Globalization offers a knowledge on one of the important developments of international relations. As a process, globalization involves state and non-state actors notably the MNCs. As a result, globalization makes the interactions between states and markets much more delicate, and that sometimes their good as well as bad relations are at the expense of the society. Recently, international relations has been determined more by the movements of capital, investment, and even the market expansions. The rise of business has also contributed to the decline of nation states. Since new information and all things about globalization are available online, sudents, therefore, are required to perform web activities to acquire as many available data as they can.
