Blog Reading Assignment 3 "What is The Relation Between Politics and Globalization?" - Darlene Audrey

The reading noted that political globalization has introduced new tensions in politics. Key conflicts now revolve around issues such as the right to difference, individual versus community, and liberal democracy versus cosmopolitanism. The expanded set of concerns includes governance, identity, mobilities, and community, shaping a complex landscape of political conflict in the era of globalization. So it also explains what and how the connection between politics and globalization. And these are the main points that highlight the relationship between globalization and politics that I could find.


The first one is the Shifts in Governance Structures, and it proposes a change from a society centered on the state to one centered on polycentric networks of governance. This suggests that in the face of globalization, conventional, state-centric approaches to politics are changing. The impact of globalization on nation-states is discussed next. It has affected how these states define political membership and institutionalized governance. The nation-state is associated with the universal ideal for democracy; nonetheless, critiques of democracy give rise to conflicts. The third is the global normative culture, which has been shaped by international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and has contributed to the globalization of the nation-state. Political systems are impacted by this culture's emphasis on individual personhood and human rights. 


The evolution of polycentric networks, in particular global civil society, is highlighted in the fourth one, Polycentric Networks and Civil Society. These networks provide hazards as well as new potential for autonomy and control. One such concern is the "dark side" of civil society, which consists of unaccountable people. Onto the next one is about Tensions and Dilemmas, and it lists the problems that result from the intricate connections that exist between globalization and politics. These conundrums include conflicts between the critiques of democracy and the universal yearning for it, the influence of global normative culture on personhood, and the advantages and disadvantages of polycentric networks. And lastly, Changing Political Landscape is the final one. The political environment has changed as a result of political globalization. Important political disputes have changed from customary. Key political conflicts have shifted from traditional issues like class divisions to concerns about governance, identity, mobilities, and the balance between individual and community rights.


    In conclusion, I can say that there is a complicated link between globalization and politics that is characterized by changes in spatial dynamics, a reassessment of the nation-state paradigm, the creation of new political spaces, and a greater focus on mobility and interconnectivity. This relationship illustrates the transition from a rigid, nationalistic view of politics to one that is more flexible and aware of the world at large. The passage describes the relationship between politics and globalization as one marked by transformative shifts in governance structures, effects on nation-states, the role of polycentric networks, the influence of global normative culture, and the emergence of new tensions and dilemmas reshaping the political landscape of today.

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
