What is Globalization? -LEEKIHOON

1. SUMMARY

Globalization cannot be defined in a single way and there are various perspectives. Globalization is a controversial concept because it is interpreted from various academic fields and perspectives, and it is explained by citing Bellho's discussion from the perspective of understanding and interpretation rather than a fixed one, and shows the different premises and positions implied in it. It also shows that the term globalization was used in earnest after the collapse of the Bevelin Wall in 1989, referring to the gap between various approaches along with the economic-centered interpretation. It shows that the anti-globalization movement is not just a counteraction, it is also a resistance, which is one of the phenomena included in the globalization process. Finally, the authors nail it because it is a globalization, and emphasize the need to understand that the global and local are not separated, but as intertwined and entangled relationships, and to be reconstructed accordingly

2. Something new and impressive

The most impressive thing about reading this article is that we approached globalization as having a variety of questions and perspectives, rather than seeing it as a fixed definition. This implies the perception that it can be interpreted in a different sense depending on from which point of view. And one of the most impressive parts of it was the anti-globalization movement, which I usually saw as a confrontation to the world, and it was also impressive that it was a globalization process, which made me realize that resistance and criticism were also part of globalization.

3. What we're going to discuss
In future discussions, I thought it was necessary to first discuss what changes could happen to globalization in various fields. In other words, we will be able to look at the difference between research results and problem perception in an approach that treats globalization as an objective phenomenon and a framework of interpretation. I also thought that if the anti-globalization movement is an internal phenomenon, we could discuss what aspects of globalization the climate movement of today also reflects. This will be of great help in understanding that globalization is a dynamic process, including constant conflict and reconstruction.

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...
