1) Summarize

The definition of Political Globalization refers to the intensification and expansion of political interrelations across borders. It involves the increasing interconnectedness of political institutions, processes, and actors on a global scale. Key Components include State Sovereignty and Global Governance, Transnational Actors, Communication and Information Technologies, Migration and Diaspora Politics.


2) Interesting

They also raise 4 interesting points, global issues，Criticisms and Challenges, Cultural Dimensions, Impact on Identity.

Political globalization involves the recognition and addressing of global issues that require collective action, such as climate change, human rights, terrorism, and economic interdependence.

Critics argue that political globalization may lead to the erosion of national sovereignty, potentially resulting in a democratic deficit and increased power imbalances.

The uneven distribution of power and resources in the global political system is a challenge, with certain countries and actors wielding disproportionate influence. 

 Political globalization is often intertwined with cultural globalization, where political ideas, norms, and practices are disseminated globally, contributing to a shared global political culture.
The interconnectedness of political processes on a global scale can impact individual and collective identities, as people increasingly perceive themselves as part of a global community.

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...

(W3-1)Media Trends and Globalization Classroom QnA - Choi Min Joon

 Q1. How could a fusion culture look in 100 years? A1.  Globalization is accelerating further with advances in technology. The boundaries between countries will be blurred, and the development of technology will reduce language barriers between countries, leading to more cultural exchanges. In 100 years, I think the convergence culture will become a new type of culture, not a global culture led by major countries around the world. Simultaneous new cultures will emerge in many forms, and those cultures will mix with each other and create new cultures. The difference between this convergence culture and global culture is that there is no major country leading the culture, but the earth evolves into a true global culture in which culture is born and exchanged immediately like a country.

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 the...
