- Abstract
Recently, changes in social front are observed more than any change in the context on globalization. The concept of social cohesion has been facing new challenges and paradoxical position in debate about globalization. Present study is an attempt to explore the impact of globalization on social cohesion for a panel of 99 countries, utilizing five-year average panel data for the period 1990 to 2010 using Least Square Dummy Variables (LSDV). The results of the study reveal that globalization is a real threat to social cohesion now a day's. It may be due to the fact that expected fruits of globalization are not realized fully by the people. Globalization is supposed to increase intra state disparities among the people, benefiting a particular segment of the society and widening the gulf between the beneficiaries of the globalization and victims of globalization thereby reducing social cohesion. The study suggests that authorities and social policy makers need to address and pay attention to critical issues. There is a need to introduce policies which may pay much emphasis to the concerns related to social cohesion.
