Giddens (1999) and Waters (1995) believe that

globalisation involves the compression of time and space so that we can now

travel greater distances in the shortest time due to improvements in

transportation

Some authors believe that globalisation is a

completely new phenomenon that is completely changing the world

According

to Hoogvelt (1997) believes that globalisation is a completely new development

that is unrelated to prior historical processes such as industrial capitalism

or colonialism

Some of the authors such as Hirst and Thompson

(1996) tend to problematize and even question the usefulness of the concept of

globalisation on both empirical and theoretical grounds

According to the Study Guide, Cohen and Kennedy

(2013) believe that globalisation refers to the intensive interconnections and

interdependency of people in different parts of the world
