For those who take a more skeptical stance (the so-called skeptics) globalization is not as it is presented. They believe that the importance and impact of globalization has been greatly exaggerated. In a world where "power politics is the dominant reality for states, the endemic struggle for relative national advantage ensures that inequality will never be eradicated (...) a more just world order is unlikely to emerge as long as global institutions do not have the effective power to ensure that richer states undertake policies to achieve a more equitable distribution of global wealth and income".
