    The document discusses three perspectives on globalization: 1. The hyperglobalist perspective argues that globalization has created a borderless world and reduced state sovereignty, with both winners and losers from the new global division of labor. 2. The skeptic perspective argues that globalization is overstated and regions remain powerful, with states still playing a major role alongside economic fragmentation. 3. The transformationalist perspective views globalization as creating new patterns of stratification among actors like states, NGOs, and civil society, without a clear end point.

    Borderless World
    Hollowing out of the State
    WINNERS AND LOSERS
    New global division of labor
    Hyperglobalist Thesis

    Boosters: Problems, yes; but whole world

    political aspects of development too. (See
    Money Lenders)
    The Skeptics Thesis
    ITS A MYTH
    Contemporary levels of global interdependency are not
    unprecedented.
    Really just heightened levels of internationalization
    between national economies
    REGIONALIZATION
    Three major blocks and national governments remain
    powerful
    North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific
    STATE IS STILL A PLAYER
    Skeptics Critique of their world
    Increasing uneven development
    No real new international division of labor
    Global corporation is a myth
    Economic marginalization leads to
    fragmentation and growth of
    fundamentalism
    Global governance and economic
    internationalization are Western projects
    Transformationalist Thesis

    NEW PATTERNS OF STRATIFICATION

    NEW OPPORTUNITIES
    STATE BECOMES A CATALYZER
