1. Summary
Political globalization is conducted among interdependent organizations and accelerating. Political globalization helps to benefit from active political exchanges by utilizing characteristics of each country. It also helps solve global political problems such as environmental pollution, war, racial discrimination, and religious conflicts. However, the political crisis of one country can adversely affect other countries due to the influence of political globalization. There is also concern that the politics of the world is dominated by some advanced countries. Therefore, we can say that political globalization has double-sided character.
According to this article, political globalization can be understood in three processes: global geopolitics, global normative culture, polycentric networks
First process is 'global geopolitics'. Each different political culture is rising by democratic nation-state of world. This means the spread of democracy. In the democratic politic, the political globalization has been the basis of ‘new world order(ex. United States)’. It is globalization based on territory and traditional form.
Second process is 'global nomative culture'. This is independent of geopolitics. These global culture rules can give effects to people in the world. And it is largely legal but diffused in global political communication. Human rights and environmental concerns can be one of the main example of this. Thanks to the development of communication skills and the globalization of popular culture, political communication has no longer been restricted by borders and has changed globally.
Third process is 'polycentric networks'. Polycentric network has meaning that social network had 'many centre'. This is forms of nonterritorial politics and which cannot be reduced to a single centre. It also related to emerging forms of global governance. And it is related non-territorial politics such as communication and new relationship.
Multifaceted network led this process and this process is associated with a new global governance. Global governance has an influence as an independent entity. This is because global governance has a continuing impact on countries and markets in the era of political globalization. It is because of the influence of political globalization that social problems exist not in one country but in many countries. Thus, these three processes, which are influenced by political socialization, are not independent of each other and are deeply related.
The power of nation is still powerful. However, due to the development of traffic and communication technology, the whole world is connected to one. As a result, It is hard to control the whole world. As the influence of political globalization becomes more powerful, new forces are trying to dominate the nation state. Some scholars argue that the nation state is absorbed in the global market under the influence of political globalization. Even if globalization deepens, the nation state will not disappear completely. However, the independence of each country is gradually weakening. Transnational organizations will emerge and functional structures will be passed on to these organizations. The separation of nationality and citizenship, and the vagueness of the boundaries between national and international law, is a social change that shows that the nation state is changing in response to globalization. Living in these changes, we need to be aware of the globalization of the world with a sense of global citizenship.

2. What is interesting?
As I study various globalizations, I am always interested in the double -sided character of globalization. Most people who do not study carefully about globalization think globalization is always good. However, in order to have the right citizenship in the world in the era of globalization, it is necessary to identify not only the advantages of globalization but also the disadvantages of globalization and efforts to minimize the effects of the disadvantages.
Also, the analysis of plitical globalization in three processes in this article was new and very interesting. I was able to study the globalization in each process in detail thanks to this analysis. I always feel that I have to look at various perspectives from a wide range when I study globalization.
3. Discussion Point
I read and studied this article and wanted to discuss the difference between 'political globalization' and 'economic globalization'. There will be a reason to classify globalization into political and economic aspects. Of course the boundary may be not clear, but I want to know about the difference between the two aspects and the reason for the classification, and discuss it.
