- 1What is Globalisation?increasing global interconnectedness, whereby flows of goods, services, capital, workers etc. increasingly stretch around the world: encouraged by trade and revolutions in communication and technology.
- 24 Key Concepts of GlobalisationStretched social relations: impacted of culture, economics, politics to distant places.
Intensification of flows: increased volume of flows.
Interpenetration: a two way process.
Global infrastructure: formal and informal structures to manage and coordinate increasing activities of networks. - 3Optimist globalists (Neo-liberalists)McLuhan - Global Village. Sees free market capitalism generating everyone as winners from world trade, with less corruption and less inequality between the rich and poor. Capitalism does create growth but it creates a gap between rich and poor.
Useful as they argue globalisation is a positive thing in which there is less corruption, less inequality etc.
However, Marxists challenge this optimism arguing that globalisation has lead to polarisation. - 4Pessimist globalists/fatalistssees world as potential losers from globalisation with growing uncertainties and widening gap between rich and poor along with cultural imperialism. makes rich rich and poor poor.
Useful - highlights polarisation with other problems - gender inequality, 'mcdonaldisation', organised crime, pollution and environmental degradation. Shows how globalisation benefitted men more than women.
However, pro-globalisation supporters like Norberg see an unrestrained global economy as driving jobs, growth and wage - especially in the developing world. However, we still have a struggle of jobs and growth in developing countries. - 5InternationalistsRecognise chage has happened but powerful continuities in nations and significant local and national production and consumption g. IKEA, Lidl, etc.
Don't think everything is the same, each country will always have their own unique identity even if they do share different cultures.
C: Neo-liberalists and Marxists would point out the power and growth of TNCs and the New International Division of Labour and concepts like cultural imperialism. - 6Transformationalistsmid ground between globalists and internationalists and see the impact of globalisation as being exaggerated by globalists, but do not reject globalisation entirely.
Recognise important changes taking place in global cultural flows but flows can be regional as well as global
