Ideological aspects (underpinnings)
• Politically charged narratives (view Chomsky below) – right versus left
• Assumptions on social reality and structure – remember schools of economic geography
• Implies positions on rationality of markets versus compassion – again refer to schools

Definition – first iteration• What it is not:
– valiant conquest of the world by universal Western Culture in the face of undying parochialism reactionary forces of tribalism, localism, and nationalism (Rudyard Kiplings “White Man’s Burden)
• Various approaches to define it as:– Process– Condition– System– Force– Age– All of these and more

Stager’s Two part definition
• Parts – Divide into an end state (pattern/effect) and a driving action (process/cause)– Globalization (process)– Globality (pattern or end state)
![Page 8: Globalization: Chap 1 Steger, Manfred B. 2003, 2009. Globalization: A Very Short Introduction, Oxford University Press: New York.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033017/56649e045503460f94af094f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Globality – an end point or Goal
Social Condition – tight interconnections and flows across all 4 dimensions that make current borders irrelevant
– Condition -- state of being or situation– 4 Dimensions all addressed (see above)– flows and potential for flows– borders no longer barriers– Note that this is a goal, not current condition
» Goal – something always striving for – but never fully reach
» Example of a goal – be the best athlete in your sport – always striving after, never fully accomplished, never can rest

Globality cont…
– Not necessarily stable end point -- Can be supplanted by future goals
– Indeterminate character -- Does not address how it operates» Might be based on laissez-faire market system» Or communal norms

Globalization – A dynamic action or process – Transformation
Set of social processes that change nationality into globality– Transformation – dynamic ongoing process

Globalization cont…– Shifting perception of time and space• Historical progression or change• Reconfiguration of social space and geography

Globalization cont…• Raises many interesting questions– How does it occur?– What is the driving force – one cause or many?– Uniform or uneven process?– Continuation of past or radical break?– Does it result in more or less inequality?
• Occurs under Global Imagery– Viewing things from a new Global Perspective– Growing consciousness of belonging to a global community
