components that highlights different aspects of the globalisation. The
ideas on globalisation in order to enhance the comprehensive
understanding will be discussed in this essay.

World 3.0
 For several years global thinkers believe that the world is flat and
all the nations are interconnect with each other sharing their
borders and culture with each other.
 Pankaj Ghemawat, Professor of Global Strategy at IESE Business
School in Barcelona shared a different view and contradicts on

as globalised as we think”.

calls, the percentage raised to 6 to 7 per cent.
 Author straightforwardly said that the social media networking
sites such as Facebook, people weren't as global as they think. He
said that only 10 to 15 per cent of total Facebook friends of an
individual are from out of country.

Anthony Giddens’ ideas on globalisation
 He defines globalisation as an
augmentation of relations between
society living in different countries by
creating nexus in such a manner that
domestic occurrence are designed by
events and shared adequately with the
help of enrich sources of
communication and internet to people
living miles away.

Cont.

capitalists economy.
 The first dimension is the world capitalists economy. The core focus of strengths in the
world's financial state are the capitalists states where the enterprise in the capitalists
economy is the primary form of production.
 The second dimension of globalisation is nation-state system which has lengthy
involvement in the reflexivity traits of modernity as a whole.
 World military weaponry is the third dimension of globalisation where the stupendous
catastrophic powers of contemporary armoury is possessed by almost all states and
countries.
 Industrial development is the fourth dimension of globalisation in which the most

The “End of Poverty” movement and the contrary
assertion that “Trade NOT aid” is the way to a more
globalised world that mitigates against poverty.
 Poverty is considered as one of the major challenges that affects country' s governance
policies.
 Trade not aid is the strategy which is used by the developing countries which is based
upon idea where developing countries believes that if they trade more at large with
developed countries than they would have more sustainable income which eradicates
their dependencies on external aid to undertake developmental projects.

Cont.

nourishes and improve the way any country trade it products and services to another
country.

and services from one country to another. Globalisation plays crucial role in sharing of
culture, beliefs and characteristics of different nations. The report sheds light on the view of
Pankaj Ghemawat book, World 3.0 in which he put forwards his facts regarding why the
world is not globalised as any individual perceived. The ideas of globalisation and its
dimension proposed by Anthony Giddens has been described succinctly in the study. The
role of Trade Not Aid strategy in eliminating poverty in developing countries has been
