Globalization from the general viewpoint

The globalization is a term used to describe a multi-causative process which has as a result the fact that the events which take place in some part of the globe have wider and wider repercussion on the societies and problems from other parts of the globe. There isn’t any definition of the globalization in a universal accepted form and, probably, not even final. The reason consists of the fact that the globalization sub-includes a multitude of complex processes with a variable dynamic, touching diverse domains of one society (Lupan, Perlipcean, 2009). Globalization means different things to different people. The most general sense of the term is “applying to the whole earth”. However, different specialists use the term with other meanings focused on their particular interests:

• 
  globalization for politicians and political scientists
  
• 
  globalization for economists
  
• 
  globalization for industrialists
  
• 
  globalization for marketing managers
  
• 
  globalization for sociologists (Mead, Andrews, 2010).
  

Daniels, Radebaugh and Sullivan (2007) use the globalization that means “doping relationship and broadening interdependence among people from different parts of the word, and especially among different countries“. Throughout history recorded as people have established contacts over a wider geographic area, they have expanded the variety of resources, products, services, and markets available to them. They have altered the way they want and expect to live, and they have become more deeply affected (positively and negatively) by conditions outside their immediate domains.
In politics and international relations the term „globalization“ refers generally to increasing dependence between national and international bodies (Mead, Andrews, 2010). Barriers between nations are reduced in importance and hence the autonomy of nations is undermined. National governments and their agencies lose responsibility and control over local decision-making, and individuals are even further removed from the locus of power.
Blowfield and Murray (2011) state that globalization is associated, on the one hand, with a limited set of global governance mechanisms and weakened national governments, and on the other hand, with unprecedented private sector wealth, power, and impact.
However, there is a lot of confusion about what is meant by globalization. Some political economists argue that we should think more broadly than just economics: that we should see globalization as a social condition that also includes politics, culture, ethics, ecology, and all of the other facets that affect human life.
