Economic Process
Economic "globalization" is a historical process, the result of
human innovation and technological progress. It refers to
the increasing integration of economies around the world,
particularly through the movement of goods, services, and
capital across borders.

Political Process
A political system is defined as a set of institutions and agencies
concerned with formulating and implementing the collective goals of
society or of organs within it
The shift in the domestic balance of power between capital and labor
that globalization promotes by rewarding mobile factors thus
translates into a shift in domestic politics.

Functions
1. The system function determines the inputs through socialization,
recruitment, and communication. These three processes are concerned with
the maintenance of an entire system.
2. The process function is where collective decisions are made and
implemented through interest articulation, interest aggregation, policy making,
and policy implementation and adjudication.
3. The output function treats the output through the processes of policy
extraction, regulation, and distribution.

Cultural Process
Cultural Globalization is a phenomenon by which the experience of
everyday life, interpenetration of cultures which, as a consequence,
means nations adopt principles, beliefs, and costumes of other
nations, losing their unique culture to a unique, globalized supra-
