Reading Assignment 3: Political Globalization——YE SIQI

What is the relation between politics and globalization？

 - Gerard Delanty and Chris Rumford

1）summary
Political globalization has been much discussed in the globalization literature where the emphasis has been on the decline of the nation-state under the impact of global forces, which have created different kinds of politics arising from, on the one hand, the development of transnational networks and flows, and, on the other, processes of de- and reterritorialization.According to the authors, political globalization can be understood as a tension between three processes that interact to create complex areas of global politics: global geopolitics, global normative culture and polycentric networks.The article explores political globalization from four aspects: the change of nationality and citizenship, the public sphere and political communication, civil society and space and borders.
Communication is at the heart of politics.In the broader context of global dissemination, the global public plays a key role in which they resonate and crystallize much of the content of public discussion.According to the author, the global normative culture is playing a leading role in shaping political communication.Moreover, global normative culture is spread in many forms and is carried by many different types of social subjects.
Globalization has led to changes in space and borders.The emergence of new political spaces and opportunities for boundary/reboundaryization, as well as greater emphasis on mobility, mobility and networks, can serve as connectivity.Space and boundaries can be pluralistic, overlapping and empirical.Under the conditions of globalization, the quantitative relationship between borders and territories has been reversed.Boundaries have become important spaces within and between politics.
Political globalization has led to a series of new tensions, mainly over the right to difference, individuals and communities, liberal democracy and cosmopolitanism.Indeed, political globalization has sought to create the possibility of expanding political conflict around a growing range of concerns, namely governance, identity, mobility and prominent communities.


2）Interesting point
The reference in the article to the result of the referendum on the French Constitution in 2015 on the ratification of the European Constitution demonstrates the importance of the people and their great role.People's solidarity is indispensable in the development of the country, which has a deep connection with the people.

3)Discussion

    That's a good expression. Political globalization may create a series of tensions, but the development of every country cannot be achieved without the solidarity of its people.

[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...
