From the Paper:

"People use it to explain many things, but when asked to define it, the term often defies explanation. One source defines globalization as: The integration of the world's culture, economy, and infrastructure driven by the lowering of political barriers to transnational trade and investment and by the rapid proliferation of communication and information technologies. The term is often used in reference to the substantial impact of free-market forces on local, regional and national economies. (Globalization, 2006a) The key points in the given definition would seem to be culture, economy and infrastructure, since globalization is often blamed or praised for caused phenomena within each of these areas."
