The intensification of the globalization processes of social relations, since the 1970s, has direct implications in studies of contemporary world politics. One important aspect in which  such implications express themselves regards the emergence of new actors in the world politics that no longer organize themselves in national terms only, but paying attention in the local, national, regional and global dynamics - in other words, seeing the global political economy as a whole. It is possible to note that dominant and dominated social groups are being influenced and are influencing such globalization processes - in other words, it would be possible to discern the rise of a transnational fraction of the capitalist class and the rising of a globalized resistance in the ambit of a civil society influenced by globalization processes. Therefore, the objective of the present proposal is to analyze this process of transformation of the social forces in an age of intensification of the globalization processes of the social relations; in other words, to analyze the transformation of the civil society in an age of globalization that are presenting new dilemmas and possibilities to the collective political agency in the XXI century.
