The history of Globalization

 

We cant not talk about globalisation without talking about its history .

 

* The globalization existed in deep history as he says an economist Andre Gunder Frank who is the owner dependency theory, this economist says that the globalization has been in existence since the rise of trade links between Sumer and Indus Valley civilization in the third millennium before Christ.

 

* There is another form of globalization of economy and culture in history, known as Archaic globalization, existed during  the Hellenistic age, when the urban centres focused commercialization around the axis of Greek culture, and stretched from India to Spain, with such cities, as Alexandra, Athens, and the others cities as the centres of the international trade .      

This commercialization in the urban centres in the glob, and this international trade created Cosmopolitan culture.  

 

* Also there is another form of globalization is the trade links between the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire, and the Han Dynasty of China.

These powers increased an articulation of commercial links between them, and they established and developed the silk road which started in western China reached the boundaries of the Parthian Empire and continued towards Rome.

Episode 3

 

* In this case we cant also forget the Islamic Golden age, it was also an Important early stage of globalization, when Muslim traders and explores established sustained economy across the world establishing the globalization of the corps, trade, knowledge, philosophy, and sciences in this period, obviously it would be a great necessity of learning Arabic as international language in the world.

 

* we find also Thomas Friedman  considers that globalization has the roots in history, hence he divides the history of globalization into three periods ;

 

* The first globalization is between 1492-1800, he states that globalization involved the globalization of countries.

in this case, we can say it is a political globalization, the territorial expansion through the world by the invasions of the classical  empires to all five continents;

- Portuguese Empire

- Spanish Empire

- British Empire

- Dutch Empire

- Arabic and Muslim empire

 

* the second globalization is between 1800 - 2000 he says that

Globalization involved the globalization of companies.

For me in the other words I can call it the economical globalization by moving the capitals and the labours through the globe, and expansion of multinational companies established by the classical empire in antiquity;

- Like British East India company, founded in 16 00.  

- And like Dutch East India company, founded in 16 02

This globalization is founded by international trade, capital, and labour mobility coupled with decreased transport costs led to a smaller world.

 

*The third globalization is from -2000 until present - he declares that globalization involves the globalization of individuals. In other side is the cultural globalization, it mains expansion de different cultures from many countries from Europe, from North America, from Latino  America, from Asia, and from Africa through the world. This cultural globalization is established by mobility of individuals and culture by Improvement the tools  of mass-media; newspapers, network of TV,  internet and diffusion of knowledges an informations, and tourism, by decreasing transport costs led to any part of the world.

The Causes of globalization

Episode 5

 

Economic growth and trade cycle are global in nature, because all countries are interconnected increasingly  between them,  that means the recession in one country can affect other countries and destabilise global economy, and global trade, so this led to an economic downturn

 

Expansion of financial system, and capitals in the word. This expansion manages and controls all the Banks in the glob. And also affects then, for example when US Banks suffered downturn, and loses, US Banks affected all banks in other countries.

 

Improvement mobility of capitals in the world, by reduction barriers, this mobility makes capitals moving easier through different economies, and different countries. This mobility gives to the firms the ability to receive finance, and increases the globalization interconnectedness of international financial markets.

 

Mobility of labour, leads lot of people to have willing to move to different countries in order of searching for work. This mobility of labour increases the transfer the remittances from developed countries to developing countries.

Episode 6

 

The second cause; Improvement transport

as cause of globalization

 

We know that international trade, expansion economy, and moving labour and people, need the travels; travel by rails, travel by air, and travel bus. This travels need also the Improvement transports;

 

The technology improves the transport better than the past. The technology creates the plane, the ship, the bus, and the container. This transport makes fast and easier moving goods, people through the world.

 

Redaction of the cost transport leads to the expansion of international trade, and growth of the tourism.

 

Also we find containerisation by the steel transport container reduced the cost of inter-model transport, making trade fast, cheaper, and more guaranteed.

The types of Globalization

Academic literature usually subdivides globalization into five major fields:

 

economic globalization

 

political globalization

 

technological globalization

 

social and cultural globalization

 

1- Economic globalization

 

Globalization begins by economy, only person can not satisfy all human needs only by himself alone, and can not meet his needs alone. He must cooperate with others in meeting his needs. The same problem for the one country, it can not meet the needs of their citizens depending on their economy alone. But it must cooperate with others country, to make the trade of all sort of goods and crops. And looks for the sources of food, raw materials, technology and so on.. As a result the economy of countries is interconnected through the exchange of resources, products and money. For this reason we find all countries in the glob are obliged to enter in globalization by force and needs without its will. The prove of this economic globalization, when an economy crashes it affects other economies in the world.

Episode 11

 

political globalization

 

The global trade and the global economy, its need political cooperation between different countries, this political cooperation prevents conflicts and prevents crash economy. In this case the countries create global organizations in any fields as for example the United Nations, and the world Trade Organization. Those global organizations are working on the development of laws and regulations governing the world, and maintaining order in the world. Its diffuse also the patterns of politic as democratic, and human rights. This is which called political globalization. 

 

3- Technological globalization

           

The technology has swept all countries in the world, even the developing countries; everyone owns technology from simple man to rich man. We are now in technological globalization.

 

4-social and cultural globalization

 

This means sharing ideas, knowledge, sciences, arts, between nations. This cultural globalization leads nations to one culture, and erodes differences between cultures. This cultural globalization is established by the technology of mass-media.

The universality of sciences, knowledge, arts, cultures, in the world, makes the same pattern of the comportment, the same pattern of action, the same pattern of reaction, the same pattern of cuisine, the same pattern of distraction, the same pattern of celebration, the same pattern of the problems when all people. Now the world has cosmological culture, all persons at present became a citizen of the world

Episode 12

 

Example of globalization: cultural globalization

 

Cultural globalization is sharing between the people in the globe sciences, and all sort of knowledge history philosophy, anthropology, and so on, and arts in different fields. There are no boundaries between cultures due to the expansion of technology of information and mass-media.

There is another form of cultural globalization, globalization of comportments and behaviors through the world. And the extension and intensification social relations between countries and between people by the technology of information and mass-media.

This process of extension and identification leads to consumption of different cultures in the world by the technology of information and mass-media.

The world becomes as a small village, and people become as the citizens of the world.
