Globalization is widely described as the process of nations and societies becoming more interconnected and interdependent, due to political, economic and social changes. While globalization is nothing new historically speaking, due to technological advancements and the widespread adherence to economic liberalization over the last few decades, the effects of globalization will continue to be significant well into the 21st century.
The process of globalization has widely increased the availability of information for people across the world. By the use of Internet and advanced mobile services, people are able to discuss business plans and proposals on an international level as well as exchange private data securely. Global communication services have also contributed to the enlightenment and development of the political process in a number of states.
