Definition of Globalization
How do you define Globalization? or what do you understand by the world Globalization?
I understand it as the world getting smaller where constraints of space and time is reduced to a minimum. Which means I am able to communicate with someone in Asia as if he/she is living next door to me. Thus globalization is helped mostly by advancement of technology. That is what Globalization is in my opinion. What do you think?

Yes, that's pretty much how I use the term as well. Between communication, transportation, and trade, the world is a much "smaller" place than decades ago. With it, some good has come, but also some bad as well. No free rides I guess.
If further interested, you might consider reading Thomas Friedman's "The World Is Flat", which deals with this in some detail.

Metis--
Good recommendation. I liked that book. Another is Nonzero by Robert Wright. --Steve--

Thanks, but it's another book to add to my "must read" list! Will this ever end??
