Political Globalization

SUMMARY

Globalzation requires the existence of global players such as strong states to diffuse, implement a global geopolitics, and polycentric networks. Political globalization is not leading in the direction of a new global order of governance or world society but to transnational political action which challenges neoliberal politics. The logic of globalization bears out the central logic of political modernity in expressing the inner conflict within the political frame of autonomy versus fragmentation.

World has changed to a global economy by national economies. It makes power of the nation-state to face the challenge. Many states try hard to control firms that have become rivals to states. So global companies share sovereignty with states.
Globalization changes the state around global capitalism which is making it impossible for nation-states to be independent. The nation-state "does not 'wither away' but becomes transformed". Because they become a functional component of transnational apparatus(for examples EU...) and a major agent of global capitalism.

Communication is central to politics. Until now this has been mostly conceived of as a national public sphere. While debates continue on the question of the global public sphere as a transnational space, what is more important is the emergence of a global public discourse, which is less a spatialli defined entity than a manifestation of discourse. The global is not outside the social world but is inside it in numerous ways.

The 'civil societalization' of politics both reinforces the idea that politics is increasingly informed by a normative global curture and points to the transformation of the nation-state as a site of political struggle. Global civil society holds the promise of resolving contradictory tendencies which have become central to the experience of globality.

The dream about 'borderless world' has long been associated with thinking about globalization. It would be too simple to reduce the spatial dynamics of political globalization to a conflict between the flows and mobilities associated with global processes and the spaces and borders of existing political realms. The focus on new spaces and new forms of connectivity has led to a awareness that space is constitutive of social and political relations. not simply a 'given'which comes with the territory.


NEW, INTERESTING, OR UNUSUAL ITEMS I LEARNED

What I learned from this article is that the world has changed from territorial devision to global network. And at the center of this change are economy. As world has changed to a global economy by national economies. It breaks national bounderies and make politics to change.

I research about 'global capitalism'. Global capitalism is the fourth and current epoch of capitalism. What distinguishes it from earlier epochs of mercantile capitalism, classical capitalism, and national-corporate capitalism is that the system, which was previously administered by and within nations, now transcends nations, and thus is transnational, or global, in scope. In its global form, all aspects of the system, including production, accumulation, class relations, and governance, have been disembedded from the nation and reorganized in a globally integrated way that increases the freedom and flexibility with which corporations and financial institutions operate.


QUESTION, CONCERN, OR DISCUSSION ANGLE

I have question after finish reading article and write down the blog. Today world has changed to global economy. If economic system change again the politics of the nations will change too. So what I wonder is, what will be the next epoch of economy? And how will it affect globalization?
