ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the globalization as a process by which networks of interaction spread around the world especially across national borders connecting diverse people, institutions, ideas, and representations in increasingly complex patterns of interdependence. The globalization of political activism In the half of the 1990s, it became commonplace to see the internet as a basis for a radical globalization of political discourse and activism. In April 2007, Estonia’s decision to move a Soviet World War II memorial from its place in central Tallinn resulted in what was described in the NewYorkTimes as “the first war in cyberspace.” However, large and complex networks are usually hard to maintain, and are inferior to hierarchical organizations when required to allocate resources, coordinate action and perform tasks on a large scale. While the attempts to account for the globalization of networked social structures are paving a way through new territories, theories concerning the globalization of culture predate the internet.
