Globalisation is often associated with a conservative political ideology and usually faces opposition from progressive political groups. This essay challenges this conventional view and tries to illustrate how the globalisation process is consistent with a progressive political philosophy. It, furthermore, argues that the removal of this political bias would allow both proponents of free trade and progressive political organisations to be more effective in pursuing their own objectives.
