Explanation

Globalization is defined as the intensification of worldwide social relations that link distant localities, effectively bypassing or transcending territorial borders [1]. Unlike 'internationalization,' which focuses on external relations between states (inter-state politics), globalization involves supraterritorial or transterritorial connections where social space is no longer mapped solely by geography [1]. It encompasses thinking about global risks—such as environmental or economic crises—that affect people regardless of national boundaries [1]. Furthermore, the essence of globalization includes a vision of global governance or suprastate governance, moving from traditional statism toward polycentrism and multi-scalar public governance to manage these interconnected issues. While statement 1 describes internationalization (inter-state relations), statements 2, 3, and 4 accurately capture the transformative, transterritorial, and governance-oriented essence of globalization as a process of rapid integration [2].
