Abstract

The concept of globalization continues to be a hot issue in the arena of political discourse. Globalism, or interdependence, has been, and continues to be a critical force in world politics that affects nearly every aspect of global economic, political, diplomatic and military behaviour. It continues to influence major debates in the fields of international relations, foreign policy, international trade, development, finance, immigration, governance, democratization and security. Globalization occurs because of one or more of the following factors; the death of geography (territorial borders are becoming increasingly insignificant), the death of distance (new technologies are making the distances between countries and culture significantly smaller), sensitivity (states are becoming increasingly sensitive to different crises that happen elsewhere in the world), vulnerability (states are becoming much more vulnerable to these crises), and finally the death of independence (states are losing the capacity to maintain independent control over their own autonomy).
