The article is about a problem of the theoretical-political nexus existing in a connection to the treatment of globalization and work relations. A definition of the concept of globalization is not possible without connecting it to its deep-roots transcending a base on an empirical data. The same is with the problem of the globalization and work relations. Both in an apologetic and in a critical version we see one-sided extrapolation of partly-existing changes carrying distorted picture of the totality. And with it the theory becomes directly fused with its political message.
