"Globalization produces both conflict and harmony, and the new geopolitical paradigm is actually the product of two conflicting dynamics," says Laurent Cohen-Tanugi. "The dynamics of globalization in the Friedman sense—in other words, technology, open trade, et cetera—is homogenizing the world, is a force of peace and progress, but at the same time, we have the country dynamics of fragmentation, of conflict, of, potentially, war. Those two dynamics coexist, will continue to coexist, and what's at stake is which of the two will prevail over the other." This event took place at the Carnegie Council on October 24, 2008.
