 Globalization is a relatively new word used to describe a very old process. This term was first coined in the 1980’s, but the concept goes back decades, even centuries with our human ancestors moving out to Africa to spread all over the globe. Some would say the world was as globalized 100 years ago as it is today, with international trade and migration.

An accepted definition neither exists in science, nor in the broader public debate. There are many different definitions of Globalization. British sociologist Anthony Giddens, defines globalization as an intensification of worldwide social relations, via which faraway places are linked together in such a way that events in one place are affected by processes taking place many miles away, and vice-versa.
