Globalization has led to growing interdependence between all processes through the establishment of a global financial and economic area, advances in information technologies, and a changing role for states with diminishing national borders. Key features include the universality of democratic systems and socio-cultural values spreading worldwide. Globalization also involves increasing flows of goods, people, information and capital between countries through various networks and modes of transportation that are speeding up and expanding in capacity. While globalization can increase economic growth and cultural understanding, it also risks greater social and economic instability through the disruption of local communities, homogenization of cultures, and growing power of multinational corporations.
