It is difficult to work out what has caused globalisation. Increasing connectedness; interdependence: time-space compression; the world is getting smaller (synchronisation and de- territorialisation, homogenisation; things are the same all over the world. Forms of globalisation: cultural, economic, political and environmental. Cultural globalisation: disney is everywhere; kids watch the same films; this is some form of a universal language (homogenisation). Media corporations broadcast globally we all hear the same news from the same sources. Economic globalisation: everyday 4 trillion dollars goes across the foreign exchange market.
