The term globalization is perhaps the perfect word that can describe today’s
world. Ritzer (2011) cited Bauman (2003) emphasizing that globalization is the most
essential change that has taken place in human history. This change is mirrored in
almost all aspects of human lives- social, cultural, economic, and political; hence,
making globalization omnipresent in societies. The term was created during the
second half of the twentieth century, and it was first incorporated in the Webster’s
dictionary in 1961.
Several authors have given definitions in an attempt to let people understand
what this phenomenon is all about. This module adopts the characterizations given
by the Japanese organizational theorist Ohmae, authors Holm and Sorensen, and
American Sociologist George Ritzer.
Kenichi Ohmae (1990), underlined that globalization is the onset of the
borderless world. He explained that states at present are more interconnected
because of their economic linkages. Capital, goods, technologies, human resources,
and services move across the globe making territorial borders less important. The
opening of the world economy provided trading opportunities to states specially
those belonging to the global south (used to be termed the Third World countries),
and this trade liberalization was aided by the widespread use of technology which
made it possible for people all over the globe to be acquainted with imported

Baylis, Smith, and Owens (2011) explained that globalization is not a new
phenomenon in human history. The definite date and place where globalization
commenced has always been the subject of debate among authors until these days.
Vanham (2019) explained that the process of globalization was spearheaded by the
sea activities launched by European monarchs for a variety of reasons; these
activities eventually led to European conquests of new lands outside their sphere. He
further discussed that global trade took place during this period when European
explorers connected the Eastern and Western parts of the globe using the sea routes
they discovered aided by the inventions that went along with the Scientific
Revolution.
On the other hand, Baylis, Smith, and Owens together with Vanham
emphasized that the process of globalization existed in three distinct waves in human
history.
The first wave of globalization (19th century-1914) was driven by the
Industrial Revolution in Great Britain. During this period, Great Britain’s empire
stretched across the globe; furthermore, the technological progress (like invention of
Peter Vanham
The second wave (1850-1945) of globalization points to the period when the
United States of America was regarded as the new hegemon (a country that
dominates the rest in the fields of politics, military, or economics) in the international
community. With the invention of cars, and airplanes as well as the aid that came
from international organizations that were managed by the USA, global trade arose
despite the ravages brought by the concluded war.

BSU has engaged in some mobility programs that enable faculty members and
students to enrich their teaching and learning experience by exposing them to the
educational, cultural, economic, or political situations in other countries. The more
recent activities of the BSU IRO such as internship programs, exchange programs,
Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) activities, and Departpment of
Foreign Affairs (DFA) activities are shared (among others) via its Facebook Page
(https://www.facebook.com/bsu.iro.1). All of these shared posts aim to inform and
invite the BSU students to be informed and eventually take interest to actively
participate to broaden students’ knowledge about the events and opportunities
beyond the Philippines.
BSU and its colleges also maintain active linkages with the following
universities abroad.
Indeed, BSU has been in touch with the international community for the
improvement of the processes and services that accords its students and immediate
community.
