Online blog writing assignment 3 / What is the relation between politics and globalization? / Hyeonsung Do

 Summary

This document discusses political globalization and emphasizes three dimensions of political globalization. 


First, political globalization can be understood as a tension between global geopolitics, global normative culture, and multicenter networks. 
Second, the global spread of democracy does not weaken the nationalist world order, but gives it global acceptability. 
Finally, global civil society forms in spaces outside the state, forming a new type of network that goes beyond economic connections with the state.



Interesting point


The most interesting part of this document is about multi-center networks. These networks are forms of non-territorial politics that occur in various places outside the country, forming new relationships between individuals, countries and society. These networks relate to the global political order and have different characteristics from the countries underlying global dominance. It represents a new form of mobility and communication, and it appears in various social and political movements, which can shape global politics and open up the possibility of new political action and change.



Questions


1. How is the global spread of democracy affecting political culture worldwide?


2. Why is global normative culture causing tension in relations with countries?


3. How are multicenter networks related to the global political order, and how are they different from conventional, state-centric approaches?


4. How do the different forms of mobility and communication contribute to the formation of multi-center networks and global politics?


5. How does a multi-center network open up the possibility of global political action and change?
