I am currently in Brussels as I will be taking part in a panel discussion that asks the question: “Has the Culture Gone Global?”

New order, old order. I get confused.
Globalization as always, operating under the same ownership, with plenty of new (darker and more exotic) faces in management. The owners disagree on a few things but are in agreement about the need for maintaining control. The managers are incentivised by the options on offer...possible membership in the oligarchy for the most reliable subordinates or at least safety from the degradation of joining the masses.
The rest is PR developed for the prejudices of the consumers of audiovisual and digital entertainment (in which I include graduate level elite education). If you don't know how the decision-makers get their money or how they preserve it forget about figuring any of it out. If you are not already getting the BBQ you are livestock and there is always a special place on the grill for all of us.
