Study Notes
Globalization vs Globalism
- Globalization refers to the state of being connected, whereas globalism implies a lack of connection.
- Historically, societies have always been connected, but what sets the present apart is the type and speed of connection.
Key differences
- Globalism is described as "thin" (Nye, 2002), implying a lack of intensity in connections between countries.
- Globalization, on the other hand, occurs when connections become more dynamic and faster, making them "thick".
- An example of this is global trade, which has evolved from being less intense to becoming more intense and interconnected.
Historical Context
- In the past, connections between societies were formed through conquest.
- Today, connections are formed through modern technologies such as the internet.
