Reading 3: “What is the relation between politics and globalization?” —TANG YINI

 In the article Political Globalization, authors Gerard Delanty and Chris Rumford explore the impact of globalization on politics and its multidimensional relationships. They point out that political globalization involves transnational processes beyond national borders, emphasizing the compression of space and time.

 1. Global Geopolitics: One major dimension of political globalization is the geopolitical landscape of global power. This involves power competition among different nations, especially major powers. Although the United States is seen as a global hegemon, it faces challenges from other centers of power. Globalization has not diminished the influence of nation-states; instead, it has subjected them to the pressure of transnational forces and facilitated the emergence of new polycentric networks of power.

2.Global Normative Culture: Another dimension is the rise of a global normative culture, such as human rights and environmental issues. This global culture transcends traditional state power and influences political communication on a global scale. While globalization promotes the spread of democracy, it also fosters global civil society and transnational courts, challenging state sovereignty. Nation-states are no longer the sole implementers of global norms, as global civil society and NGOs increasingly play a key role in global governance.

3. Polycentric Networks and Global Governance: Political globalization also involves polycentric networks of global governance that go beyond traditional forms of state politics. These networks are mobilized through international NGOs (such as Greenpeace) and transnational social movements, not only promoting social justice and environmental protection but also introducing new sources of instability, such as terrorism and global criminal organizations.

       Overall, political globalization creates complex interactions between nation-states, global forces, individual rights, and global civil society. While globalization enhances the possibilities for democracy and global cooperation, it also weakens national sovereignty and diversifies global governance structures.

  The Political Impact of Globalization With the accelerated development of globalization, international relations have become more and more close, and the political system has more and more significant influence on international relations. The political system is the organization and functioning mechanism within a country, while international relations are the interaction and interaction between countries. First, the impact of the political system on international relations can be seen in two ways. On the one hand, the stability and effectiveness of the political system play an important role in the stability and harmony of international relations. A country with a stable political system, reasonable distribution of power, impartiality and transparency can better maintain domestic stability and social order, thus providing a reliable partner for the international community. For example, countries under democratic systems tend to pay more attention to human rights and the rule of l...

What is the relation between economy and globalization? QU HONGYU

 Impact of globalization on the world economy With the continuous development of globalization, the world economy is undergoing tremendous changes. The impact and changes brought about by globalization are multifaceted and involve various fields such as economy, trade, investment, science and technology, culture and so on. 1.Globalization promotes the development of international trade Globalization has made international trade an important part of the world economy. By lowering tariffs, removing trade barriers and promoting trade liberalization, globalization has contributed to the growth of international trade. Increased trade flows between countries and significant increases in the mobility of goods and services have contributed to the optimal allocation and efficiency of global resources. At the same time, globalization has also promoted the formation of global supply chains, and various countries have formed close cooperative relationships in production, processing, and distri...

What is the relation between economy and globalization? SHENZIHE

 The economy and globalization are closely intertwined, mutually promoting and influencing each other. Globalization promotes economic development • Market expansion: Globalization has broken down trade barriers among countries, enabling enterprises to enter the global market. For example, many multinational corporations can sell their products all over the world, greatly expanding the market scope. The Coca - Cola Company, for instance, whose products are sold in more than 200 countries and regions, benefits from the market opening brought about by globalization. • Optimal allocation of resources: Each country can obtain resources on a global scale. Resource - rich countries can export resources, while countries with developed manufacturing industries can import resources for production. For example, the oil in the Middle East is exported all over the world, providing power support for the industrial production of oil - importing countries. • Technology and knowledge dissemination...
