Globalization

DESK CHAIR 111008

Globalizaton variously signifies the hegemony of a worldwide capitalist system on the economic plane; the superseding of the primacy of the nation-state by transnational arrangements, both formal and informal, on the political one; the emergence of new, networked information and communication instrumentalities on the technological one; and the advent of an increasingly homogeneous, consumer oriented lifestyle and mentality on the cultural one.- Joan Ockman.
