4.2D Globalization

The core shift

Globalization is the growing connection and interdependence of people, businesses, and countries worldwide. It predates the internet, but digital systems have accelerated it far past what earlier trade or travel could reach.
Distance was once a real barrier; now a message, payment, or design crosses the planet instantly, and a company can coordinate work in a dozen countries at once.
This is where change, space, and power meet. Connection spreads wealth and opportunity, but it can also concentrate power and deepen inequality. Picture many flows of goods, money, culture, and data: whoever controls the pipes has the upper hand over the exchange.

A world without distance

The engine is digital connectivity: through the internet and mobile networks, people communicate, trade, and collaborate worldwide instantly and at almost no cost.
This collapses distance: a student takes a course on another continent, a small shop sells worldwide via e-commerce, and teams across time zones work around the clock.
1. Connection rests on physical things: undersea cables, satellites, and vast data centres, most owned and routed through a few wealthy countries and firms. A borderless world still has a geography, and it favours whoever owns the hardware.
Power and space questions remain: flows are unequal in both directions, English and a few dominant platforms shape the exchange, and the poorly connected are left on the edges. Everyone is connected, but rarely on equal terms.
