___________________ 4. Globalization is a historical process which is characterized by a growing
engagement between peoples on all corners of the globe (Modelski , 2003).

___________________ 5. Globalization is “bringing about a denationalization of economies through the

establishment of transnational networks of production, trade and finance” (Held et al,

2000).

___________________ 6. Globalization as the establishment and intensification of – in particular,

economic – interdependencies among different nations, which, in his opinion, would contribute to the

prevention of violent conflicts (Thomas Friedman, 1999).

___________________ 7. Globalization is dominated by transnational firms and financial institutions,

operating independently of national boundaries or domestic economic considerations (Milberg

1998).

___________________ 8. Globalization refers to all those processes by which the peoples of the world
are incorporated into a single world society, global society (Albrow, 1990).

___________________ 9. The world-wide interconnectedness between nation-states becomes

supplemented by globalization as a process in which basic social arrangements (like power, culture,
markets, politics, rights, values, norms, ideology, identity, citizenship, solidarity) become disembedded
from their spatial context (mainly the nation-state) due to the acceleration, massification, flexibilisation,
diffusion and expansion of transnational flows of people, products, finance, images and information
(Beerkens 2004).

___________________ 10. Globalisation may indeed mean the end of the nation-state if the nation-
state fails to redefine itself to meet the new conditions it faces in the global environment (Carnoy,
2001).

___________________ 11. The global economy is an economy with the capacity to work as a unit in real
time on a planetary scale (Castelles , 1996).

___________________ 12. The state as a ‘competition state' plays a fundamental role in
promoting globalization. However, this does not mean that, once the genie is out of the bottle,
globalization is reversible (Cerney, 1990).

___________________ 13. Globalisation can be defined as a material set of practices drawn from the
world of business combined with a neo- liberal market ideology (Curry & Newson 1998).

___________________ 14. Globalization is A social process in which the constraints of geography on

social and cultural arrangements recede and in which people are increasingly aware that they are
receding (Waters, 1995).

___________________ 15. Globalization has by and large become synonymous with state power
erosion. This zero-sum logic drives the reasoning process to the irresistible conclusion that global and
national are antinomies rather than interdependent , competing rather than complementary. (Weiss,
1999)
