'Political Globalization'

1) Summarize in your own words of materials you read

Political globalization refers to the 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, which have created different kinds of politics arising from, on the one hand, the development of transnational networks and flows, and, on the other, processes of de- and reterritorialization. One of the most pervasive forms of political globalization is the worldwide spread of democracy based on the parliamentary nation state. The democratic nation-state in many parts of the world has given rise to very different kinds of political cultures. A second dimension of political globalization refers to the rise of a global normative culture. The main topic of this is human rights and environmental. This global normative culture provides normative reference points for states and an orientation for political actors. Whilst the global political order represented by the United Nations is largely based on nationstates, it is possible to speak of a different kind of global political order that can be associated with the notion of global civil society. A global civil society has come into existence around international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs), various grass-roots organizations and social movements of all kinds ranging from globally organized anti-capitalist protests and global civil society movements.
Ploitical globalization has caused many transformations. First, the idea about nation state and nationality, citizenship. Second, Public share and communication. Third, spaces and borders. 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
economies or resistance to imperial rule, supplementary contestations have arisen around a changed set of concerns: the right to difference, individual versus community, liberal democracy versus cosmopolitanism. Indeed, 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.
