 Globalization Is About the Liberalization
03
and Global Integration of Markets

The perspective of this first claim dwells on the vital

functions of the free market, on its rationality and
efficiency likewise on its alleged ability to bring about
greater social integration and material progress. This
can only be realized in a democratic society that
values and protects individual freedom.
04
 Globalization is inevitable and
05
irreversible
The Perspective of this claim is that globalization
reflects the spread of irreversible market forces
driven by technological innovations that make the
global integration of national economies inevitable.
06 Nobody is in charge of Globalization

this perspective focuses on the classical liberal

concept of the 'Self-Regulating market'. The
semantic between 'globalization-market' and the
adjacent idea of 'no leader' is simple. Globalization
does not reflect the arbitrary agenda of a particular
social class or group.
07 Globalization Benefits Everyone

The adjacent idea of 'benefits for everyone' is usually

unpacked in material terms such as 'economic growth'
and 'prosterity'. This perspective supported by the joint
statement of powerful industrialized nations in 1996 G-7
summit in Lyon, France
08 Globalization furthers the Spread of
democracy in the World

This claim links Globalization and Market to the

adjacent concept of democracy, which also plays a
significant role in liberalism conservatism and
Socialism
 Globalization requires a global war
09
on terror

Claim 6 is the neo-conservative commitment to

"American Values" of freedom, security, and free
markets. This is supported by Robert Kaplan (2003) in
his statement "You also have military and economic
power behind it or else your ideas cannot spread"
