To quote the article:
But recent events in Tunisia and Algeria remind us that the vast bulk of history's revolutions are fueled by economics, not politics. In this, the struggle for Islam's soul is no different than that of any other civilization in this age of globalization's rapid expansion...
Rubbish. I cannot take that seriously.

I find Globalisation is an imprecise term of almost no actual utility.
Additionally I submit it has little or no relevance to conflict.
Wars are caused by Politics. Globalisation is irrelevant.

Basically, when people say "Globalisation" they are strongly indicating they are confused by things they see, but do not understand. Everything people state as being or as being a product of "Globalisation" has a better and more useful explanation else where.
