Globalization is often identified as a dynamic process mainly caused by the societies that live under democratic capitalism or liberal democracy and who have opened their doors to the information revolution, folding to a considerable degree of liberalization and democratization of its political culture, in its legal system and national economic and international relations.
This process originated in Western civilization that has spread around the world in the last decades of the Contemporary Age (second half of the twentieth century) received its greatest impetus with the fall of communism and the end of the Cold War and continues into the twenty-first century.

In culture is characterized by a process that connects the local societies and cultures in a global culture (Global Village) in this regard there is divergence of views on whether it is a Western phenomenon of assimilation or multicultural fusion. Technologically globalization depends on progress in human connectivity (transport and telecommunications) by facilitating the free movement of persons and the spread of ICTs and the Internet. At the ideological level and creeds and traditional collectivist values \u200b\u200band will cause widespread indifference gave way to individualism and cosmopolitanism of the open society. Meanwhile the governments are losing political powers to what has been called network society, activism increasingly revolves around social networking, has extended the transition to democracy against despotic regimes, and highlights public policies efforts to transition to capitalism in some of the former command economies and developed economies of some countries but with varying degrees of success. The world geopolitically unipolarity debate between the American superpower and the emergence of new regional powers, international relations and multilateralism and soft power mechanisms become more accepted by the international community.
