Globalization

The globalization process is seen as driven by the growth of international capitalism and involving the transformation of the culture and social structures of non-capitalist and pre-industrial societies.

Globalization is marked by the expansion of the size and power of multinational corporations. A world-wide process of the internationalization of communication, trade, human resource and economic organization.

The globalization process in the economic sphere can be seen in international trade agreements and the enormous increase in the volume of international trade and growing economic interdependency between countries.

Most people today refer to the time in which we live as the age of globalization. I prefer the term interdependence, because it makes it clear that the nature of the world today and our connections are far more than economic, and because it makes it clear that the consequences of those relationships can be both negative and positive. Interdependence simply means we cannot escape each other. We have to recognize that we cannot have a global economic system without building a global social system. - William J. Clinton

Corporate Codes of Conduct and the Success of Globalization
Ethics & International Affairs, Volume 16.1 (Spring 2002) - cceia.org/resources/journal/16_1/articles/280.html
S. Prakash Sethi
Abstract: This article focuses on the expanding role of multinational corporations (MNCs) in developing countries, within the context of globalization and free trade. It demonstrates that the current state of globalization does not conform to the conventional notion of free trade. Therefore, given the prevailing circumstances, MNCs have an unfair advantage in expropriating a greater share of gains from efficiency and productivity from international trade than would be possible if labor had greater mobility or more equitable bargaining power.

Universities’ websites in Asia are more heavily connected to European universities than linked to each other.

Introduction: epidemiologic transition and globalization: This paper begins with the premise that global public health is not at its core only a medical issue but is, rather, embedded in social, cultural, political, and economic structures and processes. Moreover, changes in those structures and processes involve the evolution of patterns of health and wellness, which can be described in terms of epidemiologic transition and overlap.

Haesung Lee: Sociology in Korea: between globalism and seeking for the identity - http://www.ifispan.waw.pl/studiasocjologiczne/en/archive/162.htm
The paper deals with the process of reception and development of sociology in South Korea after World War II. In the earlier period the science was not only a new, but also a culturally foreign phenomenon. Sociology took root in the intellectual life of South Korea society as a result of social, economic and political modernization of the state in its specific conditions. In particular it should be noted that (1) sociology became an important area of reflection on Korea's social reality; (2) reception of sociology was very rapid it continues to be swift; (3) process of overcoming xenophobia took place, accompanied by attempts at adjusting Euro-American sociologist concepts to the reality of social life in Korea.
