What is Globalisation?Princess Diana’s Death:
An English Princess, with an Egyptian boyfriend, crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car, with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; is treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.
This is information is sent to you by an Australian using American software technology and you’re reading this on a Taiwanese projector, from a Korean computer, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Pakistan lorry-drivers, unloaded by Indian workers, and trucked to you by an older Greek man…
That, everyone, is Globalisation.
Factors driving Globalisation
Increasing global movement
Goods (Trade), Resources (oil), People (migration, labor, tourism), money (shares, loans), Information (Internet)
Increasing power and wealth of businesses
Dominated by TNC’s
For example?
Decreasing distance
Internet, Jet transport
Increasing influence of global Media
Rapid flow of information between nations. For example?
Changing Cultures
Knowledge and culture shared and spread of American Culture. For Example?
Increasing global agreements/Treaties
World Trade organisations (WTO), Environmental agreements (Kyoto Protocol)
Increasing humanitarian role
Governments (U.N., Aus Aid), Non government organisations (Oxfam, Amnesty international)
Increased wealth of populace
People a generally earning or have access to, more money
• Interdependency – The idea that people around the world are increasingly dependant on one another. What happens in one place has an effect on people elsewhere.
• Interconnection – the idea that we are connected to people and places that were previously distant and unknown.
• Shrinking of space – the idea that distances are less important. Far-off places are now within easy reach.
• Speeding up of time – the idea that the world is operating at an even faster pace. News, money, ideas, information and people are moving around with increasing speed.
• Technology – the Idea that technological developments, such as jet aircraft, telephones, the internet, satellite television, etc, make globalisation possible.
• Capital – the idea that it is the flow of money and investments around the world that drives the globalisation process.
