              Economic Globalization:Corporations  Peter Dicken (1) Summary Transnational corporations are highly mobile and can quickly arrange investment and production in response to political and economic changes in countries.TNCs undoubtedly have more advantages in negotiations between TNCs and the Governments of the investing countries.According to Peter Dicken, a professor at Manchester University, TNCs are the most active players in globalization today, and they can use their international investment and production to arrange capital flows quickly.Against this background, international experts, including Deacon, agree that TNCs have a negotiating advantage over nation-states when they engage in constant policy competition to attract investment.

  Economic Globalization   - CorporationsPeter Dicken 1) Summary The author denies the view that economic globalization has weakened the autonomy of nation-states, and carefully describes and explains the nature and significance of transnational corporations in the process of economic globalization. The following five points were mainly discussed: 1.The scale and geographical distribution of multinational corporations in the global economy: In fact, the forms and scales of transnational corporations are different. Global corporations operating in dozens of countries and transnational corporations operating only in one or two countries outside their headquarters have one thing in common, that is, they operate in different political, social and cultural environments. There are more and more kinds of multinational companies in the global economy. 2.why and how the company engages in transnational activities; Go-to-market investments: Improving profitability will likely depend on expanding

  A )  Summary The term "economic globalization" was first coined by T. Levy in 1985, but there is still no agreed definition. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), "economic globalization refers to the increase in the scale and form of cross-border trade in goods and services and capital flows, as well as the widespread and rapid diffusion of technology that has increased the interdependence of the world's economies". According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), "economic globalization can be seen as a process in which economies, markets, technologies and forms of communication are increasingly global in character and national and local identities are diminishing". To this end, economic globalization can be understood in three ways: firstly, the strengthening of economic ties and the increasing interdependence of countries around the world; secondly, the growing convergence of domestic economic rules; a

"Political Globalization"

1. Summary Political globalization is the growth of political systems around the world in terms of size and complexity. The system includes government-independent elements of global civil society, such as international non-governmental organizations and social movement organizations, as well as national, government and intergovernmental organizations. One of the main aspects of political globalization is the decline in the importance of nation-states and the rise of other actors in the political scene. The creation and existence of the United Nations is called one of the classic examples of political globalization. Global civil society is not defined in relation to the state. There is no simple consensus on the nature and dynamics of the global civil society, but it can generally be seen as meaning the complexity of NGO-led political campaigns. Political globalization has resulted in a new set of tensions in which politics are now structured. While major political conflicts have previo

- Is globalization good for China?   Globalization has certainly been good for China, and China has also benefited from globalization. Globalization is to take some economic and cultural things as a whole world, let these things expand globally. China's active participation in globalization is because it can bring more foreign things to China, and also bring some of our domestic culture and economy to the outside world, so there will be better results. Globalization has enabled China to realize resource complementarity. Countries should give full play to their advantages in market competition. Globalization is also conducive to the rapid dissemination of scientific and technological achievements and better solutions to global issues such as environment, resources and population. Globalization is the profound background and fundamental trend of today's world development and change. To properly understand and respond to globalization is not only conducive to China's harmoniou

  Economic globalization refers to the whole process of global organic economy which transcends national boundaries through foreign trade, capital flow, technology transfer, service provision, interdependence and interrelation. It is the flow of goods, technology, information, services, money, personnel and other factors of production across borders and regions.

  Is globalization good for China? The answer is unquestionably yes. China is a country with a large population and globalization will enable it to solve the problem of over productivity, and it will facilitate industrial transformation and further harmonize regional development. Globalization is a phenomenon of human social development. The exchange of cultures and the movement of goods and capital promote cooperation between countries in political and economic trade. After the 1990s, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the break-up of the bipolar pattern, globalization saw a new high point in its development and continued until the US-China trade war in 2018. In recent years, globalization has hit a snag, encountering two main challenges, one of which is the decline in Sino-US relations and the other is the new crown epidemic. In the broader context, the US-China rivalry will hardly ease in the coming years. The new crown epidemic, on the other hand, with the help of the vacc

  China and globalization For human society as a whole, globalization is generally beneficial. As for individual countries, the pros and cons of globalization need to be measured according to national conditions. In the absence of major breakthroughs in basic science leading to revolutionary changes in productivity, coordinating global resources and promoting the international division of labor is a reasonable way to enhance production efficiency. 1.Is globalization good for China?   -Globalization can enable the effective and rational allocation of capital, technology, market resources, and labor worldwide. Globalization accelerates the free flow of production factors around the world, forming a unified global market, thus promoting the globalization of multinational companies and the restructuring of global industries, and maximizing the optimal allocation of resources. From China's point of view, domestic enterprises will break through the limitations of domestic resources and t

China and Globalization——LI XINWEI

 1.  Is globalization good for China?       I think from the economic point of view, there is no doubt that globalization has been very beneficial to China. Embracing   globalization   is   the   best   way to bridge the gap between developing and developed countries. As the developing country with the largest population in the world, China initiated multilateral trade after its accession to the WTO in 2001 and also began to join the major trend of globalization.   Economic globalization has enabled China to enter the market of the world's manufacturers, enabling some developing countries to take advantage of their abundant labour force to provide them with a competitive advantage in the labour-intensive manufacturing industry. This is partly because many rich countries have loosened their barriers to foreign investment and lowered tariffs on imports.   In the 1970s and 1980s, with the gradual development of communications, the focus of manufacturing around the world gradually shif

1.  Is globalization good for China?   There are pros and cons, but I think the pros outweigh the cons. Although being involved in globalization has had a great impact on the self-esteem and confidence of the Chinese people, it has also brought many benefits to China: the mentality of blind arrogance was broken, and the elites began to actively learn from the West, which promoted the development of modern China. Awakening; globalization promotes economic development, changes in population growth patterns and improvements in urban sanitation. The main line of Chinese historical development has changed: from the single main line of the cycle of governance and chaos to two lines of Chinese tradition and Western civilization, the two lines compete and interact to dominate the future direction of Chinese history. 2.Is China good for globalization? I think this is unquestionable. Compared with anyone, I am more positive that an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years has participa

  China and globalization 1. Is globalization good for China? According to recent articles and blogs from The Economist. Globalization is good for China. During the time when China joined the process of globalization, great changes have taken place in China's economy, politics and culture. The impact of globalization is not only reflected in the continuous development of China's economy and the soaring GDP ranking, but also in the improvement of China's cultural soft power. After the Beijing Olympic Games was successfully held in 2008, Western media generally believed that the rise of China meant that the former "sick man of East Asia" no longer existed, and a vibrant eastern power had emerged. Among them, the United States was the first to take over the concept of globalization and promote it, trying to use globalization to promote American values ​​and development models in all aspects. As a latecomer, after years of arduous negotiations, China finally joined th

  (1) Summary This article by Gerard Delanty and Chris Rumford discusses political globalization and its three interacting dimensions: global geopolitics, global normative culture and polycentric network. Political globalization can be understood as the tension among three processes, which interact with each other and produce complex fields of global politics: global geopolitics, global normative culture and multi-center network. One of the most common forms of political globalization is the global spread of democracy based on parliamentary nation-states. The second dimension of political globalization refers to the rise of global normative culture. This is independent of geopolitics and legal to a large extent, but it spreads in global political communication. One of the main manifestations of this is human rights, which is at the center of global cosmopolitanism, but it also includes environmental issues, which are now global. Political communication is now global in scope, and it is

  China and globalization 1. Is globalization good for China? According to recent blogs and articles from The Economist.In my opinion globalization is good for China. Globalization is conducive to China's trade export, the introduction of foreign capital, the creation of more employment opportunities, the improvement of the international foreign trade environment, and the promotion of China's financial reform. China's export-oriented economy is bound to be inseparable from the international market. For example, fonts made in China can be found on products used anywhere in the world. Chinese culture goes out, and Chinese cultural festivals in various countries have enhanced China's influence and international status; scientific and cultural exchanges have promoted the progress of China's science and technology. In terms of the environment, globalization has brought environmental protection awareness to China, and most of the environmental protection ideas come from W

1. Is globalization good for China? I think globalization is good for China, which weakens tariff barriers, helps to expand exports, facilitates China's advantageous industries to go global, helps China gain worldwide technical and management experience, and helps to promote economic and mutual benefits between countries. As the largest developing country in the world, China's economic globalization has promoted the development of multinational companies in developing countries, and gradually strengthened their competitiveness in the world market. However, from the development trend, economic globalization provides opportunities for developing countries to actively participate in international competition in a wider range of fields.

Reading Assignment 3: Political Globalization—hyojin lim

summary   Communication is central to politics. The nation-state is based on a centralized communication system, ranging from national newspapers and media, such as the national system of education and science, to national celebrations and popular culture. Most ethnic countries are based on increasingly standardized ethnic languages over time. Furthermore, political parties have been at the center of the massive device of political communication that they have used for social influence. The world is not outside the social world, but within it in various ways. Therefore, it can be seen that political communication in the public domain is increasingly framed by global issues. Broad changes in the public sphere It is possible to talk about a communicative kind of political globalization in the face of economic globalization. As argued earlier, this is different from the global geopolitics that led to the transnationalization of the country according to the rise of the global economy. Give

Reading Assignment 3: Political Globalization——ZHENGYAYUAN

 1. Summary Specifically, political globalization involves an approach to the social world that emphasizes post-national and transnational processes and an awareness of the compressed nature of space and time. Political globalization has been widely discussed in the globalization literature, where the focus is on the decline of the nation-state under the influence of global forces, which has created different types of politics, on the one hand the development of transnational networks and flows, and on the other the processes of de-territorialization and re-territorialization. For some, the process of political globalization has opened up new possibilities of emancipation, while for others, globalization has led to a loss of autonomy and the fragmentation of the social world. The approach to political globalization adopted in this report, the one adopted in this chapter, emphasizes the multifaceted nature of globalization, which is best seen as a relational dynamic rather than a new re

Reading 3: Political Globalization - Delanty and Rumford

 1) Summary This article by Gerard Delanty and Chris Rumford discusses political globalization and its 3 interacting dimensions global geopolitics, global normative culture, and polycentric networks. First, Global geopolitics discusses democracy and how it is one of the bigger forms of political globalization as there is now democratic parties or demand for democracy in most countries all over the world. Next, the dimension of global normative culture. Here the authors talk about the rise of global political communication around topics like human rights or the environment. This creates global norms that are agreed upon worldwide even if they are not created by the state systems. Finally, they discuss Polycentric networks which relates to nonterritorial politics that are not specifically bound to one place. They relate to networks and flows, new sources of mobility and communication, and show new relationships between individuals, state and society. The authors explain this using the te
