Political Globalization / Blog assignment 3 / MinSeung Sung

Summary

Globalization has been shaped by the global trend of democratization. The concept of state is very important in globalization. Democracy was also required as the world. The three dilemmas that intensify in this complex system have led to the three dilemmas. This happens between autonomy and agitation. The first globalization brings the concept from nationalism. Political membership and organized government are the beginning of democratization. Nationalism is an important symbol of globalization. At the same time, critics of democratization expect it to bring about global destruction. However, as long as democracy exists, its pros and cons are inevitable. The second dilemma is the normative nature. This was spread by INGO's irregular international organization. It has been a long-standing international trend. International logic applies to individuals in the world. It has a theme about human rights. It has spread based on an understanding of humanity and democratization. A new group of people continues to emerge. This comes from the realization that we are living in a global dangerous society. This was introduced by scholar Beck in 1999. The third network is a local-oriented, multidisciplinary network. This is especially found in developed countries' civil society. This creates new opportunities constantly. For example, there is a new form of control. The downside is that it can also create new dangers. The development of civil society had the advantage of building a democracy based on faith. New political spaces have also created terrorists. There is a new danger. The occurrence of this new network is what makes it possible to create criminal organizations. Political globalization has served as a new source of tension in the politics that is now formed. In addition, political globalization has caused political conflicts regarding the form of governance, mobility.

Interesting

What was most interesting was the relationship between politics and globalization. In today's era, most countries have the form of democracy. According to the trend, democracy seems to be the most perfect form of the nation. I also think so. However, the above article explains the dilemma in the relationship between democracy and globalization. Democracy means that the state's affairs are determined in the form of majority rule. Indirect or direct, citizens are chosen to represent them. And the representative plays a key role in making decisions in a democratic country. Democracy has the advantage of deciding by the majority opinion. However, it is also a disadvantage in that minority opinions are ignored. When this is connected to politics, globalization, elitist rule and authoritarianism can be the biggest drawbacks.

Discussion

Globalization and neo-liberalism have brought about low growth and unemployment.
Instead, it expands the gap between countries and individuals.
Wouldn't it be the main culprit responsible for destroying cultural identity, diversity, human rights and the environment?
Globalization can be just a figment of the cultural diversity of underdeveloped countries, or the illusion that they created to sell goods to underdeveloped countries.
