Political Globalization

1) Summarize in your own words of materials you read

 

Today's globalization is a new phenomenon appeared in society since the mid-20th century, Globalization of politics, economy, culture, society so on. Try to distinguish the boundaries of state is useless these days.

After 20th century world became so multidimensional, accelerated and interconnected organization of space and time across national borders. Political globalization has been much discussed in the globalization literature where the emphasis has been on the decline of the nation-state under the impact of global forces.

The first dimension of political globalization is the global geopolitics. It means territorially based kind of globalization and largely confined to politic form. After collapse of the Soviet Union, the word ‘End of history’ occurred. It does not mean end of ideology. The globalization of democratic politics called ‘new world order’. In fact, it contains a pressure from supremacy nations like United States.

The second dimension of political globalization is the rise of a global normative culture. It emphasizes human right, which lies at the center of a global cosmopolitanism, not focusing on Western.

The third dimension of political globalization is polycentric networks. It forms of non-territorial politics which pursue multiplicity. The polycentric networks associated with emerging forms of global governance.

Political globalization has resulted in a new set of tensions around which politics is now structured. Whereas key political conflicts were previously centred on class divisions, state versus civil society, cleavages between traditional and industrial. Political globalization has worked to create the possibility for a proliferation of sites of political conflict around an expanded set of concerns: governance, identity, mobilities and community prominent amongst them.

Is it possible to make a politcal union in asia like EU?

EU is not designed only for political union, they have more deep down purpose. First and most important of their purpose was checks and balances with America.

Then turn back into 2015. What is the main purpose if some of countries want to make a new UNION? I can swear that not like Soviet-union. It should highly related with economic situation. China want to make a train-link with so many asian countries and middle-east countries. China want to have deal and ally with all other countries Not north america continent and EU. I think only china can make new union on earth and only china can re-establish the order of earth.
