The term "Globalization" was first mentioned by the American scientist T. Levit in 1983 in an article published in the "Harvard Business Review" magazine. This is what the author called the process of unification of various regional product markets produced by large multinational corporations.
Theories about globalization:
-
the attention of economic theorists is mainly focused on the analysis of such issues as financial globalization, the formation of global transnational corporations, the regionalization of the economy, and the acceleration of world trade.
-
And in historical works, this process is interpreted as one of the stages of the plural development of capitalism.
-
Political scientists are deeply researching the acceleration of the process of transnationalization, the strengthening of interdependence between the countries of the world, the formation of a new global order with the participation of the UN and other international organizations.
-
Specialists in the field of sociology are looking for evidence confirming the convergence and homogenization of the lifestyles of the peoples of different countries and regions under the influence of the universalization of culture.
-
Philosophers, relying on Kant's idea of a unified eternal world and universal government, are trying to justify the harmony of values of different nations and peoples. It is known that neither a single definition of the globalization process nor a single concept reflecting its essence has been created. However, the most common aspects of this process, in our opinion, are as follows:
-
Firstly, the main technology of the second half of the XNUMXth century was related to the production of nuclear weapons. The technologies of the global era are determined by means of communication such as television, jet aircraft, space satellites, computers, mobile phones, and the Internet.
-
Secondly, humanity's entry into the era of globalization means the decline of the communist idea, ideology and politics, and therefore the victory of liberal-democratic values. Although these values are established in many countries of the world, it is no secret that their form and essence sometimes differ from the true democratic idea and principles.
