What Is It
One outstanding phenomenon from which emanated several global networks is globalization.
It comes from the word globalize which refers to the rise of global networks of economic systems.
Generally, globalization is a process involving the interconnections, diffusion, and exchange of
goods(production), services(technology), ideas (communication), and people.
In line with this definition, social theorist Paul James (2014) identified Four Different Forms of
Globalization:
EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION
Globalization affects your life and everyone else’s no matter your location and distance from
other people. Globalization has the following dimensions:
1. Economic Globalization – refers to international business which covers all contracts and
negotiations concerning sales, investments, mobilization, and related transactions
undertaken by two or more regions, countries, and nations outside their political territories. It
also involves human power, capital, goods for global consumption and maintenance services
such as banking, insurance, engineering, construction, information technology and other
profitable ventures.
2. Sociocultural Globalization – refers to the spread of ideas, values, and broadening social
relations. It paves the way for the creation of shared norms as well as of broader and deeper
knowledge of other cultural identities. This facilitates increased interrelation and
interconnection among variegated cultures and populations and a better appreciation for one
another.
3. Social Globalization – covers the diffusion of beliefs, practices, and issues concerning
population growth, media, urbanization, tourism, education, and sports that also drive
nations, institutions, and governments to expand social relations.
4. Political Globalization – this involves institutions, public policies, and practices that cut
across national borders to facilitate international agreements and transactions.
5. Natural Environment Globalization – concerns of the environment where the interaction of
living species takes place. Many environmental problems to be addressed such as water and
air pollution, overconsumption of fish and other marine resources, and global warming. The
intense desire for high economic growth, foreign capital and technological advancement of
many countries has forced them to deregulate some of their environmental and resource
protection laws.

THE DIMENSIONS AND COMPONENTS OF GLOBALIZATION.
International travel, trade and migration served as the stimuli for globalization. However, a new
vehicle of globalization, and the fastest at that has appeared. The Internet both a product and a
stimulus of globalization, plays a key role in connecting peoples and integrating polities, economies,
and cultures and is unconstrained by national boundaries. It offers individual access to an enormous
amount of information and data available. The internet connects computer users all over the world.
In 2010, computer users comprised 22% of the world’s population. Three hundred million were
internet users reading blogs, 1 billion used google daily, and 2 billion viewed YouTube videos every
day.
Indeed, the internet is currently the fastest vehicle of globalization, defying distance that once
hampered communication and human interaction. All these happen within the confines of the home.
Much time, money, and energy are saved and can be utilized for other productive activities. The speed
of communication and transaction among individuals and firms have become faster with the aid of
internet.
Globalization seems to have two faces like the yin and yang, or the positive and negative
elements close together. This concept describes opposites as interdependent and interconnected with
each other.
1. Delocalization – covers the decreasing face-to-face encounter both local and international
transactions. Telephone, mobile phone, email and video chat have substituted for the
physical interactions of people, diminishing the opportunity to establish closer and
improved relations through personal encounters.
2. Decrease in the Power of National Government – is perceived to have shrunk the power of
national governments due to the internationalization of financial markets, new
technology, and services which tend to constrain the national government’s freedom of
action.
3. Social Inequality – unregulated capitalism led to the unbalanced economic development of
some regions. While a few countries in a particular region gained tremendous wealth,
many were left in poverty.
ADVANTAGES OF GLOBALIZATION
1. Access to New Cultures
2. The spread of technology and innovation
3. Lower costs for products
4. Higher standard of living across the globe.
5. Access to new markets
6. Job creation
7. Increase production of companies due to high demand.
DISADVANTAGES/RISKS OF GLOBALIZATION
1. Delocalization
2. Non-controlled circulation of money (free market)
3. Exploitation of the workers in a developing country.
4. The mix of cultures can lead to racism, xenophobia, intolerance, and loss of national identity.
5. Gap between rich and poor people increases.
6. Unequal opportunities and financial insecurities
7. Environment degradation and destruction of small farmers
8. Low wages and exploitation of child labor
The migration of people in search of work, whether domestic or international, has ever since been
a common phenomenon. People are unable to find work in their locality or home country and would
search for places where work opportunities are available.
The interrelations and exchange among peoples, nations industries, and institutions have been
carried out more effectively and fruitfully by means of collaboration and cooperation. These
concepts are interchangeably used, although there are, in a stricter sense, some differences.
Collaboration is working together toward a common end or goal by actors (people, nations,
industries, and institutions) who are not necessarily allies. In collaboration, the actors
set aside their differences and focus on their mutual interest which is the attainment
of common goals. Cooperation is jointly working in pursuit of a common end or goal
by actors.
Cooperation is better understood in the study of regionalism or the interrelations among the
actors in a particular geographic area.
