From the Paper:

"Globalization is the quintessential 'buzzword' of the times. Politicians speak at length about it, academic journals are filled with material on it, and it seems as though a new book is published daily dealing with its subject matter. Terms such as the 'global village,' 'global governance' and 'global transformations' have all been coined in the past few decades in an attempt to make sense of and to further explain the phenomenon of globalization. With the proliferation of capitalism since the Cold War, an influx of multi-national corporations and their products into areas never before reached, and technological advancements increasing at a breakneck speed, there is not a single corner of the world that is left untouched or uninfluenced by the 'Western' world."
