Globalisation can be decribed in a number of ways, but is basically the shrinking barriers between different parts of the world and the increased links found between them. Definitions include:
- a social process in which the constraints of geography on social and cultural arrangements recede and in which people are increasingly aware that they are receding (Waters 1995)
- all those processes by which the peoples of the world are incorporated into a single world society, global society (Albrow 1990)
- economic integration, achieved in particular through the establishment of a global marketplace marked by free trade and a minimum of regulation
- the restructuring of the nation state in terms of the deregulation of financial controls, the opening of markets, and notions of efficiency, and redefining the core business of the state
