Reflection Paper: Introduction to Globalization

Globalization is a vastly trend. It is no uncertainty that there are numerous positives rise out of
globalization, yet similarly, some genuine negatives brought from this trend. This book of Brown is going
to address some constructive outcomes of globalization for the most part and after that, it will
concentrate on the effects of this trend on developing countries such as in the US, India, and other
countries in the European Union. In the first part of the article about the new economy, it says that
there were advantages and disadvantages in globalization. The positive effect is that everything was
convenient because of modern technology and the workload was made easier that help shaped a brand
new economy. Everything here in the world is much more connected than before. All of the ideas and
works of the people were easily shared. On the other hand, the negative effect will be the deskilling of
people from basic skills that they do on a regular day basis since a lot of new technologies emerged to
do the work for them. Also, dematerialization occurred because of the founders of big companies such
as Microsoft and Google whereas they focused on technology-based products such as computers and
Information Technology (IT) works such as programming and developing software that can lead to a
faster connection. The US was symbolized as dominant in making of steels and motors but now it’s
about Microsoft and other IT-based companies.

This book of Brown assesses the general significance of the International Relations theory of the
literature on globalization. It argues that globalization is a pervasively unsettling process that needs to
be explained not only as an issue in its own right but for the insight which it affords into related areas of
theory. In short, it advances an analytical model whereas globalization itself can be understood and
utilizes this as a theoretical scheme that may be applied more generally. The most important
conceptualization of the globalization issue within International Relations has been the debate between
the advocates of state redundancy and the champions of continuing state potency. In turn, these
arguments rest upon an image of state capacities being eroded by external forces, or of external forces
being generated by state action. In either case, there is the assumed duality of the states set off from
and ranged against, a seemingly external environment. Instead, this book argues that the state occupies
a middle ground between the positive and negative effects and is itself both shaped by formative of the
process of globalization.

In conclusion, Globalization has a wider social impact that pronounced in recent years and isn’t a
new phenomenon. It is an innovation whereas it is an advantage for bigger companies. It is interrupting
the industries' operation all over the world and putting a modern working environment into a steady
condition. There are advantages of globalization such as global and cultural diversity, higher standards
and improved information between different countries. Some of the disadvantages, hollowing out of
work since jobs are being replaced entirely by rapid advances in technology. Also, earnings changes
since bigger companies tend to offer their services at a much-reduced rate compare to those who live in
countries that have a bigger standard of living.
