Blogging through Media Trends and Globalization (2025)

1.  Summary Usually, as globalization progresses, the concept of borders goes beyond the idea that they will disappear, and even if politics becomes globalized, the existence of a state in a new environment, not just a decline of a state, will be more dynamically reorganized. Globalization is called globalization, but if you look closely, traditional global geopolitics such as interstate power and territory continues to be important, and a state is at the core of the global order. However, it is not unique. As a result of the formation of a global normative culture like environmental issues, universal standards are established beyond individual countries, such as the UN and NGOs. As a result, a new form of economic development with the traditional new order is being created, and thus transnationalization is being made in a way that shares the sovereignty of each country and reorganizes it in the right way, and ultimately, political globalization is opening up a more complex and som...

 summary The economy and globalization are more like a symbiotic relationship in which one side does not affect the other but restructures and develops together. At the center of this process is called transnational corporations (TNCs) that cross borders in search of wider markets and cheaper factors of production. They made investments through various methods such as mergers and acquisitions, and through this, they formed a complex and productive network called the global value chain. As a result, each country's economies are in a relationship where interdependence is inevitable. However, seeing the TNC as having absolute power is very different in reality. This is because most companies have their own social and institutional influence. For this reason, only a few companies can truly be called 'global'. For this reason, the relationship between the TNC and the state is not one-sided domination, but a continuous relationship that constantly coordinates according to each ot...

 1.  Summary Culture and globalization are having multiple impacts from one another, being shared in many ways. As a result, the spread of various cultural elements is accelerating as countries are connected and interdependence is increasing. For example, in K-pop and Hollywood, cultural products have gained worldwide popularity due to such globalization and are now more accessible to everyone than ever. However, there are some things that need to be discussed in this process, and one of them is that these develop around the uniformity and domination of culture. In other words, globalization risks promoting cultural exchange and at the same time strengthening the dominant culture. This could lead to the weakening of local traditions. The global spread of English is a prime example of this cultural dominance. Culture is no longer passively consumed, but actively reinterpreted by each individual, and people create new identities by mixing its social and global influences, which ...

 1) Summary Peter Dicken does not see economic globalization simply as "the expansion of markets across borders." His key argument is that the central actor of economic globalization is not an abstract 'market', but transnational corporations (TNCs). In other words, the global economy is not automatically integrated, but a result specifically created through companies' strategic choices and networks. Dicken criticizes the commonly imagined image of a 'stateless global company that transcends countries'. In fact, most TNCs are still deeply **embedded** in certain countries and regions, and production, research, and marketing functions are geographically and unevenly distributed. Economic globalization is not a process of creating a homogeneous global space, but rather a method of utilizing differences and imbalances between regions. In addition, economic globalization is not a single global production system, but a transnational production network intertwin...

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 acc...

  Globalization and the economy are closely connected in today’s world. As countries become more connected through trade, technology, and communication, their economies also influence one another. Globalization has changed how goods, services, money, and labor move across borders, affecting both national and global economic systems. This essay will explain the relationship between the economy and globalization by focusing on trade, multinational companies, and economic inequality. Expansion of International Trade  One of the most important economic effects of globalization is the growth of international trade. Countries can specialize in producing goods they are good at and trade with others for what they lack. This increases efficiency and often leads to economic growth. For example, developing countries can export manufactured goods, while developed countries may export technology or services. As trade increases, economies become more interdependent, meaning economic changes...

  1. Summary Political globalization is a multi-dimensional and accelerated political organization that transcends the boundaries of the nation-state, a phenomenon that focuses on de-national and transnational processes and recognizes the compression of space and time. This globalization can be understood as a tension between the three key interaction processes that create a complex global political sphere. First, global geopolitics involves democracies spreading globally and establishing themselves as a universal form of government. However, this forms a multipolar competitive structure that is still challenged by other state-centered power centers, not the absolute superiority of the United States. Second, a global normative culture allows legal norms, such as human rights, to spread through global communication to structure national politics, pressure national sovereignty, and provide actors with new normative reference points. Third, a multicenter network is a form of post-terr...
