SORU:

What are the " Main Drivers of Globalization "?


CEVAP:

The contemporary process of globalization has three main drivers: technology, economy, and politics.
• Technological change is central to the process. Modern communication techno-logies enable the interconnectedness seen almost universally; they lead to the
emergence of a worldwide economy.
• Similarly, the economic logic of capitalism, which has an “insatiable require- ment for new markets and profits,” is as crucial as are the technological innova-tions, because it drives the globalization of economic activity (McGrew, 2011: 22).
• Politics (manifesting itself as ideas, interests, power, or negotiations) provide the third important logic behind the process of globalization. As the sceptics point out, this is true not only for the governments of capitalist states such as the United States or the United Kingdom but it is the case also for those interna-tional organizations, dominated by these governments, which provide the main thrust and direction to globalization. Sceptics criticize institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank on these grounds.
