    Uploaded by

    Mary Franz Moreno
    Globalization refers to the increasing flows of people, culture, ideas and information across borders. The document discusses competing conceptions of globalization, distinguishing it from the more limited concept of transnationalism. It also covers metaphors used to describe globalization, such as liquidity vs. solidity, and heavy vs. light structures. Finally, the origins and history of globalization are addressed, noting it is a long-term cyclical process that can be traced back to events like missionary work and trade, but accelerated greatly in the late 20th century.

    DISTINGUISHING THE

    COMPETING
    CONCEPTIONS OF
    GLOBALIZATION
    Social Economics I | Module 1.1
    Instructor: Diamae Grace J. Atacador
    Learning Outline
    I. Globalization
    Objective/s III. Globalization v.
    Transnationalism
    • Distinguish the competing
    conceptions of globalization. III. Conceptualizing
    Globalization
    IV. Origins and History
    of Globalization
    Globalization
    Refers to transplanetary
    process(es) involving
    increasing liquidity and
    growing multi-directional
    flows of people, objects,
    places and information, as
    well as the structures they
    encounter and create.

    Globalization vs. Transnationalism
    • Transnationalism is a process that interconnect individuals and social
    groups across specific geo-political borders.
    • Geo-political are boundaries are made visible by things such as fences, flags,
    posts in the ground, and gates. In geopolitics, boundaries are dividing lines
    between territorial entities such as places or states. Ex. Thailand and
    Cambodia in Southeast Asia, South Carolina and North Carolina in United
    States.
    • Transnationalism is a more delimited process than globalization. It is
    only associated with two, or more, nation-states.
    • Example. Mexican immigrants in the US sending remittances to family members
    in Mexico or foreign trading of goods between Philippines and Vietnam.

    20XX presentation title 5


    • Globalization includes such connections, but is not restricted to them
    and encompasses a far wider range of transplanetary processes.
    • Ex. Direct relationships between people in many places in the world networking
    via Internet, FB, Twitter, Whatsapp, etc.

    20XX presentation title 6


    • Globalization viewed as positive phenomenon as
    it pertains to progress, development and
    integration.
    • “the process of world shrinkage, of distances
    getting shorter, things moving closer”
    (Thomas Larsson)
    • Globalization viewed as occurring through
    regression, colonialism, and destabilization.
    20XX presentation title 7
    Conceptualizing
    Globalization
    Definitions of
    Globalization
    1.Broad and inclusive
    • It includes a variety of issues that deal
    with overcoming traditional
    boundaries.
    e.g.
    “...globalization means the onset of the
    borderless world...” (Ohmae, 1992)

    WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT
    WE CANNOT DO OR LIMITED TO
    DO BEFORE THAT WE CAN DO
    TODAY?

    20XX presentation title 10


    Definitions of
    Globalization
    2. Narrow and exclusive
    • It is limited only cross-border
    activities.
    • Similar with transnationalism, thing
    and people move within closed area.

    e.g. Foreign trades in Europe or OFWs

    Metaphors Of
    Globalization
    1. SOLIDITY VS LIQUIDITY
    a. Solidity
    • refers to people, things, and places "harden" overtime and therefore have limited
    mobility, natural or man-made.
    • E.g. There are barriers that blocks the mobility or transportations for the movement
    of goods or things. This is a classical form.
    • a. Natural (landforms, bodies of waters)- no easy transportation or mobility
    before, they have to invent in their own way just to prosper their trading system.
    • b. Man-made (Great wall of China or Berlin Wall, nine-dash-line)- China’s
    claimed to South China Sea creates limited access to the Filipino fishers in the
    20XX
    sea. presentation title 12
    Metaphors Of
    Globalization
    b. Liquidity
    • refers to the increasing ease of movement of people, things, information,
    and places in the global age.
    • E.g. Social Media, Tabloids, Internet, Online Shopping, Transportation,
    Medical Technology
    2. Flows
    • It refers to the movement of people, things, information, and places
    due, in part, to the increasing porosity of global barriers.
    • E.g. different cuisine from other country patronized by Filipino, Chinese
    communities in the Philippines, legal or illegal virtual information.
    20XX presentation title 13
    3. “Heavy” vs “Light”
    • Pre-industrial and industrial societies were "heavy,“ characterized by
    that which is difficult to move. Advances in transportation and
    technology made goods, people, and places lighter. We are currently in
    an era defined not only by lightness but also increasingly by
    weightlessness.
    4. “Heavy” Structures that Expedite
    “Flows”
    • Other heavy structures ("routes" or "paths") expedite flows.
    • Ex. Illegal product (counterfeited drugs)- followed oft-road parts en
    route from their point of manufacture (China) through loosely
    controlled free-trade zones (Dubai), thru several intermediate
    countries, to destinations (US) frequently obtained thru Internet
    (Bogdanich).
    • There are newly built roads and routes to speed up the flows without
    blocking from international borders.

    20XX presentation title 15


    5. “Heavy” Structures as
    Barriers to “Flows”
    • Some structures (e.g. borders) continue to be
    important in impeding the movement of
    that which is liquid, light, or weightless.
    • Ex. South Korea and North Korea
    • Trade agreements, regulatory agencies,
    borders, customs barriers, standards, laws-
    block and hinder the ‘flows’

    20XX presentation title 16


    6. Subtler Structural Barriers
    • It is which are in many ways more powerful than the material structures
    such as national borders. These structures serve to differentiate and
    subordinate on the basis of social class, race, ethnicity, gender, age,
    sexual orientation, and religion of the world.
    • Ex. Gay people (crossed-dresser, crossed-orientation) are not allowed in
    Middle East countries, 45-50 age can no longer find job US, only men are
    allowed to work.
    • Brain drain structure- highly trained skilled from the South move to
    North, to expedite movement in North, however those unskilled workers
    from the South were also encouraged but in a poorly paid menial positions-
    farming, household workers.

    ORIGIN AND
    HISTORY OF
    GLOBALIZATION

    20XX presentation title 18


    1. Hardwired
    • “Globalization stems, among other
    things, from basic human urge to seek
    a better and more fulfilling life” –
    trade (commerce), missionary works Click icon to add picture
    (religion), adventures and conquest.

    2. Cycles
    • Globalization is a long-term
    cyclical process.
    3. Epochs
    • The so called “waves of globalization”:
    1. Christianity
    2. European conquest
    3. Intra-European war led to globalization
    4. Heyday of European imperialism Click icon to add picture
    5. Post-World War II
    6. Post-Cold War II

    4. Events
    • One can point to much more specific
    events that can be seen as the origin of
    globalization and give us a good sense
    of its history.
    5. Broader, More Recent Changes
    • It focuses on broader, more recent
    changes in the 20th century. It
    argues that the global processes in Click icon to add picture
    motion prior to WW II were more
    limited in geographic scope and
    less intensive than the global
    processes of the late 20th and early
    21st centuries.
    SUMMARY
    • Globalization means the process of circulating of people, things, places
    through its cultures and information from one place to many places. It is
    foreseen to be the ideal scenario if we look back ages ago. In this era where
    technological enhancement advances the way of living, where transportation,
    communication, health-care, disasters, education and the daily living can be
    easily handle is much more of a weightlessness that we can experience.
    Furthermore, negative impact has its own way to intervene on this matter- the
    idea that we are now living in a modern life is an overstatement that people
    are now taking advantage in overcoming traditions, cultures, own language,
    and nationality that tends to forget the history of their life.
