=== Egalisering ===
Lindner har utviklet et konsept hun kaller «egalisering». Termen balanserer de positive og negative aspektene av [[globalisering]]. Det introduserer likeverd, som [[menneskerettigheter]] definerer det, inn i teorier om [[globalisering]].

I sin bok ''Making Enemies Unwittingly: Humiliation and International Conflict'' ([[2006]], Praeger/Greenwood) forklarer Lindner begrepet som følgende:

{{Sitat|Globalization is powered by technology and our use of it, while what I call egalization is driven by our day-to-day moral sentiments and moral decisions. Egalization is about our relations with others and ourselves, whether we deem it right to look up or down on others and ourselves or believe we should treat all with equal respect. Egalization is about whether we use fear as the “glue” for coercive hierarchies or prefer to live in creative networks held together by mutual respect as defined by human rights ideals of equal dignity for all. I coined the word egalization to differentiate it from words such as equality, equity, or egalitarianism because the main point is equal dignity. The term egalization avoids claiming that there are no differences among people. Egality can coexist with functional hierarchy that regards all participants as possessing equal dignity; egality cannot coexist with hierarchy that defines some people as more valuable than others.}}
