“…This school includes Baldwin & Martin (1999), Therborn (2000), Robertson (2003), World Bank (2002), and Schwab (2018. In this school, the scholars see globalization as several historical waves, such as "two waves" (Baldwin & Martin, 1999), "three waves" (World Bank, 2002, Robertson, 2003, "four waves" (Schwab, 2018), "five waves" (Targowski, 2014), and "six waves" (Therborn, 2000).…”

“…Rather, we need to redesign them from the ground up, so that we can capitalize on the new opportunities that await us, while avoiding the kind of disruptions that we are witnessing today" (Schwab, 2018). Targowski (2014) argues about five waves of globalization. This involves with the world-wide flow of goods, money, information, and people with scope and intensity that the progress of history has been altered.…”

For a long time, many studies have been involved with the globalization research among academia, business practitioners, and policy analysts. It is highly controversial on what globalization is about. Scholars and experts explore globalization from a variety of perspectives with an emphasis on business and economic matters. Many recognize that it was complex of examining globalization. Based on the literature reviewed, this study aims at discussing the globalization as an ongoing integration process. By taking an interdisciplinary approach, the article seeks for clarifying the concept of globalization. It is to examine globalization from a globalizing process. The study concludes that globalization is an ongoing process of globalizing culture, economy, and institution towards a global integration.

“…Now that world population is most likely to reach nine billion by 2050, and the ecological footprints of most cities far exceed their local territories, for any civilisation to survive (Rees, 2006) a universal conserving and sharing culture must be developed (Targowski, 2004). Therefore, the over‐riding role of life‐long education world‐wide has to be oriented toward viability through understanding and being committed to ecological and co‐cultural symbiosis.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to encourage professional designers of many kinds, and especially those of the entertainment media, to understand themselves as actually being partners in a common educative enterprise, which is through artistry, predictive knowledge, non‐dominative legitimative discourse and technology, helping people everywhere to learn to desire to, and to be able to, survive reasonably pleasantly on Earth for a very long time to come.Design/methodology/approachThis paper puts forward three theses: collapse of civilisation is immanent unless people can be educated to live symbiotically with one another and Gaia; all designs have educative and mis‐educative importance; designers need to learn to use higher level cybersystemic approaches to be beneficial. Then it argues for the plausibility of these theses from philosophical educational to practical perspectives. In particular, it argues for the importance of modifying cultural propagation so that all our main cultures can become “symviable” – that is can come to live symbiotically with one an other and with the ecosystems of Earth. And it is argued that, in order to facilitate this enterprise, a cybernetic understanding of the processes and actions of the complex historically emergent higher level cybersystems in which the authors are all embedded, and which are embedded in us, should become the basis for designers, actual practice.FindingsBy reviewing designers' functional levels historically the paper finds that many different kinds of influential designers have actually functioned at the higher cybersystemic levels the authors advocate and hence can be guiding exemplars in this newly precarious situation.Originality/valueA deeper cybersystemic understanding of just how people are all parts of one mutually educating and mutually surviving Earth‐life system changes the value of everything. Designers who manage to use such understanding should be both more successful and more satisfied with the value of their work.

The purpose of this investigation is to characterize the impact of Five Waves of Globalization which are taking place in the last 500 years upon the world civilization. As the result of these waves, the Global Civilization is emerging in the 21st century. Its religion, society and infrastructure will be defined and associated repercussions. It is a very rare case when one can observe the rise of a new civilization during one's live. At the end of 2nd Millennium, two civilizations; Western-West and Japanese were at level of saturation, which pushed them to external expansion, leading to the creation of the Global Economy. From the end of World War II until 1973, the United States experienced sustained economic growth. But at the beginning of the 21st century, the U.S. with a saturated national economy looks for assuring sustainable growth by exercising competitive advantage through lowering costs with the help of outsourcing strategies around the globe. At the dawn of the 21st century, the IVth Wave of Globalization has been transforming Western Civilization into Global Civilization, since Christianity has been replaced by a Global Religion (under the form of business religion), Global Information and Transportation Infrastructures became very popular solution to globally communicating ideas and decisions as well as moving materials, goods, and people. Eventually the Global Society became a visible, strong entity developing Global Culture as distinctive similar patterns of behavior practiced around the world
