(1980's) and the collapse of the
Soviet bloc in 1989-91. This lead

- Social Change
- George Ritzer calls global social
change the process of
'McDonaldization' whereby big TNC's

- Contrasting Views
- Some believe that globalisation is
a new phenomenon and sceptics
argue it is not historically
unprecedented e.g. statistical
evidence shows that the flows of
trade investments and labour since
the start of the 19th Centuryhas a
similar pattern therefore,
globalisation is a myth and no
more than a continuous integration
of national economies.
- Transformationalists
however assert that
globalisation is a
long-term perspective
and that its neither a
good or bad thing but
instead, is an ongoing
proces that may
continue or gradually
fade away.
