    Globalization
    Learning Outcomes

    globalization for the course
     Differentiate the competing conceptions of
    globalization; and
     Narrate a personal experience of
    globalization
    Why this course?

     Avoid parochialism

     World teaches us more about our society

     Filipinos increasingly interacting with the

     See contemporary world through a broad


    lens

     Allows us to examine various globalizing


    processes

     Forces us to ask questions re. global


    citizenship
    Academic definition

     As opposed to popular/activist definition:

     Not “neoliberal globalization”/ “market


    globalism”
    The need for an interdisciplinary
    approach

    – We need to transcend our disciplinary


    boundaries…
    For a political scientist

     Political scientist: “Challenge to the nation-


    state.”
    – Strength of regional blocks (EU)

     “Global village”
     Communications technology as “shrinking”
    our world
     “Cultural imperialism”
    They are ALL correct.
    How do we bring these various
    perspectives together?

     Working definition of globalization:

    Steger: “Globalization refers to the


    expansion and intensification of social
    relations and consciousness across world-
    time and world-space”

     2. We associate ourselves with global
    trends (fan of K-Pop)
     3. Hopefully, we feel some sense of

     THIS PROCESS IS UNEVEN
    Helpful question: What is being
    globalized?

    flows are different aspects of globalization

    forms of globalization – Flusty (2004)
