www.opendemocracy.net exists for world debate on the great issues of
ourtime.

Now, in a sparkling exchange, David Held and Paul Hirst clash daily on
perhaps the most important of them all - globalisation after September 11th.

1. What is Globalisation?
2. Is it new?
3. Are the protestors justified?
4. Is the WTO better than nothing?
5. What are the alternatives?
6. Is Europe a model?
7. Can we create global democracy?
8. If not....

Today is day 5. The exchange ends as Davos starts in New York and the
protestors gather at Porto Alegre.

This is an experiment for openDemocracy. We are not going daily! But we want
to make this defining argument available in short, accessible pieces.
