." Even those who are distant from both views acknowledge that the process of globalization cannot be prevented. We know that globalization is a phenomenon initiated and managed by large capital owners. The rich who hold global capital established national states in history with their own hands to eliminate empires and the class of nobles that ruled them. Following this development, they left the rule of the national state in the hands of ultranationalists against the danger of communism looming in the world. Global capital, which has also survived its second enemies, has waited for the destruction of socialist states that exist in the world. With the collapse of the socialist bloc in the 21st century and the beginning of the People's Republic of China to pursue liberal policies, national states remained the only power against their dominance in the world. It doesn't go unnoticed that there has already been a power struggle in recent years between global capital owners and the national states and their top executives. Those who hold global capital have entered into an effort to discredit the national state and its mighty rulers, whom they see as the last obstacle to world domination. Seeking to remove the last obstacle to world domination, global capital is making economic interventions to weaken the middle economic classes that sustain the national state. Global capital aims to neutralize the national state by depriving it of the support of the middle economic class.
