Hello, global explorers! π Today, we're going on a journey around the world. Not physically (sorry to disappoint), but academically. We'll be unravelling the mystery of globalization, its forms, and how we measure it using something called "indices". Sounds exciting, right? Let's get to it!
Globalization is like a worldwide spider web of connections. It links economies, cultures, technologies, and governance systems in a dance of mutual interdependence. Think of it like the Internet, but for everything!
Three main types of globalization to remember
Global systems are like the highways that link different parts of the world. TNCs play a big role here. They impact the economies, people, and environments where they operate, providing opportunities but sometimes increasing inequalities too.
To manage these global systems, we have 'global governance'. Bodies like the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank work to regulate these systems, which also impacts people and environments.
Now, to measure globalization, we use globalization indices. Some key ones include the KOF Index of Globalization, Ernst and Young’s (EY) Globalization Index, and the New Globalization Index. These act as our "globalization scorecards".
