1. In my opinion, Post-American World Order will increase the relevancy of the Clash of Civilizations. To answer this question, I would like to explain about globalization and realism theory.
The advancement of technology and information has taken place in many countries. The Advancement of communication technology with the more extensive network of television, radio, and the Internet spread in different countries with different cultures create a society in a country can easily get information from countries around the world. This has led globalization. Globalization is the process whereby individual lives and local communities are affected by economic and cultural forces that operate world-wide (Ashcroft, Griffiths, & Tiffin, 2000). Opportunities

According to Fareed Zakaria in his book “The Post American World”, he mention “three tectonic power shifts” which is one of it is “the rise of the rest” (Zakaria, 2011). He said that “the rise of the rest”, the United States will no longer become the superpower country because there are many country that are have a great power in dimensions: industrial, financial, educational, social, cultural. Such as for example, the world's biggest plane is built in Russia and Ukraine, its leading refinery is under construction in India, and its largest factories are all in China (Zakaria, 2011). Although the United States is still the number one of political force in the world, looking from the rising of great powers from several countries, it because of Globalization. The distribution of power is shifting, moving away from American dominance (Zakaria, …show more content…
The people can also easily can learn and communicate with people from a different country. However, when there is an advantage, there will be also disadvantages of globalizations.
The disadvantages of globalization such as loss of native culture of a region or a country; enterprises have to compete also with international competitors, and exploitation of natural resources. Also, one thing that mostly people forget about the negative impact of globalization is clash of civilizations. However, some perspective sayings that clash of civilizations caused by globalization can be solved by dialogue among civilizations. So, how can Dialogue between Civilizations contribute to the management of negative impacts of Globalization?
The idea of "dialogue among civilizations" is a response to Samuel Huntington’s thesis, an American political scientist who said that the world today was hit by a "clash of civilizations". According to Seyyed Mohammad Khatami, “while negotiation and debate focus on differences, dialogue is based on commonalities. The goal is to reach for mutual knowledge and coexistence, and peace (and perhaps political achievements) can be gained from dialogue” (Iranian Diplomacy,
Kwame Anthony Appiah Argument The answer to the globalization pandemic is cosmopolitanism. Globalization is described as being negative according to Kwame Anthony Appiah it’s a one-way thinking or a one-way frame of mind. We are responsible for ourselves and things should be done on our individual terms. An example he gives is “I want you to be my brother on my terms.”
A great change United States history was the development of the country as a whole, regarding its magnitude in land mass and overall spread of acquired territory. Also known as the Age of American Imperialism, this significant expansion came about from foreign relations with other nations. Through peaceful negotiations, as well as violent conflicts, the U.S.’s sphere of influence and control expanded across various bodies of water. Increased involvement with world relations triggered a shift in power from one side of the world to the other, which would lead to the establishment of the U.S. as a world power, or an independent entity powerful enough to bring change on a global scale. Foreign relations between the U.S. and other nations during the late 1800s and early 1900s increased and became more complex as their involvement within global affairs likewise intensified.
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. The most common example of globalization might be Ebay or Amazon. Nowadays flows of goods and services are not only cheap and fast, but reliable and secure.
Further, Dershowitz argues that the Iranians would not feel bound to honor its provision regarding centrifuges, inspections, and other constraints. In conclusion, the Iran Nuclear Deal predominantly is an effort by the United Nations to engage Iran into producing a peaceful nuclear program for advances in science and technology. Clearly President Obama wants his major foreign policy achievement to be: choosing peace over war with Iran. Globally, the nuclear deal is an approach based on diplomacy and opposing war, which provides the best hope for improving the human and civil rights for Iranian citizens. Supporters in Iran and other legitimate nation-states believe the nuclear deal is a fundamental way to achieve stability and peace domestically, in Iran, and the latter hopes of spreading peaceful negotiations throughout the Middle East.
I. INTRODUCTION a. BACKGROUND: Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different countries, a procedure compelled by international trade and investment, and supported by information technology. Furthermore, this process has an effect on various other systems such as on the environment, culture, political systems, economic development and prosperity and lastly, on human physical well-being in societies around the world. “Since 1950, for example, the volume of world trade has increased by 20 times, and from just 1997 to 1999 flows of foreign investment nearly doubled, from $468 billion to $827 billion” (York, 2016). Technology has been another primary driver of globalization,
Clash of civilization by Samuel Huntington is believed to be containing facts about the political scene during the cold war era and stated or hypothesized that there is a new order prior to the end of the cold war. Societies and civilizations were divided by ideological differences. Political struggle between the ideologies of democracy and communism fueled Huntington’s arguments within the book. To begin his argument, Huntington classified civilization as the broadest cultural entity he also stated that civilizations are mortal but endures for a very long time and evolves overtime. Huntington also refutes some of the past paradigms that have been ineffective in explaining or calculating the reality of the global political order.
Introduction Nowadays people can communicate easily. They can share their ideas, their cultures even with people who are not in their countries. They can trade, transporting products around the world in just a few days. This is a big economy where everything related to each other. This is globalization.
About 250 million years ago, all the continents were linked together as one body known as Pangaea. There were no barriers separating the continents and the world was united as one. Today, we experience this effect once again; however, this time nations are connecting through the power of globalization. There has been three main factors that played major roles in which globalization differ from 21st century and 20th century: cultural intelligence, media, and education. Cultural acceptance in the 20th century was not acknowledged as much as today, because people were still adjusting to the Post War Era.
Globalization is a unique term as it generates different concepts among people and aspects such as development inevitably arise. It is the goal of different nations to globalize not only their economies but also their political systems and cultures. Globalization defines how various societies, corporations and countries interact through information technology for business. As a result, globalization influences global elements like politics, cultural aspects, improvement and the environment. For instance, for many years, people have been buying and selling goods to people living in lands that are distant, which is an aspect of globalization.
Globalization encourages integration between government, businesses and common people from all over the world, which is a product of interchanging ideas and mutual sharing of views. Globalization can also be defined as bringing the world together or connecting to the world through defined systems (Cohen, 2013). Globalization can be facilitated by the Internet or by some other networking medium. The technological
GLOBALIZATION, TECHNOLOGY AND LAW Globalization and Technology Globalization has completely transformed the way in which the world and its people interact. Earlier there were several roadblocks in the ability to communicate and interact with the people worldwide. But now, the world is becoming more and more globalized in all spheres: Business, financial, social, economical, etc. Over the years, a lot of technological advancements have come into picture including the changes in the field of Information Technology, having a significant impact on the global landscape.
Now lets put a light on the disadvantages of Globalisation. The main reason for the downside of globalisation is that it distinguishes between social class ans status. This leads to political and social uneasiness and financial unreliability that will restrain growth. Many of the world’s poorest people do not have access to basic technologies and public goods. They are eliminated from the benefits.
Towards the end of Schmidt’s chapter, he discusses the key ideas regarding the three Great Debates and the issues with the image of the Great Debates. Schmidt finishes off his work with a conclusion to present views of improvement and issues that are still present in the discipline of International
In reality, United States did take up the shape of a liberal hegemon and utilized its soft power to spread the ideas of liberalisms across the globe. However, Nye (2004) had argued that despite of doing this, this had negative impact on the global stability as instead of fostering peace, it brought conflict, war and violence. In the aftermath of 9/11, American was under attack from Al-Qaeda, the worldly hegemon transformed into an imperial one and adopted an aggressive approach towards those who did not conform to the liberal view of the world. This failed policy lead to the wars in Iraq, Iran and North Korea who America termed as the axis of evil. Iraq was invaded by America in 2004 because of the security threat, North Korea declared itself as a Nuclear power, whereas suspicions arise that Iran is also trying to reach nuclear capability as well.
The aim of this assessment is to reflect on what I have learned this semester regarding the module of Business in Global Context; from the lectures with the professor, the case studies done in class and the three previous patchworks that we worked on. We have learned that there are different internal and external components that affect the business environment, from corporate social responsibility to cultural and institutional framework; organizations must take into consideration all the factors related to the different parts of its environment. For the topic discussion, I will be discussing globalization and how it has affected the global business environment along with the key aspects and the different point of views regarding it.
