Africa
There are several countries in Africa that have been globalized. Somalia is a prime example of an African nation that has many different factors that can and will result in the success or failure of globalization. On the one hand, there is a great deal of terrorist issues that arise out of the region that complicate the World's perception of Somalia and impedes its efforts to globalize. According to Bradshaw et al. (2004) Somalia was once governed by corrupt leadership from 1969 to 1990. After the fall of this government there were many insurrections which resulted in political and civil unrest. The United States attempted to aid in recapturing stability in the region but efforts failed and the United States withdrew troops in 1995 (Bradshaw et al. 2004). However, the meetings in Djibouti in 2000 resulted in the establishment of the Transitional National Government (Bradshaw et al. 2004).
Although the establishment of this government initially appeared to be promising, it has failed to bring stability to the region. One of the main reasons for the nation's inability to maintain stability has been its unwillingness to work closely with Ethiopia (Bradshaw et al. 2004). The authors assert that instead the country has attempted to rely on Arab nations. As a result Ethiopia has supported opposition groups inside Somalia (Bradshaw et al. 2004). The authors report that "Somalia remains ungovernable as a "shadow state" in which local groups exploit the political and strategic impulses of foreign interests (Bradshaw et al. 2004)."
In addition to the political instability Somalia's economy was in disarray. The authors point out that healthcare facilities and schools were scarce (Bradshaw et al. 2004). In addition, a great deal of the countries infrastructure had been damaged in the insurrections that had taken place over the years (Bradshaw et al. 2004). These factors along with the breeding of terrorists have resulted in a stagnant effort in the globalization of Somalia (Bradshaw et al. 2004).

Globalization arguably began even before Marco Polo’s expeditions, possibly being traceable to Alexander the Great’s establishment of overland routes between Eastern Europe and India. The assumption that globalization equals Americanization is profoundly arrogant, and is also ignorant of the history, meaning, and implications of globalization. Globalization implies integration and interdependence of the world. Predating the United States of America, globalization nevertheless reached a peak in the 20th century, when a
That said, Goodhart believes that global governance, if pushed too far into sovereign nations' doings, can in fact undermine popular sovereignty as "a viable conception of democracy" but it is not doing that and in fact, in a globalized world that is increasingly interdependence needs a new kind of democracy. The new sovereigntists' views are normative while Goodhart's are more along the lines o positivism. Basically, Goodhart argues that
Globalization has become a ubiquitously word in the last few decades. Much of the globalization trend is driven by the fact that many organizations operate internationally and supply chains have become sophisticated, complex, and spans the entire globe.
