The Destiny of Utopia as an Intercultural and Mestizo Phenomenon

In the recurrent and monothematic discourse of anti-globalization, focused almost exclusively on its economic and financial aspects, there has been an increasing tendency to overlook important distinctions linked to the historical process of cultural globalization and its civilizing effects, as it has evolved in the modern age. In that vast and sweeping process, numerous 'isms' have converged over the centuries, resulting in a kind of crossroads between the universalist aspirations of the Christian religion and western civilization; the internationalism exemplified by the Socialist International; and the political, humanistic 'worldism' that led to the universal recognition of human rights and the creation of international organisms, nongovernmental organizations and solidarity networks, all of which were based on a set of universal values and principles
