The purpose of this paper is to review Anthony. Giddens' structuration theory, globalization, and the Third Way. First, we introduce his life, scholarship background and important published works. Next, the authors discuss the tenets of the structuration theory. Furthermore, we analyze globalization and the concept of the Third Way and their relationships. In conclusion, we evalute his structuration theory. Giddens argues that no matter what a firm attitude a nation holds against globalization, it cannot prevent the essential progress of it. Therefore, a nation should face the opportunity and challenge of globalization, and participate in its progress actively. The nation should make efforts to gain the benefit and avoid the disadvantages in the process in order to promote its economic and social development. |
