What is the relation between politics and globalization?

Politics and globalization influence and interact with each other.

In terms of politics at the national level, national policies can promote or hinder globalization. For example, a country adopting an open trade policy, welcoming foreign investment, and actively participating in international organizations and multilateral agreements will promote economic globalization. Free trade agreements signed by many countries, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), reduce trade barriers and promote cross-border flow of goods and services, which reflects the role of national political decisions in promoting economic globalization.

Globalization also brings challenges and opportunities to national politics. On the one hand, the growing influence of multinational corporations may pose challenges to national economic sovereignty and regulatory policies. On the other hand, countries can make use of the resources of globalization, learn advanced management experience and technology, and improve the level of national governance.

At the international political level, the political game of various countries is also clearly reflected in the process of globalization. Strategic competition among major powers, geopolitics and other factors will affect the trend of globalization. For example, in the field of science and technology, the competition between some countries on 5G technology, semiconductor chips and other high-tech industries will affect the global industrial chain and trade pattern. At the same time, international organizations play a role in coordinating the political differences among countries in the process of globalization, and institutions such as the United Nations balance the interests of countries and promote global cooperation by formulating international rules and agendas.

HUANG LINGXUAN （What is globalization?）

The term "globalization" first appeared in 1962, and today it has transformed from a specialized term into a common expression. <The Economist> called it “the most overused word of the 21st century.” Merriam-Webster defines globalization as the process of promoting activities and motives across global spaces, a process that has been ongoing for a long time. In fact, the roots of globalization can be traced back to humanity’s early migrations and expansions. The year 1492 marked a significant milestone in the history of globalization. The discovery of the New World brought together people who had been isolated for millennia, and various species began to exchange globally. For example, Peru’s potato and Mexico’s chili peppers spread around the world, while Ethiopian coffee found new homes in Brazil and Vietnam. During this period, different societies not only evolved in diverse ways and established unique political and economic structures but also developed different tech...

What is Globalization? -Dabin Kim

Globalization refers to the process by which countries around the world are economically, politically, socially, and culturally interconnected. As time and space constraints are reduced due to the development of technology and communication, interactions between countries become closer and the world works like a "one global village." Roland Robertson defined globalization as a "spread of global consciousness," while Anthony Giddens described globalization as a "compression of time and space," stressing that local events have an immediate impact on the world. There are economic globalization, cultural globalization, and political globalization. Economic globalization is a phenomenon in which economies are connected to each other through the free exchange of goods, services, and capital between countries. For example, the spread of multinational corporations and the increase in international trade are prime examples of economic globalization. Multinational c...

Blog1: What is globalization? - Jeongeun Park

Blog1: What is globalization? In the 21st century, as globalization progresses rapidly in various fields, such as the media industry and the IT field, I believe that there might be no one who doesn't know the word "globalization." Nevertheless, it is questionable whether they know exactly what globalization is. According to Roland Robertson and Harrison White, emphasizes different aspects of the global interconnectedness in sociology and cultural theory. While both of them recognize the sweeping influence of globalization, their perspectives separate in meaningful ways. Robertson looks at the cultural and global consciousness it fosters, whereas White focuses on how globalization impacts the social relationships and structures that bind people and institutions. Especially, the concept of “Glocalization” suggested by Robertson was interesting to me. This means that local cultures actively reshape global influences to fit their own context. I reckon that the perspective sho...
