Globalization highlights the interconnections and interdependencies among human beings, institutions, and societies hence it is a carrier of some positive values. Yet this world may never have been more divided given prevailing ideas and realities both natural and man-made that challenge it (global terrorism, trade imbalances, arms races, annexation of other territories, boundary disputes, human rights abuses, poverty, environmental disasters, pandemic diseases, etc.) A contested world order arises because, despite human technological advances, our ethical instincts and sociopolitical arrangements have not caught up with this advance. Our finding is that some implications of globalization are debilitating given a surge of unaccountable, oppressive, unelected, national, and international power through either ++-direct causal or regulative hegemony. There is a problem because global leadership causal and regulative control or construct has jettisoned the culture of dialogue, accountability, and respect for consensus on divergent views or perspectives. We recommend the normative and prescriptive human values required for mitigating discontent; these include justice, fair play, respect, and cooperation for peaceful coexistence of all states.
