The term "globalization" refers to the process in which people, governments and companies of different countries interact and integrate with each other through various processes such as trade, investment and information technology. Globalization has had an extremely large impact on the modern world and how most countries are operated today. Interaction between different countries, introducing different cultures into more countries and increasing the global connectivity has definitely resulted in great beneficial change to the world, however it can also has some detrimental effects as well. There is not clear-cut answer to whether globalization is a positive or negative process, globalization has brought about military, cultural and economic changes to the modern world, we can explore the advantages and disadvantages by looking particularly at the military alliances that countries have with each other, the introduction to foreign cultures into other countries and the efficiency of financial interdependence on other organizations or countries. .
Prior to globalization, governments and politicians only had to scrutinize the security and military of their own country, however with the growth of globalization the borders between nations becoming more indistinct and countries now have to manage things on a greater global scale. With the relations that each country is making with one another consequently comes the military alliance between countries in which they can be both advantageous and detrimental. .
Alliances create many secure bonds between countries; these bonds have come to great convenience in many ways especially in terms of military duty. When a country is in an alliance with another it can provide them with mutual protection, sharing of resources and strength in political power. A conquering power could think twice about attacking your country if you have military alliances with strong countries as they will protect you and aid you with the relevant aid you are in need of.
