What is the relation between politics and globalization? - Minjoo Kim

 1. summary

Politics basically means "the work of the ruling class to govern the country," but in modern society, it includes "all actions to acquire, occupy, and maintain the power of the state." Politics helps people live a human life, coordinates mutual understanding, and corrects social order.

Globalization refers to a phenomenon in which the boundaries of nation-states weaken in all sectors, including politics, economy, technology, society, and culture, and global society is integrated as interdependence between countries increases. Therefore, the relationship between politics and globalization depends on how close or distant the relationship between countries is.

2. My thought
I think the magnitude of a country's political power and the degree of globalization are proportional. In the case of a country like the United States, where politics not only affects Korea but also other countries, it is because other countries know that country well and have a great influence on other parts such as culture, economy, and technology. I think the greater this degree, the greater the degree of globalization, so it is proportional.

3. Discussion
what efforts should be made to protect independent politics without being significantly influenced by the politics of other countries?

    I found your post interesting, especially your explanation of politics as something that goes beyond formal government and shapes social order in everyday life. Your idea that political power and the degree of globalization are closely related was also thought-provoking, particularly the example of how influential countries affect others in multiple areas. The discussion question about protecting political independence is meaningful and makes readers reflect on how states can balance globalization with sovereignty.

What is globalization--Kim younggyun

 1) Summarize From what I understand, globalization is not merely an economic trend. It is a broad concept in which the world becomes increasingly interconnected on cultural, social, political, and even individual levels. Because globalization is such an all-encompassing idea, it is only natural that debates continue over its definition. This is exactly what made studying the concept of globalization difficult for me. That is why, like Robertson and White, I tried to understand globalization mainly through the two dimensions of increasing connectivity and growing consciousness. I find their approach persuasive. When internet, transportation, and trade expand, the connections between countries grow stronger, and naturally, people begin to perceive the world as a “single place.” 2) Interesting point What I found particularly interesting while studying globalization is that it does not simply lead to “one-sided homogenization.” I used to think of globalization only as the expansion of...

What is globalization? | Yun Shinji

1.   Summary It is difficult to define the concept of ‘globalization’ with a single meaning, as the term is used in various contexts with different implications. Sociologist Roland Robertson describes globalization as “the compression of the world and the intensification of consciousness of the world as a whole". Robertson and White further elaborate it as two main trends “an increase in global interconnectedness” and "an increase in global consciousness". In this way, globalization is a complex phenomenon in which the world becomes closely connected across borders, and it is used in multiple ways in different contexts. Globalization can be broadly divided into three dimensions cultural, political, and economic. Among them, cultural globalization is the phenomenon we experience most directly in our daily lives. For example, a cultural content that becomes popular can spread worldwide and be shared globally. However, this phenomenon also raises concerns about cultural hom...

What is the relation between politics and globalization? - Yun Shinji

1) Summary The author views “political globalization” as a multidimensional, accelerated, and interconnected form of organization that transcends national borders across space and time. Rather than seeing globalization as a simple reality, the author understands it as a “relational dynamic” that produces a complex and constantly shifting political landscape. According to the author, political globalization is driven by three key processes. First is global geopolitics. This involves interactions mainly between states, including traditional balances of power, international security, territorial disputes, and other state-centered dynamics. These geopolitical interactions continue to shape how states position themselves in an increasingly interdependent world. Second is the global normative culture, which refers to political values and norms—such as human rights and democracy—that are shared or diffused across the world. These norms influence how states govern internally and how they are e...
