ABSTRACT
Globalization is a product of the emergence of a global economy. The process of globalization is seen as a blurring of national boundaries, a shifting of solidarities within and between nation-states, which deeply affects the constitution of national and interest group identities (Morrow and Torres 2000). The term “globalization” is generally used to refer to a complicated set of economic, political, and cultural factors. As a result of expanding world trade, nations and individuals experience greater economic and political interdependence (Wells et al. 1998). New communication technologies that facilitate expanded world trade as well as cultural interaction are considered the determinants that lead to the emergence of globalization. It is widely believed that globalization is transforming the political, economic and cultural lives of people all around the world, whether in the developed countries or developing ones, and that globalization is driving a revolution in the organization of work, the production of goods and services, relations among nations, and even local culture (Pang 2006a).
