Globalization refers to which concept?

• A. Policies that govern internal affairs of a country.
• B. A government's strategy in dealing with other nations.
• C. The process of increased interconnectedness and interdependence among countries.
• D. The goals and ambitions of a nation, including economic, military, and cultural objectives.

Answer: (C)

Globalization is the process of increased interconnectedness and interdependence among countries across economic, political, cultural, and technological dimensions. It shows up in global trade and investment, multinational corporations, cross-border information flows, migration, and shared institutions and standards that knit the world together. The other descriptions point to domestic governance, a government's approach to diplomacy, or a nation's own objectives, which describe different ideas than the overall pattern of cross-border linkages that globalization refers to.
