Task 2. What are the 3 dimensions of globalization? Explain each.
1. Economic Dimension: The economic dimension of globalization refers to the increasing
interconnectedness and interdependence of the global economy. It involves the free
flow of goods, services, capital, and technology across national borders, as well as the
growth of multinational corporations and global supply chains. The economic dimension
of globalization has brought about significant changes in the world economy, including
increased competition, specialization, and the creation of new markets and
opportunities.
2. Political Dimension: The political dimension of globalization refers to the increasing
interconnectedness and interdependence of global politics and governance. It involves
the emergence of global institutions and frameworks for cooperation and decision-
making, such as the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, and regional
organizations like the European Union. The political dimension of globalization has
brought about significant changes in the way in which political power is distributed and
exercised, as well as the ways in which global issues are addressed and resolved.
3. Cultural Dimension: The cultural dimension of globalization refers to the increasing
interconnectedness and interdependence of global cultures and ways of life. It involves
the spread of ideas, values, beliefs, and cultural practices across national borders, as
well as the emergence of global cultural forms and hybrid cultures. The cultural
dimension of globalization has brought about significant changes in the way in which
people understand and experience the world, as well as the ways in which they express
their identities and interact with others.
Together, these three dimensions of globalization shape the ways in which the world operates
and influence various aspects of human life, from the economy to politics to culture.
