Political Globalization

2020055223 HyoseungChae


1. Summary

In the book, the background of the transmission from a nation-centered world to a pluralistic network of governance, the development of a global political culture that works partly to maintain national stability, and the central question fished by political globalization are the extent of division. The social world leads to a loss of political autonomy, when three things summarized as the universalization of nationally embedded democratic models, the beginning of a global normative culture, and the 'civil socialization' of governance are complex and sometimes contradictory. First, nationalist globalization and a model of political membership and institutionalized governance have shaped a universal desire for democracy. Second, the global normative culture, which has been propagated by INGO over a long period of time and adapted the development of nation-states into a global form, has been applied as a background to the global norms of personality assuming the world of individuals supported by human rights law. Third, it is said that the development of pluralistic networks, especially global civil society, creates new opportunities for autonomy and recognizes various new actors and new ways of governance, but at the same time can lead to new instability and risks. Political globalization has resulted in a new set of tensions in which devices are currently structured. While major political conflicts were centered on class division, state-only societies, divisions between traditional and industrial economies, or resistance to imperial rule, supplementary debates revolved around a changed set of interests, individual-to-community, and liberal-democratic versus Cosmo. Political ideas have indeed been applied by political globalization to create the possibility of the spread of places of political conflict over an expanded set of concerns.

2. Interesting Point

Among the parts that have spoken of the new political space and the relationship between borders at the World Congress, it relates to Castels' work, which argues that a network society consists of spaces of place and spaces of flow that exist in tension. In this book, the space of flow refers to 'social practice without geographical proximity', the world of mobility and network connectivity, and the space of place refers to the form of a spatial organization defined in the domain. This section introduces that the emergence of a network society is a sign of the decline of an industrial society, the former depending on the space of the flow and the latter on the place.

3. Discussion Point

Regarding the concept of civil society, it refers to the political sphere between the state and the market where informal politics is conducted for the current purpose. On the global side, this corresponds to a new space independent of global capitalism beyond the realm of state and government. It is said that various kinds of social movements such as international nongovernmental organizations, various organizations, and global civil society movements such as global social forms have formed a global civil society. It is also said that the logic of globalization proves the central logic of political modernity in expressing internal conflicts within the political framework of autonomy versus division. I want to hear other students' opinions related to this.

[Hofstede's dimensions] Comparing South Korea, China & Japan

Image
   I compared Korea, China, and Japan using Hofstede's dimension. What are the cultural measures of neighboring countries with similar cultures? [Masculinity]  Japan's index was the highest with 95 points. I think this is related to the indicator of individualism. In the case of individual-centered Japan, not group-centered, it focuses on individual performance and shows a strong preference for achievement or success. Therefore, I think a high number came out of Masculinity. On the other hand, in Korea, efforts are made to reduce unnecessary conflicts and maintaining relationships is important. Therefore, I think it shows a relatively low score in Masculinity. [Long Term Orientation]   The reason why Korea scored 100 points in terms of long-term orientation is that Korea is such a practical and long-term-oriented society. The Hofstede Insight website says Korea encourages saving and effort in modern education as a way to prepare for the future. However, both cou...

Hofstede's dimensions_ Comparing South Korea, China, Japan (MINJI JEONG)

Image
       Korea, China, and Japan are three neighboring countries in Central Asia and have many cultural connections. Therefore, the three countries were compared through the Hofstede's index. First, it is Power Distanced. This is an indicator of the hierarchical degree of each country. The hierarchies of the three countries are in the order of China, Korea, and Japan.      In terms of individualism , Japan has the highest score of 46. It can be interpreted that this item means the degree of personalization of the country. In comparison, China and Korea recorded around 20 points. This is presumed to be largely influenced by 'collectiveism', a virtue of society that has been emphasized since ancient times.   This can also be found to be related to the number of masculinity . Japan also has the highest score of 95. China followed with 66 points and South Korea with 39 points. I think it reflects Japan's strong individualism and meritocracy.   The...

Reading Assignment 4: Economic and Globalization -CAI YAYU

  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...
