Webster
 Robertson (1992), in his
article, Globalization:
Social Theory and Global
Culture, defined
globalization as the
“understanding of the world
and the increased
perception of the world as a
whole.”
Albrow and King (1990) defined
globalization as “all those
processes by which the people
of the world are incorporated
into a single world society. This
only means that peoples around
the globe live in a borderless
community.
Giddens (1991)
Globalization is the process of
intensifying social relationships
among countries around the world
connecting separate localities in a
manner in which local events are
formed as a result of happenings
that have occurred from afar.
There is a rapid interconnection
worldwide that links among people
in the local, national and even in
regional context. This
interconnectedness is created
because of social and economic
relationships and networks which
are relevant in the global
interactions.
Steger (2005) cited Freeden
(2003) who pointed out that
globalization denotes not an
ideology, but ‘a range of
processes nesting under one
rather unwieldy epithet. He
furthered that global flows
occur in different physical and
mental dimensions.

Globalization should be
confined to a set of complex,
social processes that are
changing out current social
condition derived from the
modern independence of
nation-states.

globalization have been defined such
as multidimensional set of social
processes that create, multiply,
stretch, and intensify worldwide social
interdependencies and exchange
while making people aware of
connections between the local and the
distant.
The term globalization should
be confined to a set of complex,
sometimes contradictory, social
processes that are changing our
current social condition based
on the modern system of
independent nation-states.
 Most scholars of globalization have
defined their key concept along those
lines as a multidimensional set of
social processes that create, multiply,
stretch, and intensify worldwide social
interdependencies and exchanges
while at the same time fostering in
people a growing awareness of
deepening connections between the
local and the distant.
IMF
 IMF (2000) noted that globalization
refers to an extension beyond national
borders of the same market forces that
have operated for centuries at all levels
of human economic activity which
includes village markets, urban
industries, or financial centers.
Hutton & Giddens
 Globalization is the interplay of extraordinary
technological innovation mixed with influence
of the world that gives today’s changing its

knowledge have become perhaps the most
significant factor in the determination of the
