Is globalization is a challenge or a confirmation to realism? The state has already been seen as the main actor on the world stage by realism for a long time. However, the process towards the globalization calls it into question. Even though it’s just one part of the entire realist theory, it seems that realism has to struggle to live in the area of globalization. This essay will first illustrate the definition and main contents of globalization and realism, then it will focus on the challenges realists face under the shadow of globalization, as state-centric approaches are undermined by the new emerging actors, states lose the monopoly of authority and power resources, and it suffers the ‘relative deterritorialization of activities’ (Mcgrew, 1992).

Which of the following has played the most important role in the rise of globalization? * Transportation * Communications * Transnational Corporations (TNCs) ------------------------------------------------- In the recent years, the world has been experiencing a rise in globalization.

Marxists argue against Curran’s view and state that it must be the media imperialism that is threatening cultural identities; with new media and globalisation, media companies have immense power and so can and are threatening on a larger scale. There
From one perspective, China’s ascent is the latest example of the tendency for rising powers to alter the global balance of power in potentially dangerous ways, especially as their growing influence makes them more ambitious. From another perspective, the key to China's future conduct is whether its behaviour will be modified by its integration into world markets and by the (inevitable?) spread of democratic principles. From yet another
The effects of globalisation and the increasingly multicultural nature of society have led to social, political and economic changes creating power struggles and new uncertainties in our world today. When governmental policies are unable to respond to these changes efficiently they are forced to de-regulate in order to get a grip on these new situations. However, de-regulation policies might threaten a society’s stability and nation-states will need to respond by taking new regulatory measures in order to preserve and maintain social cohesion. In order to foster cultural diversity in a multicultural society governments try to manage their public service interests through regulation hereby shaping a common national identity. This essay will therefore attempt to outline regulation and the tensions that occur between de-regulation and re-regulation in order consider how the state’s regulatory policies foster cultural diversity.

Brittany Wilson May 1, 2012 IB HL History of the Americas The Effects of Neoliberalism On Society The term ‘neoliberalism’ has bred many meanings and has propagated several political, social and economic connotations; its definition and implications will vary from person to person, country to country. Neoliberalism in its subtlest definition is an economic arrangement that is intended to ease the boundaries and restrictions that limit global trade. The simplistic deconstruction of the word itself leaves a vacuum for subjectivity. The root ‘neo’ translates to new and liberalism’s generic essence is openness, meaning that neoliberalism is new openness. This can mean one of two things; it can either mean that neoliberalism is a revived version of a dormant openness or it can mean a new model of openness altogether.
Thus advertisements help to orient individuals in society by providing them with images with which they can self-identify.” 1 The pervasiveness of branding brings up the question of how does it shape global culture and identity? Through the exchange between brands and consumers, global corporations create their identities and influence cultural identities around the world, while at the same time being defined by them. Whether this is a positive or negative or both depends on an individual’s perspective of what globalization is doing to marketing. Globalization & Corporate Identity Globalization is used to describe the phenomenon of the world becoming increasingly interconnected in the past several decades.

Moreover, globalization kicked off after the end of Second World War since its during that time that leaders felt the urge to break down the borders with the aim of enabling trade between nations. Thomas L. Friedman has examined the impact of the "flattening" of the world, and argues that globalized trade, outsourcing, supply-chaining, and political forces have changed the world permanently, for both better and worse. He also argues that the pace of globalization is quickening and will continue to have a growing impact on business organization and practice. With globalization the world wild becomes a small village or city especially with Internet. Globalization carries numerous positive effects and in same time has negative effects.
