"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 previously centered on class division, state-to-civil society, division between tradition and industrial economies, or resistance to imperial rule, supplementary debates have revolved around a changed set of interests: rights to differences, individual-to-community, liberal-democratic versus cosmology. Politocracy Indeed, political globalization has sought to create the possibility of the spread of the scene of political conflict over a set of extended interests, such as domination, identity, mobility, and communities that stand out among them.

2. Interesting point

The centrality of global civil society to political globalization lies at the confluence of the establishment of a polycentric governance mechanism (Scholte 2004) and the emergence of transnational movements and networks that erode more territorial organizational forms. Moreover, global civil society undermines the importance of territorial states or encourages individuals to see themselves less exclusively as national cities for a new type of networked opposition, Castells 1997, which interprets Mexico's Zapatista rebels as the world's first information guerrilla movement.as an international individual endowed with natural rights

3. Discussion

The question arises as to whether political globalization means the decline of the nation-state. Hyper-globalists argue that globalization has enveloped today's world in a way that national boundaries begin to lose meaning. Skeptics, however, believe that the nation-state remains the best actor in international relations and dismiss it with naivety.

Cultural Globalization - Tomlinson   (1) Summary Globalization is not just a matter of politics, economic movements or the rise of trans-regional and large regions. Tomlinson believes that there is a multidimensional "globalization" in which the cultural dimension is an important area that needs to be studied separately. Tomlinson explains the importance of time and space issues, cultural imperialism, "deterritorialization," the impact of media and communication technologies, and the possible development of more international cultures by examining the relationship between globalization and contemporary culture . John Tomlinson introduced the dimension of culture in the research of globalization theory, trying to construct the global cultural picture. He analyzed the relationship between globalization and culture, put forward the proposition of global culture, and defined the concept of global culture. Emphasizes the necessity of studying global culture. In his view,
