                                                              economic globalization - Dicken 1) Summary Dicken  pointed out in this book that "economic activities are not only becoming increasingly international but more importantly, becoming increasingly global." He pointed out that "internationalization" simply refers to the expansion of the geographical distribution of cross-border economic activities, which is not a new phenomenon.  The "globalization" of economic activities is qualitatively different from internationalization. Globalization is a more advanced and complex form, which means the integration of internationally scattered economic activities to a certain extent. Globalization is a newer phenomenon than internationalization; it is a mode in the ascendant in the ever-expanding range of economic activities...

                                       Political Globalization - delanty and rumford 1) Summary In this book, the author highlights the multifaceted nature of globalization by introducing the globalization of politics,  THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE NATION-STATE, NATIONALITY AND CITIZENSHIP,  THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE AND COMMUNICATION,  THE CENTRALITY OF CIVIL SOCIETY, and  THE TRANSFORMATION OF SPACES AND BORDERS.  The author argues that the relationship between politics and globalization is a dynamic rather than a new reality. Political globalization can therefore be understood as a tension between three processes. The interaction of these three processes produces the complex realm of global politics: global geopolitics, global normative culture, and polycentric networks. Also understand the basic characteristics of political globalization, ...

                  Comparing China, Japan, Korea on the importance of family in life Due to the geographical relationship, China, Japan and South Korea are all eastern countries in Asia. Based on the cultural exchanges and infiltration of the three countries for thousands of years, China, Japan and South Korea have some similarities in cultural background and living customs. Compared with Western cultures that respect individualism, Chinese, Japanese and Koreans pay more attention to social groups based on family and family, and respect "group consciousness" in everything. To discover oneself in the relationship with others, the traditional concept of "family-oriented" has been influencing and dominating the thoughts and behaviors of the people of the Three Kingdoms. From a socio-cultural perspective, I compare the importance of family in the lives of Chinese, Japanese and South Korean citizens. Through the <World Values Surv...

                                       cultural globalization - Tomlinson 1) Summary Globalization is a hot topic right now, but debates are always locked into certain academic discourses. In the contemporaneous network of world connections examined in this book, the author cannot find a proper place for global culture within the economic, political, military, social, technological, and environmental explanations of the past. Tomlinson seeks to correct a misconception that global culture is motivated by factors other than culture alone. Unlike scholars who turn differences into opposites, Tomlinson's research method is full of dialectical thinking, and his classification is therefore more detailed and objective. For example, Tomlinson cites the example of Anthony Giddens to criticize, Tomlinson distinguishes between "culture and the science and technology that underpin it."...

                 What Is Globalization? - Roland Robertson and Kathleen E. White 1) Summary Through this book I learned about the concept of globalization, but the definition of globalization is controversial. The author gives us a simple understanding of the process of discussion and research on the concept of globalization through examples and background. Globalization not only refers to the increasingly interconnected objective facts in the world, but also refers to cultural and subjective problems. Globalization is not simply an economic issue, a political issue, a social issue or an international relations issue, but above all a cultural issue. We should not only take a cultural focus on globalization, but also understand and study it from a cultural perspective, because the global sphere as a whole is, first and foremost, a sociocultural system, a global cultural system composed of pluralistic societies. In addition, acco...
