Globalization

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the extent to which globalization has drawn the world together at the same time as it has also pulled it apart. Specifically, the paper looks at the development of regionalization and specialization economically and also looks at how (American and corporate) globalization imposes various pressures upon governments and cultures but also provides them with new opportunities for growth.

From the Paper:

"There can be little question that the world today is much more closely inter-linked than ever before. With this in mind, it is tempting to posit that international social relations have become so intensified that local happenings are almost invariably shaped by events thousands of miles and many time zones away. For the most part, this is precisely what has occurred - although the integration of various nations and cultures on a global scale has also led to some unexpected peculiarities that cannot easily be over-looked.
