4. 5 PERSPECTIVES ON THE
ORIGINS OF GLOBALIZATION

5. PICTURE ANALYSIS

6. • HARDWIRED
-proposes that globalization originated from the basic motivation of human beings to seek a
better life (Chanda, 2007).
-Chanda (2007) mentioned that commerce, religion, politics, and warfare are the "urges" of
people toward a better life.
• CYCLE
- there is no single point of origin in globalization but it is a long-term cyclical process
• EPOCHS
-these are also called "waves" and each has its own origin.
-it argues that the previous epochs are not returning in the future. The following are
the great epoch according to Therborn (2000):

7. • The fourth to the seventh centuries which witnessed the globalization of religions (e.g.
Christianity, Islam).
• The late fifteenth-century highlighted by European colonial conquests.
• The late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries during which various Intra. European
wars led to globalization.
• The mid-nineteenth century to 1918; the heyday of European imperialism.
• The post World War II period
• The post Cold War period
• EVENTS
- it specifies the event that is somehow responsible for the origin of globalization.
Some are examples of the point of origin from the perspective of Events:
• The spread of Christianity after the fall of the Roman Empire.
• The Other important Voyages such as the discovery of America by Christopher's Columbus
in 1942, Vasco Da Gama rounding the Cape of Good Hope in 1498, and the
circumnavigation of the globe completed in 1522 by one of Ferdinand Magellan' s ships
(Rosenthal, 2007)

8. 3. European Colonialism
4. The founding of the modern Internet-based on Arpanet (which was created in 1969).
• BROADER, MORE RECENT CHANGES
-origin of globalization has taken place during the recent changes that happened in the 2nd
half of the 20th century.
-Scholars have identified three significant changes that shape the course of humanity
towards globalization:
• The emergence of the United States as the global power in the years following WW II
• The emergence of multinational corporations (MNCs).
• The demise of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War
