According to the Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiong'o, “globalectics combines the global and the dialectical to describe a mutually affecting dialogue, or multi-logue, in the phenomena of nature and nurture in a global space that’s rapidly transcending that of the artificially bounded as nation and region.”
Globalectics can take the form of global capitalism, where elites around the world communicate to discuss how best to capture natural resources and exploit the working class. Multinational corporations, international trade organizations, capitalist think tanks, elite business schools: all of these are sites of one kind of globalectics that can lead to a depleted, in-egalitarian world.
