were imagined communities” it is imagined
because even though people do not know each
other or do not meet all the members, they share
the same common history, culture, language and

The Concept of
Globalization
WHAT IS GLOBALIZATION?
Globalization is a process of
interaction and integration among
the people, companies, and
governments of different nations, a
process driven by international
trade and investment and aided by
information technology.
WHAT IS GLOBALIZATION?
Globalization is the gradual process

of political, economic and cultural
integration brought about by
increased trade, exchange of
ideas, and political relations
among the states of the world.
Forms of GLOBALIZATION
1. Economic Globalization
Refers to the interconnectedness of
economies through trade and the
exchange of resources.
2. Cultural Globalization
-It is the process whereby information,
commodities and images that have
been produced in one part of the world
enter into a global flow that tends to
‘flatten out’ cultural differences
between nations, regions and
individuals.
3. Political Globalization
-Refers to the amount of political co-
operation that exists between different
countries. This ties in with the belief that
“umbrella” global organizations are
better placed than individual states to
prevent conflict.
Advantages of GLOBALIZATION
1. Global politics opens up opportunities
for states to render aid to each
other, provides avenues for
dialogue and cooperation, and
ensures that states learn from
each other.
2. Economic globalization enables
emerging markets and industries to
thrive due to trade liberalization,
and provides states opportunities
for economic development.
3. Cultural globalization has given

rise to a global community that
accepts and celebrates
diversity.
Disadvantages of GLOBALIZATION
1. Critics of globalization consider it as

a detriment to the welfare of some
states, as global interests often run
counter to national interest.
2. Economic globalization has rendered

some developing nations helpless in
the face of competitions in the
global market.
3. The supranational character of

globalization, likewise, is seen
as a limitation to national
sovereignty.
4. The refusal of powerful states to

abide by international law
standards also limits the
effectiveness of global cooperation
