Trends in Economic and Social Globalization: Challenges and Obstacles (2000). Other definitions of globalization include:

“...a historical process which transforms the spatial organization of social relations and transactions, generating transcontinental or interregional networks of activity, interaction, and the exercise of power.” [David Held and Anthony McGrew, The End of the Old Order? Globalization and the Prospects for World Order, 24 REV. INT’L STUDIES 219, 220 (1998)]

“By ‘globalization,’ I am referring to more than the phenomenon of global capital movements, market expansions, enforced free trade disciplines, and western cultural penetrations. Rather, I regard globalization as a set of conditions that are influencing international relations in not only the realms of economics and commerce, but also in transportation and communications, culture and ideas, and politics and security. In short, the permissible realm of international legal regulation is the ambit of globalization.” [David Bederman, Globalization, International Law and United States Foreign Policy, 50 EMORY L. J. 717, 718 (2001)]

Globalization involves “the compression of time and space [through technology and advances in telecommunications.” [Dr. Louis Goodman, Lecture at the Inter-American Defense College (Feb. 20, 2002)]
