Globalisation watch

This refers to the article `Globalisation revisited' (Business Line, January 26). The lessons taught by the Mexico, EU currency and South Asia crises have demonstrated clearly the myth of stability and viability of the global economic regime under construction. However, the process of globalisation is one-way and there cannot be any reversal or return. The need of the hour is a controlled, guided and calibrated globalisation, and not an unlimited one.

To achieve this, the World Social Forum should get further energised and build diversity of views and ideas. It should not simply be an annual carnival and a `safety-valve' to air out the grievances of anti-globalisation campaigners.

C. Ramesh,

Keeramangalam (TN)
