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 law, which makes it easier for them to gain respect and trust from other countries in their international relations. On the other hand, differences in political systems can also have an impact on international relations. Differences in values, interests and decision-making patterns among countries under different political systems can lead to friction and conflict in international relations.

Furthermore, differences in political systems can affect national foreign policy and the way international cooperation is conducted. For example, democracies are more focused on the dissemination of human rights and democratic values, while authoritarian states are more inclined to maintain national security and stability. 

Second, international relations also have an impact on the political system. Interdependence and competition in international relations often compel countries to adapt their political systems to changes in the external environment. For example, economic competition and the flow of information in the era of globalization have forced many countries to reform their political systems to meet the demands of the international community. Such adjustments could include reforms in the liberalization of political institutions, democratization and the rule of law. 

In addition, the political system in international relations will serve as a model and a reference for other countries. A country with a successful political system often becomes a target for other countries to learn from. For example, the rise and development of Western democracy has had a profound impact on political systems around the world, and many countries have followed the Western model of democracy in political reform. 

However, there are also problems and challenges with the interplay between the political system and international relations.

First, conflicts and confrontations between different political systems can lead to tension and instability in international relations. For example, confrontation and competition between democratic and authoritarian systems often lead to regional conflicts and wars.

Second, the international community's judgment and interference in the political system can also cause tension and discord in international relations. For example, Western countries often intervene in the political system of other countries through sanctions and interference, which has led to a series of disputes and conflicts. 

To sum up, there are complex and subtle interactions between the political system and international relations. The stability and effectiveness of political systems play an important role in the stability and harmony of international relations, and differences and conflicts between different political systems can also have an impact on international relations. Interdependence and competition in international relations also compel states to adapt their political systems to changes in the external environment. However, there are also problems and challenges with the interplay between the political system and international relations. Therefore, we should actively explore a political system suitable for our own national conditions and promote the stability and development of international relations through cooperation and dialogue.

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...
