2. What is Globalization?

What is Globalization?

 1) It is so hard to define ‘Globalization’ just a one sentence. The man who defined globalization for the first time is sociologist Roland Robertson. He defined “the compression of the world and the intensification of the consciousness of the world as a whole.” Besides, other sociologist defined globalization.

We recognized globalization as three parts ; Cultural, Political, Economic. First, the cultural globalization is easy to realize. It is an identical symbol, ideology and systems of uniform behavioral norms over the world. For example, international popularity of Gangnam style of Korean culture come under the cultural globalization. The cultural globalization has been studied in various ways like Cultural Homogenization, Cultural Hegemony, Westernization, Americanization and etc.

The political globalization is a development of a political infrastructure of global governance that resolve international conflicts of problems. Most new glabal governance is operating undemocratically. There are Many various international organizations that resolve international problems. They operate with their purpose; OECD, WTO, IMF, IBRD, BIS. These organizations will be more powerful as time goes by.

The economic globalization is increasing amount of trade between countries and economic interdependence of national economies all over the world. It isn’t just their own problem that is an financial crisis of some country. It can be threaten global economy. Think about financial crisis of European countries like Greece of Spain. At that time, not only European countries but also Asian countries an U.S felt serious economic crisis situation. The Economic globalization has been made possible with the evolution of Capitalism ideology over the past few hundred years and economic integration over the world.

 2) It is very interesting that each of countries has a kind of interdependent organizational power. Because conflicts and disputes are still existing, even if they know about that.

 3) Honestly, I think that most of countries understand the concept of globalization. In the Joseon Dynasty, we used to take a policy of seclusion. However, we already know that it is unnecessary. we know that globalization is natural. but why do conflicts and disputes still exist?
