Concept information

Preferred term

globalisation  

Definition

  • The term has moved from a simple descriptor of a process that becomes worldwide or ‘makes global’ to a more complex concept. This transformation arises in large part from the rapid development of systems of communications and the impact of trends, policies and role models on a global scale.
