GLOBALIZATION
 What is
Globalization?
• For economists and politicians globalization refers to the
integration of the national markets to a wider global market
signified by the increased free trade

• In 1990’s, activists run an anti-globalization campaign, this refers

to the movement of resisting the trade deals among countries
facilitated and promoted by global organizations.

• For Academics they view globalization as an interdisciplinary

approach and this is the approach used by the General Education

• According to Manfred Steger, it is the expansion and

intensification of social relations and consciousness across world-
time and across world-space.
EXPANSION

o Refers to the creation of new

social networks and the
multiplication of existing connections
that cut across traditional political,
economic, cultural and geographic
boundaries.

o Examples:
Social media- establish new
connections with people
NGOs- are networks that connect
a more specific group from different
corners of the globe
INTENSIFICATION
▹ Refers to the expansion, stretching and
acceleration of these networks.
▹ Not only are global connections are
multiplying. But they are also becoming more
closely knit and expanding their rich.
▹ Example: 5

There has always been as strong financial market

connecting London and New York. With the
advent of electronic trading, however, the volume
of that trade increases exponentially. The
connection thus is accelerating. Apart from this
acceleration the intensified trading network
between London and New York may expand and
stretch to cover more and more cities.
ACROSS TIME & SPACE

o Globalization processes does not occur

merely at an objective, material level
but they also involve the subjective
plane of human consciousness.

o People begin to feel that the world 6

has become a smaller place and

distance has collapsed from thousands
of miles to just a mouse-click away.
Globalization is different
from globalism

If Globalization represents
the many processes that
allow for the expansion
and intensification of
global connections,
globalism is a widespread 7
belief among powerful
people that the global
integration of economic
markets is beneficial for
everyone since it spreads
freedom and democracy
across the world.
