Week 3-4: Globalization and History

While there are many different definitions of globalisation present I particularly liked the definition of globalisation by Chanda (2003) which states that globalisation is a historical process that first began with the movement of people out of Africa into other parts of the world. Globalization has had a huge impact and resulted in an increased connectedness between different cultures. Could this mean that we are now part of a single global culture? 

Chanda (2003) says that through increasing global connectivity the world is made an economically and politically unified place. However, I do disagree a bit with Chanda since global connectivity could also result in economic and political disconnection especially for developing countries.
