Globalisation is a multi-dimensional concept. It has political, economic and cultural manifestations, and these must be adequate distinguished. The impact of globalisation in vastly uneven. It affects some societies more than others. It is important to avoid drawing general conclusions about the impact of globalisation without paying sufficient attention to specific contexts. Globalisation as a concept fundamentally deals with flows. These flows could be of various kinds- ideas moving from one part of the world to another, capital shunted between two or more places, commodities being traded across borders, and people moving in search of better livelihoods to different parts of the world.
