I believe that there is indeed a close interaction between the two. First, globalization has expanded the interdependence of nations, a dependence that has compelled Governments to adjust their policies in response to an ever-increasing number of global challenges. For example, issues such as climate change, transnational trade issues, and global public health crises (e.g., Covid-19) are often beyond the capacity of a single country and require extensive cooperation among nations to find solutions. Another important effect of globalization is that it has brought about a greater flow of information, which has made it easier for ordinary people to learn about international affairs. By being exposed to more international information, citizens have come to expect greater transparency and accountability in their own politics, which has contributed to a degree of political progress.

 At the same time, governments and a number of international institutions, such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization (WTO), have played a crucial role in setting rules and agreements. Through international trade agreements, many countries have been able to lower tariff and non-tariff barriers, which has paved the way for further globalization. A good example of this is the trade duty-free agreement between the United Kingdom and Australia, like the one I mentioned in my answer to the question in today's class. This kind of agreement not only promotes the economic exchange between the two countries, but also sets an example of cooperation for other countries. So I think the relationship between politics and globalization is a two-way interaction. Politics provides a framework of rules for globalization, such as regulating the conduct of transnational economic activities through various international agreements; and the deepening of globalization in turn affects the political behavior of countries and even weakens national sovereignty to a certain extent. In particular, international institutions such as the WTO are the key link between the two. It not only provided institutional safeguards for globalization, but also enabled countries to find a balance of cooperation in the wave of globalization.

What is the relation between politics and globalization? QU HONGYU

  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...
