Document Summary
Globalisation: the study of world politics has been studied within an international paradigm, states are core actors in world affairs, approach looks at how states interact with each other, approach challenged by growing interconnections and interdependence. As such, a new globalisation paradigm has emerged which is argued to re ect how global politics works. Looks at a world, not by seeing the interaction of states, but a world which operates as an integrated whole. What exactly is globalisation: term proven very dif cult and controversial to de ne, easily understood if we return to idea of growing connectedness. Held, d. , mcgre, . , goldblatt, d. , perraton, j. (1999), global transformations: politics, economics and. Simple de nition: the widening, intensifying, speeding up, and growing impact of world-wide interconnectedness . Positive = narrow traditions are being challenged through exposure to ideas from around world. See nothing more than greater economic interdependence (not integration).
