What is Globalization?

Globalization is the growing interdependence of countries through increased cross-border transactions and capital flows. This evaluation discusses two prominent globalization indices: the AT Kearney Index and the KOF Index, as measures of global interaction. We'll explore how these indices can be represented spatially, highlight the opportunities and threats arising from globalization, and pose critical questions geographers may consider regarding these trends. Understanding these aspects aids in grasping globalization's complex nature and its impact on global relationships.
