geographical specified area”

economic policy cooperation and coordination among
countries” ; - “the growth of societal integration within
a region and to the often undirected processes of social
and economic interaction” ; - borderless AND
happens around the world

flows ; - happens only in a specific geographical
region. ; - the process of intergovernmental
collaborations between two or more states

related to integration. As defined in module 1,
globalization is the expansion and intensification of
social relations and consciousness across word-time
and world space.
