What is the relationship between economics and globalization?

 The relationship between economics and globalization is complex and interdependent. Globalization is a comprehensive phenomenon in many aspects such as economy, politics, society and culture, among which economy is an important driving force of globalization. Economic globalization refers to the world's economic activities transcending national boundaries and achieving the optimal allocation of resources and market integration on a global scale through foreign trade, capital flows, technology transfer, service provision, etc.


First, economic globalization accelerates the development of the world economy. With the continuous increase of international trade and cross-border investment, the economic ties between countries have become increasingly close, forming a situation of interdependence and mutual promotion. Globalization enables countries to participate more extensively in the international division of labor and cooperation, share global resources and markets, and improve their own economic development levels. At the same time, globalization has also promoted the spread of technology and the sharing of knowledge, and promoted technological innovation and industrial upgrading.


Economic globalization has also brought economic inequality and instability around the world. Some countries have benefited more from the process of globalization, while others have been at a disadvantage. Globalization has further widened the gap between rich and poor countries, exacerbating global economic inequality. In addition, the rapid development of globalization has also brought economic risks and fluctuations. For example, the global financial crisis in 2008 had a serious impact on the economies of many countries.


Economic globalization is also placing increasing pressure on the environment and resources. With the advancement of globalization, the demand for resources continues to increase, while the supply of resources becomes increasingly tight. Environmental pressure is also increasing, and issues such as climate change and environmental pollution have become global challenges.


Economic globalization also has an impact on cultural and social values. With the expansion of multinational companies and the increase in cultural exchanges, the cultures of different countries and regions are gradually integrating, but there are also cultural conflicts and collisions of values.


In summary, there is a close connection between economics and globalization. Globalization is an important driving force of economic globalization, and economic globalization has had a profound impact on global economic development, inequality, environment and social values. In the face of the challenges and opportunities of globalization, countries need to strengthen cooperation and promote coordinated development of the global economy, politics, society and culture.

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...

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...
