Globalization

Global Experiences

•1. The spread of Filipino Tv into

Malaysia suggests how fast this
popular culture has proliferated
and crisscrossed all over Asia
•2. The Model Un activity that Gio
and Latif participated in an
international competition about
international politics.
•3. Sydney is also a metropolis of
families of international immigrants
or foreigners working in the
industries that also sell their
products abroad.
• 4. Gio and Latif kept in touch through
Facebook, a global social networking
site that provides instantaneous
communication across countries and
continents.
• “mail-order brides” for
foreign men living in other
countries
• Governments that decide to welcome
the foreign investments on the belief
that they provide jobs and capital for
the country offer public lands as factory
or industrial sites.
• “urban
poor
communities”
2 premises

1. Globalization is
2. It is uneven
a complex
process that affects
phenomenon that
the people
occurs at multiple
differently
levels.
Globalization: A Working Definition

• Globalization described the process as “

the expansion and intensification of
social relations and consciousness
across world-time and across world-
space. (Manfred Steger)
Expansion

• refers to both the creation of new

social networks and the multiplication
of existing connections that cut across
traditional, political, economic,
cultural, and geographical boundaries.
Intensification

• refers to the expansion , stretching, and

acceleration of these networks.

• Not only are global connections multiplying, but

they are also becoming more closely-knit and
expanding their reach.
Steger notes:

• “ globalization processes do not occur

merely at an objective, material level
but they also involve the subjective
plane of human consciousness”
• People begin to feel that the world
has become a smaller place and
distance has collapsed from
thousands of miles to just a
mouse-click away.
•If globalization represents the
many processes that allow for
the expansion and intensification
of global connections then
Globalism

• Globalism is a widespread belief among

powerful people that the global integration
of economic markets is beneficial for
everyone, since it spreads freedom and
democracy across the world.
Conclusion:

• different kinds of globalization

occur on multiple and
intersecting dimension of
integration that he calls
“scapes”
Ethnoscape refers to the global movement of
people

Mediascape the flow of culture

Technoscape refers to the circulation of

mechanical goods and software

Financescape the global circulation of money;

Ideoscape the realm where political ideas move

around
Appadurai’s argument is simple:

• There are multiple globalization.

• depending on what is being globalized, a

different dynamic may emerge

• What are being globalized?
