2. INTRODUCTION TO GLOBALIZATION The concept of globalization has numerous definitions, depending on the subject matter being explained. To international economists, it has a simple definition, albeit one with powerful implications . Specifically, globalization occurs when the markets of different countries become more integrated and interconnected through economic transactions that cross national borders.

3. INTRODUCTION TO GLOBALIZATION These transactions can be in real merchandise, various forms of services, financial instruments, investments in local production facilities by multinational firms (a process called foreign direct investment, or FDI), temporary and permanent labor migration, and technological information. They can involve individuals, trade between unrelated firms, transactions within international enterprises, and governments. What drives these transactions and how they are organized is endlessly fascinating.

4. GLOBALIZATION The term ‘globalization’ originates from the Latin term globus or globe in English. The noun globe, believed to be dated from the 15th century, signifies the spherical representation of the earth. The term ‘globalization’ was first used in the English language in 1959. the term globalization was invented because a “new terminology is needed to discuss a new condition”.

5. GLOBALIZATION DEFINITION IN DIFFERENT SCHOLARS Giovanni Reyes (2001) - 2 Principal Meanings which is Globalization is a phenomenon and Globalization is a theory of economic Development. Beck (2009)- Globalization as a Process: Beck sees globalization as a process where the power and influence of individual sovereign states are increasingly shaped and challenged by transnational actors. Schafer (2007)- Spatial Expansion: Schafer emphasizes that globalization involves a geographical expansion, meaning that it affects more and more of the globe. Utkin (2002)- Market Forces vs. State Control: Utkin argues that globalization, drawing from the ideology of globalism, is driven by market forces rather than state actions. According to him, the forces of the market, such as global trade and investment dynamics, play a central role in shaping the process of globalization, rather than decisions made by individual governments.

6. TERMS AND CONCEPTS This refers to how entities and actors around the world are linked together in a globalized system. INTERCONNECTEDNESS INTERDEPENDENCE INTEGRATION FLOWS This describes the mutual reliance among countries, organizations, and individuals in the international community.
