1. In place of the old local and national seclusion and self-sufficiency, we have
intercourse in every direction, universal interdependence of nations. And as in
material, so also in intellectual production. The intellectual creations of individual
nations become common property. National one-sidedness and narrowmindedness become more and more impossible, and from the numerous national
and local literatures, there arises a world literature (quoted in Beck, 2000) - Marx &
Engels 1848
2. To an increasing degree, the live of the individual anywhere is affected by events
and processes everywhere. (p.481) - Moore 1966
3. The nation-state is just about through as an economic unit. The world is too small.
It is just too easy to get about. - Kindleberger 1969
4. The emergent global order is locked in a major conflict between the consumerist
'McWorld' on the one hand and the identity politics of the 'Jihad' on the other. Barber 1996
5. The global economy is an economy with the capacity to work as a unit in real time
on a planetary scale (p.92) - Castells 1996
6. We are presently experiencing a clash of civilizations. Huntington 1996
7. If the defining perspective of the Cold War world was "division," the defining
perspective of globalization is "integration." The symbol of the Cold War system
was a wall, which divided everyone. The symbol of the globalization system is a
World Wide Web, which unites everyone. The defining document of the Cold War
system was "The Treaty." The defining document of the globalization system is "The
Deal." - Friedman 1999
8. Globalization is political, technical and cultural, as well as economic. It is ‘new'
and ‘revolutionary' and is mainly due to the ‘massive increase' in financial foreign
exchange transactions. This has been facilitated by dramatic improvement in
communications technology, especially electronic interchange facilitated by
personal computers. (p.10) Giddens 1999
9. Globalization - however the word is understood - implies the weakening of state
sovereignty and state structures. (p.86) -Beck 2000
