The term can also refer to the transnational circulation of ideas, languages, and popular cultureAdvantages Of Globalization•With globalization, there is a global market for companies to trade their products and a wider range of options for people, to choose from among the products of different nations.•Competition keeps prices relatively low, and as a result, inflation is less likely to occur.•The focus is diverted and segregated among all the nations. No country remains the single power head; instead the world tends to be a multi-polar one.•Globalization leads to lowered trade barriers which are beneficial for Lesser Developed Nations.•Through globalization, countries can increase their comparative advantage, and produce goods and services more efficiently by specializing.•Competition keeps prices relatively low, and as a result, inflation is less likely to occur.Disadvantages Of Globalization•Globalization is causing Europeans to lose their jobs as work is being transferred to the Asian countries.•Globalization is the cause for the invasion of infectious diseases.•Poor countries are exploited by the richer countries where the work force is taken advantage of and low wages are implemented.•Large gap between wealth exist, where the gap between the richer countries and the poorer countries widens. Richer countries can easily bully poorer countries.•Multinational corporations begin to destroy the environment to gain profit.Unit2Stumbling blocks in intercultural communicationAssumption of similaritiesLanguage differencesNonverbal misinterpretationPreconceptions and stereotypesTendency to evaluateHigh anxietyConclusionTwo definitionsEmpathy (移情) is the ability to put oneself into the mental shoes of another person tounderstand her emotions and feelings. (Alvin Goldman )Empathy is what happens to us when we leave our own bodies...and find ourselves either momentarily or for a longer period of time in the mind of the other. We observe reality through her eyes, feel her emotions, share in her pain."

With each move they are making new friends. “Friend”may be someone who has known for a few weeks in a new place a childhood playmate a business associate or a trusted confidant.American friendship carries a light burn of commitment and is tentative and subject to change.French friendship: Friends are generally of the same sex (male) and friendship is a one-to-one relationship that demands a keen awareness of the other person’s intellect, temperament, and particular interests. Friendship in France is separated from the family life.German friendship: Friendship is more a matter of feeling. Within the family the closest relationship is between brothers and sisters. Outside the family men and women find in their closest friends of the same sex. Friends are brought into the family. Based on mutuality of feeling disagreement between friends is regarded as a tragedy.British friendship: Friendship is based on shared activities. Friendship is formed outside the family circle. Misjudgment will lead to a break in friendship.How high-context and low-context affect intercultural communication•Lack of enough data, people from low-context cultures often feel uncomfortable with the vagueness and inexactness and will ask very blunt(生硬的), inappropriate questions, which will make high-context culture members become impatient and irritated.•People in high-context cultures perceive low-context people less credible.•Conflicts are differently perceived and responded to.high-context: discreetly and subtlyLow-context: directly spell it outUnit4Summary: language and culture•Language is a reflection of culture, and culture is a reflection of language.•Culture influences language by way of symbols and rules for using those symbols, as well as our perceptions of the universe (the meaning associated with the symbols).•Language, on the other hand, would seem to have a major impact on the way an individual perceives and conceptualizes the world.Basis of Sapir-Whorf hypothesisLanguage is a guide to social realityLanguage as reflection of valuesLanguage thought and cultureWe are not born with a language full of fixed ways of expressing our experience, which may restrain or influence our thoughts. Language becomes our shaper of ideas rather than simply our tool for reporting ideas.Language directs its speakers in the perceptions of reality; it gives them ways to analyze and to categorize experience. Such perceptions are unconscious and outside the control of the speaker.In a sense, people speaking different languages tend to perceive the world in different ways.Unit5•Verbal: connected with words and their use•Verbal communication: communication done both orally and in written language•It is easier to use words to represent one’s experiences within the same culture because people share many similar experiences.•It is more troublesome in verbal communication across cultures because people’s experiences, beliefs, values, customs, traditions and the like are different.Conversation patternsHigh-involvement Vs high considerateness (Deborah Tannen)Directness Vs indirectness (Levine & Adelman)Ping-pong game style Vs bowling game style (Levine & AdelmanVerbal communication stylesDirect Vs Indirect verbal style1.

What Is Globalization

What Is Globalization?Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world.Globalization is not new, though. For thousands of years, people—and, later, corporations—have been buying from and selling to each other in lands at great distances, such as through the famed Silk Road across Central Asia that connected China and Europe during the Middle Ages. Likewise, for centuries, people and corporations have invested in enterprises in other countries. In fact, many of the features of the current wave of globalization are similar to those prevailing before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.But policy and technological developments of the past few decades have spurred increases in cross-border trade, investment, and migration so large that many observers believe the world has entered a qualitatively new phase in its economic development. Since 1950, for example, the volume of world trade has increased by 20 times, and from just 1997 to 1999 flows of foreign investment nearly doubled, from $468 billion to $827 billion. Distinguishing this current wave of globalization from earlier ones, author Thomas Friedman has said that today globalization is “farther, faster, cheaper, and deeper.”This current wave of globalization has been driven by policies that have opened economies domestically and internationally. In the years since the Second World War, and especially during the past two decades, many governments have adopted free-market economic systems, vastly increasing their own productive potential and creating myriad new opportunities for international trade and investment. Governments also have negotiated dramatic reductions in barriers to commerce and have established international agreements to promote trade in goods, services, and investment. Taking advantage of new opportunities in foreign markets, corporations have built foreign factories and established production and marketing arrangements with foreign partners. A defining feature of globalization, therefore, is an international industrial and financial business structure.Technology has been the other principal driver of globalization. Advances in information technology, in particular, have dramatically transformed economic life. Information technologies have given all sorts ofindividual economic actors—consumers, investors, businesses—valuable new tools for identifying and pursuing economic opportunities, including faster and more informed analyses of economic trends around the world, easy transfers of assets, and collaboration with far-flung partners.Globalization is deeply controversial, however. Proponents of globalization argue that it allows poor countries and their citizens to develop economically and raise their standards of living, while opponents of globalization claim that the creation of an unfettered international free market has benefited multinational corporations in the Western world at the expense of local enterprises, local cultures, and common people. Resistance to globalization has therefore taken shape both at a popular and at a governmental level as people and governments try to manage the flow of capital, labor, goods, and ideas that constitute the current wave of globalization.To find the right balance between benefits and costs associated with globalization, citizens of all nations need to understand how globalization works and the policy choices facing them and their societies. tries to provide an accurate analysis of the issues and controversies regarding globalization, especially to high-school and college students, without the slogans or ideological biases generally found in discussions of the topics. We welcome you to our website.Globalization: What Is It?New Era Replaces Cold War and Space Ageby Keith Porterfor People around the globe are more connected to each other than ever before. Information and money flow more quickly than ever. Goods and services produced in one part of the world are increasingly available in all parts of the world. International travel is more frequent. International communication is commonplace. This phenomenon has been titled "globalization.""The Era of Globalization" is fast becoming the preferred term for describing the current times. Just as the Depression, the Cold War Era, the Space Age, and the Roaring 20's are used to describe particular periods of history; globalization describes the political, economic, and cultural atmosphere of today.While some people think of globalization as primarily a synonym for global business and trade, it is much more than that. The same forces that allowbusinesses to operate as if national borders did not exist also allow social activists, labor organizers, journalists, academics, and many others to work on a global stage.While coming up with a definition is difficult, an even greater challenge is deciding whether globalization is a good thing or a bad thing. Click here to find out more about that debate.GlobalizationGlobalization is a difficult term to define because it has come to mean so many things. In general, globalizationglobalizationglobalization refers to the trend toward countries joining together economically, through education, society and politics, and viewing themselves not only through their national identity but also as part of the world as a whole. GlobalizationGlobalizationGlobalization is said to bring people of all nations closer together, especially through a common medium like the economy or the Internet.GlobalizationFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaGlobalization (or globalisation) describes an ongoing process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a globe-spanning network of exchange. The term is sometimes used to refer specifically to economic globalization: the integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, and the spread of technology.[1] However, globalization is usually recognized as being driven by a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural, political, and biological factors.[2] The term can also refer to the transnational dissemination of ideas, languages, or popular culture.DefinitionsAn early description of globalization was penned by the American entrepreneur-turned-minister Charles Taze Russell who coined the term 'corporate giants' in 1897.[3] However, it was not until the 1960s that the term began to be widely used by economists and other social scientists. It had achieved widespread use in the mainstream press by the later half of the 1980s. Since its inception, the concept of globalization has inspired numerous competing definitions and interpretations.[4]The United Nations ESCWA has written that globalization "is a widely-used term that can be defined in a number of different ways. When used in aneconomic context, it refers to the reduction and removal of barriers between national borders in order to facilitate the flow of goods, capital, services and labour... although considerable barriers remain to the flow of labour.... Globalization is not a new phenomenon. It began in the late nineteenth century, but its spread slowed during the period from the start of the First World War until the third quarter of the twentieth century. This slowdown can be attributed to the inwardlooking policies pursued by a number of countries in order to protect their respective industries.. however, the pace of globalization picked up rapidly during the fourth quarter of the twentieth century...."[5]Saskia Sassen writes that "a good part of globalization consists of an enormous variety of micro-processes that begin to denationalize what had been constructed as national — whether policies, capital, political subjectivities, urban spaces, temporal frames, or any other of a variety of dynamics and domains."[6]Tom G. Palmer of the Cato Institute defines globalization as "the diminution or elimination of state-enforced restrictions on exchanges across borders and the increasingly integrated and complex global system of production and exchange that has emerged as a result."[7]Thomas L. Friedman has examined the impact of the "flattening" of the world, and argues that globalized trade, outsourcing, supply-chaining, and political forces have changed the world permanently, for both better and worse. He also argues that the pace of globalization is quickening and will continue to have a growing impact on business organization and practice.[8]Noam Chomsky argues that the word globalization is also used, in a doctrinal sense, to describe the neoliberal form of economic globalization.[11]Herman E. Daly argues that sometimes the terms internationalization and globalization are used interchangeably but there is a significant formal difference. The term "internationalization" (or internationalisation) refers to the importance of international trade, relations, treaties etc. owing to the (hypothetical) immobility of labor and capital between or among nations.[citation needed]Adrián Ravier of the Hayek Foundation summarize the globalization as such the process that arises spontaneously in the market and acts by developing a progressive international division of labour, eliminating restrictions on individual liberties, reducing transportation and communication costs,and increasingly integrating the individuals that compose the “great society.” [12]Finally, Takis Fotopoulos argues that globalisation is the result of systemic trends manifesting the market economy’s grow-or-die dynamic, following the rapid expansion of transnational corporations. Because of the fact that these trends have not been offset effectively bycounter-tendencies that could have emanated from trade-union action and other forms of political activity, the outcome has been globalisation. This is a multi-faceted and irreversible phenomenon within the system of the market economy and it is expressed as: economic globalisation, namely, the opening and deregulation of commodity, capital and labour markets which led to the present form of neoliberal globalisation; political globalisation, i.e., the emergence of a transnational elite and the phasing out of the all powerful-nation state of the statist period; cultural globalisation, i.e., the worldwide homogenisation of culture; ideological globalisation; technological globalisation; social globalisation.[13]HistoryThe historical origins of globalization are the subject of on-going debate. Though some scholars situate the origins of globalization in the modern era, others regard it as a phenomenon with a long history.Perhaps the most extreme proponent of a deep historical origin for globalization was Andre Gunder Frank, an economist associated with dependency theory. Frank argued that a form of globalization has been in existence since the rise of trade links between Sumer and the Indus Valley Civilization in the third millenium B.C.[14] Critics of this idea point out that it rests upon an overly-broad definition of globalization.Others have perceived an early form of globalization in the trade links between the Roman Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Han Dynasty. The increasing articulation of commercial links between these powers inspired the development of the Silk Road, which started in western China, reached the boundaries of the Parthian empire, and continued onwards towards Rome.[citation needed]The Islamic Golden Age was also an important early stage of globalization, when Muslim traders and explorers established a sustained economy across the Old World resulting in a globalization of crops, trade, knowledge and technology. Globally significant crops such as sugar and cotton became widely cultivated across the Muslim world in this period, while thenecessity of learning Arabic and completing the Hajj created a cosmopolitan culture.[15]The advent of the Mongol Empire, though destabalizing to the commercial centers of the Middle East and China, greatly facilitated travel along the Silk Road. This permitted travelers and missionaries such as Marco Polo to journey successfully (and profitably) from one end of Eurasia to the other. The so-called Pax Mongolica of the twelfth century had several other notable globalizing effects. It witnessed the creation of the first international postal service, as well as the rapid transmission of epidemic diseases such as bubonic plague across the newly-unified regions of Central Asia.[16] These pre-modern phases of global or hemispheric exchange are sometimes known as archaic globalization.Up to the time of the voyages of discovery, however, even the largest systems of international exchange were limited to the Old World. The sixteenth century represented a qualitative change in the patterns of globalization because it was the first period in which the New World began to engage in substantial cultural, material and biologic exchange with Africa and Eurasia. This phase is sometimes known as proto-globalization. It was characterized by the rise of maritime European empires, particularly the Portuguese Empire, the Spanish Empire, and later the British Empire and Dutch Empire. It can be said to have begun shortly before the turn of the 16th century, when the two Kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula - the Kingdom of Portugal and the Kingdom of Castile, began to send exploratory voyages to the Americas and around the Horn of Africa. These new sea routes permitted sustained contact and trade between all of the world's inhabited regions for the first time.[citation needed]Global integration continued through the expansion of European trade in the 16th and 17th centuries, when the Portuguese and Spanish Empires colonized the Americas, followed eventually by France and England. Globalization has had a tremendous impact on cultures, particularly indigenous cultures, around the world. In the 15th century, Portugal's Company of Guinea was one of the first chartered commercial companies established by Europeans in other continent during the Age of Discovery, whose task was to deal with the spices and to fix the prices of the goods.[citation needed]In the 17th century, globalization became a business phenomenon when the British East India Company (founded in 1600), which is often described as the first multinational corporation, was established, as well as the Dutch East India Company (founded in 1602) and the Portuguese East IndiaCompany (founded in 1628). Because of the large investment and financing needs and the high risks involved with international trade, the British East India Company became the first company in the world to share risk and enable joint ownership of companies through the issuance of shares of stock: an important driver for globalization.[citation needed]The 19th century witnessed the advent of globalization in something approaching its modern form. Industrialization permitted the cheap production of household items using economies of scale, while rapid population growth created sustained demand for commodities and manufactures. Globalization in this period was decisively shaped by nineteenth-century imperialism. After the Opium Wars and the completion of the British conquest of India, the vast populations of these regions became ready consumers of European exports. Meanwhile, the conquest of new parts of the globe, notably sub-Saharan Africa, by the European powers yielded valuable natural resources such as rubber, diamonds and coal and helped fuel trade and investment between the European imperial powers, their colonies, and the United States.[citation needed]It was in this period that areas of sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific islands were incorporated into the world system. The first phase of "modern globalization" began to break down at the beginning of the 20th century with the first World War. Said John Maynard Keynes[17],“ The inhabitant of London could order by telephone, sipping his morning tea, the various products of the whole earth, and reasonably expect their early delivery upon his doorstep. Militarism and imperialism of racial and cultural rivalries were little more than the amusements of his daily newspaper. What an extraordinary episode in the economic progress of man was that age which came to an end in August 1914. ”The novelist VM Yeates criticised the financial forces of globalisation as a factor in creating World War I.[18]The final death knell for this phase of globalization came during the gold standard crisis and Great Depression in the late 1920s and early1930s.[citation needed]Globalization in the middle decades of the twentieth century was largely driven by the global expansion of multinational corporations based in the United States and the worldwide export of American culture through the new media of film, television and recorded music.In late 2000s, much of the industrialized world entered into a deep recession.[19] Some analysts say the world is going through a period of deglobalization after years of increasing economic integration.[20][21] Up to 45% of global wealth had been destroyed by the global financial crisis in little less than a year and a half.[22]Modern globalizationGlobalization, since World War II, is largely the result of planning by politicians to break down borders hampering trade to increase prosperity and interdependence thereby decreasing the chance of future war[citation needed]. Their work led to the Bretton Woods conference, an agreement by the world's leading politicians to lay down the framework for international commerce and finance, and the founding of several international institutions intended to oversee the processes of globalization.These institutions include the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank), and the International Monetary Fund. Globalization has been facilitated by advances in technology which have reduced the costs of trade, and trade negotiation rounds, originally under the auspices of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which led to a series of agreements to remove restrictions on free trade.Since World War II, barriers to international trade have been considerably lowered through international agreements —GATT. Particular initiatives carried out as a result of GATT and the World Trade Organization (WTO), for which GATT is the foundation, have included:Promotion of free trade:elimination of tariffs; creation of free trade zones with small or no tariffsReduced transportation costs, especially resulting from development of containerization for ocean shipping.Reduction or elimination of capital controlsReduction, elimination, or harmonization of subsidies for local businessesCreation of subsidies for global corporationsHarmonization of intellectual property laws across the majority of states, with more restrictionsSupranational recognition of intellectual property restrictions (e.g. patents granted by China would be recognized in the United States)Cultural globalization, driven by communication technology and the worldwide marketing of Western cultural industries, was understood at first as a process of homogenization, as the global domination of American culture at the expense of traditional diversity. However, a contrasting trend soon became evident in the emergence of movements protesting against globalization and giving new momentum to the defense of local uniqueness, individuality, and identity, but largely without success.[23]The Uruguay Round (1986 to 1994)[24] led to a treaty to create the WTO to mediate trade disputes and set up a uniform platform of trading. Other bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, including sections of Europe's Maastricht Treaty and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) have also been signed in pursuit of the goal of reducing tariffs and barriers to trade.World exports rose from 8.5% in 1970, to 16.1% of total gross world product in 2001.[25] (broken lnk)[citation needed]Measuring globalizationLooking specifically at economic globalization, demonstrates that it can be measured in different ways. These center around the four main economic flows that characterize globalization:Goods and services, e.g., exports plus imports as a proportion of national income or per capita of populationLabor/people, e.g., net migration rates; inward or outward migration flows, weighted by populationCapital, e.g., inward or outward direct investment as a proportion of national income or per head of populationTechnology, e.g., international research & development flows; proportion of populations (and rates of change thereof) using particular inventions (especially 'factor-neutral' technological advances such as the telephone, motorcar, broadband)As globalization is not only an economic phenomenon, a multivariate approach to measuring globalization is the recent index calculated by the Swiss think tank KOF. The index measures the three main dimensions of globalization: economic, social, and political. In addition to three indices measuring these dimensions, an overall index of globalization and sub-indices referring to actual economic flows, economic restrictions, data on personal contact, data on information flows, and data on cultural proximity is calculated. Data is available on a yearly basis for 122 countries, as detailed in Dreher, Gaston and Martens (2008).[26] According to the index, the world's most globalized country is Belgium, followed by Austria, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The least globalized countries according to the KOF-index are Haiti, Myanmar, the Central African Republic and Burundi.[27]A.T. Kearney and Foreign Policy Magazine jointly publish another Globalization Index. According to the 2006 index, Singapore, Ireland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada and Denmark are the most globalized, while Indonesia, India and Iran are the least globalized among countries listed.Effects of globalizationGlobalization has various aspects which affect the world in several different ways such as:Industrial- emergence of worldwide production markets and broader access to a range of foreign products for consumers and companies. Particularly movement of material and goods between and within national boundaries.[citation needed]Financial - emergence of worldwide financial markets and better access to external financing for borrowers. As these worldwide structures grew more quickly than any transnational regulatory regime, the instability of the global financial infrastructure dramatically increased, as evidenced by the financial crises of late 2008.[citation needed]Economic - realization of a global common market, based on the freedom of exchange of goods and capital. The interconnectedness of these markets, however meant that an economic collapse in any one given country could not be contained.[citation needed]Political - some use "globalization" to mean the creation of a world government which regulates the relationships among governments andguarantees the rights arising from social and economic globalization.[31] Politically, the United States has enjoyed a position of power among the world powers, in part because of its strong and wealthy economy. With the influence of globalization and with the help of The United States’ own economy, the People's Republic of China has experienced some tremendous growth within the past decade. If China continues to grow at the rate projected by the trends, then it is very likely that in the next twenty years, there will be a major reallocation of power among the world leaders. China will have enough wealth, industry, and technology to rival the United States for the position of leading world power.[32]Informational - increase in information flows between geographically remote locations. Arguably this is a technological change with the advent of fibre optic communications, satellites, and increased availability of telephone and Internet.Language - the most popular language is English.[33]About 35% of the world's mail, telexes, and cables are in English.Approximately 40% of the world's radio programs are in English.About 50% of all Internet traffic uses English.[34]Competition - Survival in the new global business market calls for improved productivity and increased competition. Due to the market becoming worldwide, companies in various industries have to upgrade their products and use technology skillfully in order to face increased competition.[35]Ecological- the advent of global environmental challenges that might be solved with international cooperation, such as climate change,cross-boundary water and air pollution, over-fishing of the ocean, and the spread of invasive species. Since many factories are built in developing countries with less environmental regulation, globalism and free trade may increase pollution. On the other hand, economic development historically required a "dirty" industrial stage, and it is argued that developing countries should not, via regulation, be prohibited from increasing their standard of living.Cultural - growth of cross-cultural contacts; advent of new categories of consciousness and identities which embodies cultural diffusion, the desire to increase one's standard of living and enjoy foreign products and ideas, adopt new technology and practices, and participate in a "worldculture". Some bemoan the resulting consumerism and loss of languages. Also see Transformation of culture.Spreading of multiculturalism, and better individual access to cultural diversity (e.g. through the export of Hollywood and Bollywood movies). Some consider such "imported" culture a danger, since it may supplant the local culture, causing reduction in diversity or even assimilation. Others consider multiculturalism to promote peace and understanding between peoples.Greater international travel and tourism. WHO estimates that up to 500,000 people are on planes at any one time.[36]Greater immigration, including illegal immigrationSpread of local consumer products (e.g., food) to other countries (often adapted to their culture).Worldwide fads and pop culture such as Pokémon, Sudoku, Numa Numa, Origami, Idol series, YouTube, Orkut, Facebook, and MySpace. Accessible to those who have Internet or Television, leaving out a substantial segment of the Earth's population.Worldwide sporting events such as FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games.Incorporation of multinational corporations in to new media. As the sponsors of the All-Blacks rugby team, Adidas had created a parallel website with a downloadable interactive rugby game for its fans to play and compete.[37]Social - development of the system of non-governmental organisations as main agents of global public policy, including humanitarian aid and developmental efforts.[38]TechnicalDevelopment of a Global Information System, global telecommunications infrastructure and greater transborder data flow, using such technologies as the Internet, communication satellites, submarine fiber optic cable, and wireless telephonesIncrease in the number of standards applied globally; e.g., copyright laws, patents and world trade agreements.Legal/Ethical。

目前學術界對全球化的解釋,主要有四種不同的學派(洪朝輝,2000):
一、新馬克斯學派或新左派(Neo-Marxists or Neo-Left):主要代表人物為 S.
Amin、A. Callinicos 和 S. Gill。
主張經濟全球化等同於帝國主義化和西化,國家已淪為國際資本的代理人,最終會導致全球性不公平和不公正的兩極分化。
二、新自由派(Neo-Liberals):主要代表人物為 K. Ohmae 和 W. Grieder。
主張全球經濟和市場將朝一體化發展,且絕大多數國家將在全球化過程中受益。
3
三、懷疑派(the skeptical thesis):代表人物為 P. Hirst 和 G. Thompson。
主
張第一:全球化是一種「錯誤的誇張」,認為19 世紀後葉,已經出現了全球經濟、市場和金融的高度一體化,並不輸於1990 年代時的狀況4;
第二、經濟區域化或經濟國際化可能比經濟全球化更為適合描述過去數十年的狀況,而區域化不可能成為全球化的助力;第三、國家的政策主權不大會受到經濟國際化的影響,遑論國家的消亡;第四、經濟國際化更加造成許多第三世界國家經濟發展的邊緣化,以及全球財富分配的不均。
四、轉型學派(the transformationalist thesis):代表人物為A. Giddens, J. A.
Scholte 和 M. Castells。
主張全球化是推動社會、政治和經濟轉型的主要動力,並正在重新塑造現代社會和世界秩序。
它對世界的影響很大,但很難預測它的發展方向和全球新世界的風貌。
目前大部分的文獻,將全球化的起點認定為近代西歐。
在分析全球化進程的驅動因素,經濟因素顯得非常重要,並容易分析(楊雪冬,2003: 6)。
3例如一國政府可透過解除管制、民營化、降低稅賦和減少支出等措施,讓企業達成全球最佳實務,以推動經濟成長和增進社會福祉,參見鄒勳元(2001)。
4 19 世紀末,美國的出口金額佔GNP 的8% ,並不比一百年後少;1990 年代,在新興市場融通的外國資金佔10% ,顯示資本的流動性不及百餘年前1880 年的水準;1900 年,有14% 的美國人在國外出生,1990 年代,只有7% 。
所以至少就經濟史的觀點,1990 年代的全球化程度未必比19 世紀末期來得高(今日經濟1999)。
