Globalization Theory

Written by admin on September 1, 2007 – 10:00 pm

There have been important scientific debates on the genesis and the importance of globalization, with different points of view of those who believe that there is no change to what already exists with earlier versions of commerce and national movements on the stat hypertext globalisationists to believe that the consequences of globalization and feel that the sovereignty of nations has been greatly reduced. But these two viewpoints to define globalization in economic terms alone.

The recent trend has been expanding the definition for a number of other characteristics. The fact that the structure and the Agency is of great importance for social integration, cultural and political theory is indisputable. Traditionally, its application has been used for causal explanation of the change by a structure (for example the strength of industrialization) or body (eg the action of individuals). The debate was classical structure versus Agency.

However, theories of globalization, a global perspective on the unit of analysis rather than the nation-state, and therefore far from classical thinkers like Marx, Weber and Durkheim, committed to the nation-state as a source of analysis and explain fully contributed in the Agency argument against the structure. Anthony Giddens concept of duality in a process of structuring may be more useful for the declaration of social protection, cultural and political life, both as regards their structural factors and with regard to the different measures, they brought .

This theory may be consulted on the level of the Agency for the nation-state, as well as the individual, a structural deficit at the level of globalization. This may be particularly useful in the causal analysis of the declaration of historic change in the exploration of theories of globalization. The lack of analysis can be done without explaining the roles and relationships between structure and the theory of Giddens Agency may be an acceptable means for the analysis of relations between macro and micro levels.
