Reading Assignment 3: Political Globalization——LUAN QIANYUE
What is the relation between politics and globalization？
- Gerard Delanty and Chris Rumford
1) SUMMARY
In the case of political globalization
specifically involves a social world approach that emphasizes post-national and
transnational processes and an awareness of the compressed nature of space and
time. Political globalization has been much discussed in the globalization
literature, emphasizing the decline of the nation-state under the influence of
global forces, which produces different types of politics, on the one hand, the
development and mobility of transnational networks and, on the other hand,
processes of de-territorialization and re-territorialization. For some, the
process of political globalization opens up new possibilities for emancipation,
while for others, globalization leads to the loss of autonomy and the
fragmentation of the social world. The approach to political globalization
adopted in the article emphasizes the multifaceted nature of globalization,
which is best seen as a relational dynamic rather than a new reality. The
authors argue that political globalization can be understood as a tension
between three processes that interact to produce a complex field of global
politics: global geopolitics, global normative culture, and polycentric
networks.
1. Global Geopolitics
The nature of the emergence of geopolitics
and its evolutionary logic need to be studied in depth. It arises from the
natural differentiation of human beings, involving economic interests,
political interests, ethnic interests, and even geopolitical factors such as
family, ethnicity, and religion, which make the internal problems of nations
unfold as problems of interstate relations. Individual countries are able to go
global through geo-organizations or groups, and geopolitics transcends its
original meaning and becomes an inherent combination of historical geopolitics
and the geopolitics of the times.
2. global normative culture The core of
normative culture lies in the power of the individual, including environmental
issues, etc., which is one of the dimensions of globalization.
3. Polycentric Networks
Forms of non-territorial politics come from
multiple locations, rather than one center. This is related to the process of
political globalization with network flows as well as mobility and sources of
communication.
The integration of national politics with
the rest of the world. It means a network created by globalization. NGOs are a
matter of citizenship and human rights that national governments follow.
Therefore, it is difficult for national governments to impose their own rules,
which leads to human beings as if this is an interdependence on global
institutions, which control the country.
3) DISCUSSION
POINT
How is the UN involved in the process of
political globalization?
The United Nations is both a product of globalization and a powerful promoter of globalization. As the most representative international organization in the world, the United Nations is best qualified to act as a guide to globalization. Because of its high legitimacy, the UN is suitable as a platform for coordination among major powers, a link between sovereign states and non-state actors (including multinational corporations), and a promoter and disseminator of international norms. Peace, development and human rights are the positive forces of globalization and the goals that the UN seeks to achieve.

The United Nations maintains world peace through peacekeeping missions and observer missions. The Charter of the United Nations was signed to regulate wars among nations.
