1. Article Title: Briefing Paper: Globalization Article Author: Matthew Krain Article Date: 2005? Thesis Statement: ? Globalization is a process that results in the growing interconnectedness of the world? Globalization is a process that is bringing the world closer in areas of economics, politics, and culture.
