Reading Assignment 3: What is the relation between politics and globalization?

      Political Globalization -Gerard Delanty and Chris Rumford (1) Summary With regard to political globalization, it relates to an approach to the social world, emphasizing national and transnational processes and recognizing the compressed nature of space and time.The political globalization approach adopted in this chapter highlights the multifaceted nature of globalization, preferably as a relational dynamic rather than a new reality.

Reading Assignment 2:What is the relation between culture and globalization?

  What is the relation between culture and globalization? (1) Summary Globalization is not just a matter of politics, economic movements or the rise of trans-regional and large regions. Tomlinson believes that there is a multidimensional "globalization" in which the cultural dimension is an important area that needs to be studied separately. Tomlinson put forward the multi-dimensional view of globalization, because in the network of connections in the world he examined in his book " Cultural  Globalization", he could not be in the past economic, political, military, social, technological , to find a suitable place for global culture in the interpretation of the environment.

The  interesting thing is that there are some obvious changes in the gap by age. When the age is 50 or above, China has the highest values in the very good column, with 22.2 percent, Japan 8.8 percent, and South Korea 2.6 percent.Although the ratio of South Korea's opinion that it is very good is not large, it has the largest proportion among the three countries in the column of "good", with 80% believing it is good. On the Inglehart-Welzer cultural map, it can be seen that China, Korea and Japan are in the same plate. Geographically speaking, ...

What Is Globalization?Roland Robertson and Kathleen E. White

       What Is Globalization?Roland Robertson and Kathleen E. White 1)Summary Globalization is not only a process of integration, but also a process of diversification. In this process, different life forms interact, understand the world, express their views on the world, and also confirm their identity. Therefore, a remarkable feature of Robertson's globalization theory is that he regards globalization as a process of contradiction and unity, acknowledges that globalization and deglobalization occur and proceed simultaneously, attaches importance to the analysis of the global cultural system, and believes that cultural pluralism is a constituent feature of contemporary global conditions, including the symbolic response to globalization and the concept of explaining the world system, These in themselves are important factors that determine the trajectory of globalization. Global culture cannot and should not be a single culture or homogeneous culture, not to mention ...
