Blog Assignment 3 : Political Globalization - Gaeun Um

1)

This document provides a comprehensive exploration of political globalization, which is a concept that challenges the traditional notion of nation-state sovereignty. The authors argue that globalization is a multifaceted and relational dynamic, shaped by global geopolitics, global normative culture, and polycentric networks. They explore the impact of global forces on the decline of the nation-state and the emergence of transnational networks and flows. The document also discusses the transformation of the public sphere and political communication, the state's transnationalization, and the rise of subnational politics as significant outcomes of political globalization.


The authors highlight the complexity and multiplicity of political globalization, framing it as a tension between global forces and the nation-state. They argue that globalization is not a new kind of reality but a relational dynamic that is best understood as a continuum with the local at one end and the global at the other. The document also explores the impact of political globalization on the universal aspiration for democracy, arguing that the nation-state is an important vehicle for political autonomy and democracy is an important badge of membership in a world community of nation-states.


Furthermore, the document addresses the transformation of nationality and citizenship, civil society, and space and borders as significant outcomes of political globalization. It argues that the notion of the decline of the nation-state in a post-statist world of governance without government should be replaced by the idea of the continued transformation of the nation-state. The authors contend that states continue to be powerful actors but exist in a more globally connected world that they do not fully control.


Overall, the document offers a nuanced perspective on the complex and diverse nature of political globalization, highlighting the multifaceted processes and interactions that shape global politics. It provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on the impact of globalization on the nation-state and the future of global governance.

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. Q2.  Can cultures be compared? Can we argue that some cultures are better than others? A2.  I think it is possible to compare between cultures. There are certainly commonalities and...

Online blog writing assignment 1 / What is globalization? / ZHANG RUIQING

Summary   In the article, the author mentions that "globalization" is an inherently controversial concept. It has both universality and specificity. It is universal because it almost inevitably covers many disciplinary perspectives and worldviews from different parts of the world. It is specific because we are concerned with the division of the different features of so-called globalization.  The article points out that globalization mainly includes two trends:   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.   Third, globalization is constituted by four major facets of human life – namely, the cultural, the s...
