The New Politics of Globalization

The New Politics of Globalization refers to how countries, businesses, and individuals now influence global interconnectedness. It highlights shifts where traditional power structures are changing—sometimes leading to increased national interests and skepticism toward global institutions. This era sees debates around economic inequality, migration, digital technology, and environmental issues becoming more politically charged. While globalization once focused on free trade and open borders, current politics emphasize balancing global collaboration with protecting local jobs, cultures, and sovereignty, reflecting a more complex and often contentious relationship between nations and the interconnected world.
