Reading Assignment 3: Political Globalization--SUN DAIYANG

 What is the relation between politics and globalization ？

- Gerard Delanty and Chris Rumford

1.Summary

First of all,The “civil socialization” of politics both reinforces the idea that politics is increasingly shaped by a regulated global culture and points to the transformation of the nation-state as a venue for political struggle. Because of the conditions of globalization, the nation-state has apparently become detached from the state. The political community of the country does not exercise sovereignty over the country, and the country has lost most of its sovereignty. One dimension of the global transformation of nation-states is the rise of sub-state politics.
Global civil society greatly amplifies the global normative culture, and political globalization is most evident in the transformation of the wider public sphere through political communication and social change. The increased scale of politics as a result of globalization has led to a major reassessment of the role and meaning of borders and spaces in political construction. The emergence of new political spaces and the consequent border/reborder opportunities. Second, there is an increasing emphasis on mobility, flow and networking, which either connect existing places in novel ways or represent emerging spatial forms. The relationship between space and boundaries is central to understanding political globalization. New spaces and new forms of connection can be seen as an integral part of social and political relations. In modernity, the mastery of space – through boundary mechanisms, foundations Facility networks and state institutions - are at the heart of political community building.
Finally,The authors argue that political globalization can be understood as the tension between three processes that interact to produce a complex field of global politics; Global geopolitics, global normative culture, and multicentric networks. The globalization of democratic politics has been the foundation of "New World Order," which has been associated with the  United States' pursuit of world domination and the legitimacy of world wars. 

2.Interesting point
What I find interesting is that democracy is both popular and not credible by the majority. The globalization of the state, coupled with its political membership and institutionalized governance models, has shaped the general desire for democracy. According to this explanation, it can be said that a democratic country is an important carrier of political autonomy through popular sovereignty, and democracy is an important symbol of a democratic country in the world society. At the same time, the critique of democracy offers many forms of contentious issues.

3.Discussion
Political globalization and economic globalization are advancing and developing at the same time. Is there any conflict between the two?

[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...
