In 2005, Thomas Friedman, a noted American journalist, wrote a book titled The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
. There is a more recent edition The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
The book has had some influence.
What does Friedman mean about the world is flat?
What are the 3 eras of globalization according to Friedman?
How does this connect with our earlier coverage of globalization?
Is Friedman right?
Pankaj Ghemawat: Actually, the world isn't flat
Key terms: globalization, social media, anti-globalization movement,
What is globaloney? How is Ghemawat using the term?
In this past this term referred to an unrealistic foreign policy or global outlook. That fits Ghemawat's usage, but Ghemawat is more specific. How?
How does this connect with our earlier coverage of globalization?If Ghemawat included data on film and television, what do you think he'd say?
