Globalization can thus be defined as the intensification of worldwide
social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local
happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice
versa.
Anthony Giddens, Director of the London School of Economics

Globalization itself is neither good nor bad. It has the power to do
enormous good — but for many, it seems closer to an unmitigated disaster.
Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize winner for Economics
Globalization may be thought of as a process (or set of processes) which
embodies a transformation in the spatial organization of social relations
and transactions — assessed in terms of their extensity, intensity, velocity
and impact — generating transcontinental or interregional flows and
networks of activity, interaction, and the exercise of power.
David Held, Professor of Political Science at the
London School of Economics
Globalization as a concept refers both to the compression of the world
and the intensification of consciousness of the world as a whole.
Roland Robertson, Professor of Sociology at the University of Pittsburgh
