GLOBALIZATION AND THE RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM

Abstract

Globalization is a complex phenomenon that involves the economic, cultural, and political integration of countries and regions around the world. At the same time, this process has influenced and been influenced by various religious movements and ideologies, including religious fundamentalism. Religious fundamentalism represents a strong and often conservative reaction to the rapid changes and perceived alien values brought about by globalization. Although globalization brings multiple benefits, including economic development and cultural exchange, it also generates reactions to defend traditional identities, one of the most notable of which is religious fundamentalism.
