The Influence of Globalization

Paper Summary:

Globalization is centuries old and has proceeded throughout history at an irregular pace and with uneven intensity. Economic and cultural globalization have accelerated again late in this century, after almost 50 years of regression. More and more, national economies are now integrated into a single global marketplace through trade, finance, production, and a dense web of international treaties and institutions. Cultural products with widely recognized icons are shared globally. The speed and intensity of global connection and integration in the last two decades have provoked serious debate about their cultural and social consequences and, in this context, deep concern about the continuing capacity of the state to provide social justice. The paper focuses not on economic globalization, usually the principal subject of analysis, but rather on the cultural and social dimensions of global connection and integration. This paper describes this idea and its origins so as to understand in depth the true rationale of globalization. It then examines the political and the economical proportions which power the environment of the debate in this area. This study is based on historical and descriptive analysis which is considered to be among the most popular methods in international and comparative studies. These methods help to trace the roots of the research problem and its effect on the present debate about globalization. At the same time, the descriptive technique helps explore the relationship between the different elements that are associated with the contemporary developments of globalization.

From the Paper:

"Such a radical undermining of people's existing values and cultures has a corrosive impact on their sense of who they are, what they want and what they respect. It attacks spiritual values and faith traditions. The cumulative effect in countries is a crisis of cultural confidence, combined with the increased economic uncertainty and crime which global integration often brings. This creates real problems for social solidarity, whether it is at the level of nation, community or family. While it offers shiny new goods as compared to old faded ones, the market offers no replacement for such community solidarity."
