[en] The chapter tries to articulate the main sociological "overviews" about globalization, according to the litterature, from Beck to Negri and form Giddens to Inglehart or Huntington. The main thesis is that three scenarios, by and large, coexist in the literature : 1) in scenario of "Empire" with the domination of an "immanent" power over all actors (but not alike) ; 2) the huntingtonian scenario of the "clash of civilizations" and 3) a more marginal but not implausible scenario of "clash of classes" at a global level. None of this scenario is impossible and none is certain. The text try to assess the plausibility of each of the three.
