ABSTRACT
Over the past decade, globalization has intensified worldwide economic, social, and cultural transformations. Globalization is structured by three powerful, interrelated formations: (1) the postnationalization of production and distribution of goods and services, fueled by growing levels of international trade, foreign direct investment, and capital market flows; (2) the emergence of new information and communication technologies that place a premium on knowledge-intensive work; and (3) unprecedented levels of worldwide migration that generate significant demographic and cultural changes in most regions of the world.
