In Dragon Multinationals: New Players in 21st Century Globalization, John A. Matthews summarizes a key difference between 21st century and 20th century globalization by saying, “Indeed, a plausible case can be made that as globalization proceeds, it is firms and institutions from the Periphery—in particular firms from the Asia Pacific—that can be expected to most clearly articulate the global perspective and approach needed to exploit the new opportunities” (Matthews).

How does 21st century globalization differ from 20th century globalization? Is there any word that can define the 20th and 21st century? I would say that there is no better term than globalization to define late modern history. Even though globalization, as we know it today, is a phenomenon that has been clearly arising as an economic necessity since the establishment of the first commercial routes between the East and West, the importance that globalization has gained as a concept in the last two

Globalization has a history (Hirst and Thompson). While many scholars can trace the beginning of globalization way back to the fifteenth century, the second half of the twentieth century was a significant period of globalization in its own right. World War II gave globalization a new impetus. Obscured by Cold War divisions, the transformation of world society in the past six decades – in terms of linkages, institutions, and culture and consciousness – was nevertheless profound (Lechner and Boli 2015)
Common to the discourse surrounding "21st century globalisation" is the idea of communication without borders, and precisely the expansion of the internet, which many consider the primary driver of contemporary globalization. Additionally, social networks such as Facebook and Twitter have become canals for both mainstream news and citizen journalism, as well as instruments for activism (as seen during the Arab Spring or Turkey’s Gezi Park protests) and facilitating civil society around the world
essay looks at how globalization in the 21st century di"ers from globalization in the 20th century. Today, according to Manyika et al. (2016, p. 4) from the McKinsey Global Institute, “accelerating 4ows of data and information are changing the dynamics of globalization”. Prior to this, at the very turn of the century, Keohane and Nye (2000) examined their contemporary globalization and identi)ed three changes—not in degree, but in kind—that had emerged in the run-up to the 21st century.

characteristics of 21st century globalization. Advancements in technology and transportation have made international barriers almost obsolete. These particular advancements have affected major facets of 21st century globalization. The exchange and integration of languages, cultures, products, and ideas are no longer radical dreams from the 20th century.

Though no single or conclusive definition exists, ‘globalization’ generally pertains to the deepening and broadening of world-wide interconnectedness. Globalization is a far-reaching process which encompasses not only the political and economic but also the socio-cultural. The concept has achieved increased popularity following the Cold War but the actual process of globalization is no recent phenomenon; in the second millennium BCE the Silk Road, for example, allowed Chinese silks to be traded in
