A. Globalization refers to the process by which shared hegemonic values pervade societies
across the globe, drawing them into an ideological community, most often based on the
economic principles of capitalism.

interdependence, globalization is the result of the compression of space and time through
the development of new technologies.

into closer contact with one another primarily at the economic and technical levels. This
process began in the early 20th century and was based on the ideological expeditions that
originated from western Europe.
D. Globalization has occurred since the 1980s, originating in Western Europe as a centre of

In the context of globalization, how can we best define the term 'development'?
A. The term development refers to the human condition in which there is freedom from fear
and want; there are sufficient resources to sustain life and this life can exist in a state free
from the threat, or perceived threat, of sudden interruption.
B. To be considered as developed, a nation must have achieved certain economic and
political status within the global state system; the criterion for what constitutes a 'developed'
state is thus defined by those requirements of interaction in this system.
C. Development is a means to address the inequalities that accompany neoliberal
globalization. In this context, development refers to the ability of a population or community
to effectively utilize resources and increase efficiency in production and distribution,
promoting the more equitable distribution of income within society.
D. Development of a community refers to the ideological and ethical value systems to which
its population subscribes. In the globalised international system this refers to the adoption of
western liberal democratic ideology and free market economics.
