What is the relation between politics and globalization? 


1) Summary


The article explains into political globalization's multifaceted dimensions, focusing on global geopolitics, normative culture, and polycentric networks. It challenges the idea of a unified global order, emphasizing transnational actions that challenge neoliberal politics. Four key transformations are explored. Changes in nationality and citizenship, shifts in the public sphere and political communication, the rise of global civil society, and alterations in spatial dynamics due to globalization.                    

At its core lies an analysis of global power geopolitics, highlighting the absence of a singular dominant force on the global stage. Even established powers like the US face challenges within this complex global milieu, debunking the notion of a unipolar world.

Another dimension studies into the emergence of a global normative culture. This cultural paradigm, pivoting on issues like human rights and unified political communication, challenges the sovereignty of individual states. It reshapes the narrative of global politics, transcending national boundaries to establish a new normative framework.

Central to the discourse is the exploration of polycentric networks. These non-territorial entities, such as global civil society, extend beyond state control, significantly influencing global governance models and reshaping the dynamics of international relations.

It shows the European Union as an example of political globalization, with concerns that it could lead to the loss of autonomy for each country. In addition, the discipline as an alliance exists above the discipline of the nation-state. However, globalization does not weaken it, but rather becomes a means of claiming national sovereignty. It is only carried out at the transnational level with other countries, but rather makes a functional national system work.

The article emphasizes the interconnectedness of these dimensions. It illustrates a landscape where geopolitics, global cultural norms, and the rise of polycentric networks intersect, propelling the world toward a trajectory favoring multilateralism. However, it disputes the anticipation of a restructured global governance system. Instead, it argues that political globalization triggers transnational actions challenging the existing neoliberal political framework. This dynamic creates a palpable tension between retaining political autonomy and grappling with fragmentation within the global political framework.

Moreover, it explains into the broader ramifications of political globalization on essential facets like nationality, citizenship, the public sphere, civil society, and the transforming landscapes of spaces and borders. It highlights the transformation of the public sphere and the burgeoning influence of civil society, particularly in the global context. However, its focus primarily on Europe overlooks the enduring significance of nation-states across much of Asia, Africa, and the Americas, where globalization strengthens rather than diminishes their importance.

Through its analysis of political globalization's various dimensions, the article grapples with intricate dilemmas arising from the interwoven nature of democracy, global normative culture, and burgeoning polycentric networks. 


 

2)Interesting point


I thought that political globalization had no choice but to trigger the end of ideology. Political methods are transmitted from powerful countries, and the world order is maintained that way. But liberal democracy is an ideology that values individual freedom and rights, both politically and economically, that is spread through inspiration and exchange between people who want to share these values. It was found that through the free flow of information and international solidarity, new ideas and values spread around the world, and it was possible to promote the movement to use them as an example in various societies. Of course, not all expressions and arguments will produce positive results in this process.


3)Discussion


In the political globalization part, the emergence of global civil society, fair areas, and changes in political communication were explained in a positive sense, such as solidarity. However, in this civil society, people are divided according to ideology and thoughts, and a world of hatred has arrived. There are numerous conflicts, such as gender conflict, religious conflict, political conflict, and regional conflict, and I think it has become a world that easily criticizes and abhors in globalization rather than talking to each other in consideration. If so, I think we need to think about how to solve these parts together.

Introduction to our blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from the Fall 2023 class in Media Trends and Globalization at the Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. For each section of the course, you are expected to post a blog post on relevant readings on our blog here and make a comment on another student's post. An ideal commentary should be about 800 words, divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incorporated into our class discussions. You are allowed to quote an interesting passage from the text(s) you've read, but the quotes will not count toward any length requirements. Blog’s deadline is always: Sunday, midnight, of the week the question is poste

What Is Globalization? - HUANG YIXIAO

1) summarize  To characterize globalization are the following. First, globalization consists primarily of two major directional tendencies, increasing global connectivity and increasing global consciousness. Consciousness does not imply consensus, merely a shared sense of the world as a whole. Second, globalization has a particular form, one which has been, to all intents and purposes, consummated by the founding of the United Nations organization. This means that, like the operations of the UN, globalization is focused upon four points of reference: nation-states; world politics;  individuals; and humankind. Third, globalization is constituted by four major facets of human life -  namely, the cultural, the social, the political, and the economic. These dimensions are in reality heavily  intertwined, one or two aspects being more prominent at any given time or place. For example, in the modern world, the cultural and the economic are closely interpenetrative. For these reasons, a numbe

Online blog writing assignment 1/ What is globalization? /MENGRU LI

Summary Globalization is defined as four main aspects: economic, political, social, and cultural. The author suggests that many sociologists overlook the social dimension within it. In fact, the dissemination and diffusion of social interaction and communication methods around the world is crucial in the process of globalization. In addition, the author emphasizes that attention to the environment is a part of contemporary human culture. Immanuel Wallerstein raised the issue of the form of globalization, where the world may become a single "system" that is now more or less actual in different ways. However, apart from the issue of imperialism, the formal problems of globalization can be directly solved.   An important and decisive feature of globalization is increasing connectivity (interconnectivity). This article argues that the increasing global awareness operates in a complex way, which can be said to go hand in hand with the increasing connectivity.   In addition, the au
