Study Notes
Definition of Globalization
- Globalization describes the increasing interdependence of global economies, cultures, and populations via cross-border trade, technology, and flow of investment and information.

- Technological advancements and modern transportation have facilitated global communication, enhancing trade and cultural exchange.
- Robertson (1992) defines globalization as both a compression of the world and an intensified awareness of global issues.
- Harvey (1989) highlights globalization's capacity to reduce time and distance barriers through advanced technology and connectivity.
- Globalization entails interaction and integration among diverse nations, supported by international trade, investment, and information technology.
