According to Dr. Nayef Al-Rodhan (2006), who
has done with a comprehensive studies about the definitions of globalization,
he claimed that “globalization is referring to a process that encompasses the
causes, course, and consequences of transactional and trancultural integration
of human and non-human activities”.
Through his research, he found that
globalization is involving the economic integration, the transfer of policies
across borders and countries, the transmission of knowledge, cultural
stability; the reproduction, relations, and discourses of power. In easy words,
globalization can be seen as a global process, a concept, a revolution and an
establishment of the global market free from sociopolitical control (Al-Rodhan, 2006) .
Globalization is also can be referred as the
growing interdependence of countries resulting from the increasing integration
of trade, finance, people, and ideas in one global market. International trade
and cross-border investment flows are the main elements of this integration (Soubbotina
& Sheram, 2000) .
Moreover, globalization includes all of the
elements with some connotations referring to progress, development and
stability, integration and cooperation, and others referring to regression,
colonialism, and destabilization. By its nature, globalization spans a
multitude of disciplines, communities, and cultures. This, of course, allows
for a variety of viewpoints, be they economic, social, or politics.
