Globalization: Annotated Bibliography
Gills, Dong-Sook. (2002, May). "Globalization of Production and Women in Asia."
Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. 581
(Globalization and Democracy Special Issue): 106-120.
Gillis Dong-Sook (2002) in her article "Globalization of Production and Women in Asia" asserts that globalization has fundamentally shifted the relationship of women, work and power in the developing nations of Asia. In her analysis of the economic, political, and cultural impact of globalization since the 1970s upon the region she uses a primarily data-driven, panoramic rather than specific and anecdotal approach to suggest that the borderless economy has created a new organization of production processes. Gillis wishes to show that rather than exploiting the developing world, technological advances and neoliberal ideology have empowered formerly disempowered persons, altering traditional labor relations by giving women more labor options and economic power. To feminists and liberal academics hesitant about some of the effects of globalization, Gill wishes to show the positive elements of the new economy in expanding women's economic and social leverage in many Asian countries.
Freeman, Carla (2001, Summer). "Is Local: Global as Feminine: Masculine? Rethinking
the Gender of Globalization." Signs 26(4): 1007-1037.
Carla Freeman's (2001) intriguingly titled theoretical article "Is Local: Global as Feminine: Masculine? Rethinking the Gender of Globalization" is designed to refute what the author sees as the insufficient emphasis upon gender relations in current anthropological globalization analysis. She offers a critical review of the anthropological literature of globalization to encourage a paradigmatic shift in the way that culture is conceptualized, combined with a specific case study of women's role in the Caribbean 'higgling' trade (higgling is an Afro-Caribbean method of smuggling consumer goods and selling them on the black market at a cheaper, untaxed price and often uses women as middlepersons, deploying what Freeman calls a canny bantering and negotiating style much prized in women of the region). The author's primary intent is to dispute research approaches that reinforce gender binaries and present women of the new global economy as traditional and rooted as opposed to men who are supposedly more mobile and modern in their means of sustenance. The tone and vocabulary of the article is quite academic, and requires the reader to be somewhat familiar with feminist theory and its notions of constructed binaries of gender, but her critique of the rhetoric of globalization would make it interesting to a wider academic audience.
Globalization's Effect on the United States' National Security Objective of this paper is to explore the impact of globalization on the United States national security. The study defines globalization as the increasing global relations of people, corporate organization and government. There is no doubt that the globalization provides numerous benefits to the American economy.

Globalization and National Security While the economic benefits of globalization have been frequently discussed, the very serious national security vulnerabilities which have arisen as a result of increase interconnections, both economically and socially, has garnered much less attention. The current literature on globalization either omits national security discussions entirely, or conducts them from a relatively myopic perspective The 2010 National Security Strategy attempts to rectify this, but its seems to have little effect
Women like Nancy, are now forced to deal with leasing two cultures in one lifetime; yet many are finding that the two are not as radically different as one might believe. All though Nancy is offered more opportunity for education and employment within the context of Los Angeles California, she still must face the grim reality of making less money than her male counterparts on top of the ancient burden
Globalization -A Effects of Globalizatio Globalization is the global alliance in matters of the trade, economy as well as the culture, in the literal sense; globalization is the transformation of a regional phenomenon into a global ones. It can also be described as the process in which people around the world get unified to form a one society that functions together. Globalization heavily banks upon worldwide by its expansions and integration.
The global "mindset" that companies must have is defined as "…the ability to develop and interpret criteria for business performance" that are not relying on the "assumptions of a single country, culture or context to implement those criteria appropriately…" (Begley, et al., 2003). Begley and colleagues insist that the "truly globalized corporation" sees globalization as more of a "mind-set" than a "structure" per se (p. 1). The three mind-sets that
Globalization and Culture It is stated in the work of Lieber and Weisberg that culture "in its various forms now serves as a primary carrier of globalization and modern values and constitutes an important arena of contestation for national, religious, and ethnic identity." (2002, p.273) Technology was envisioned by Bill Clinton to be such that would further the cause of liberty however the other side of technology is more ominous in
