Abstract
The emerging process of globalization, which itself is shaped by unprecedented alterations in universal communications and information-based transformations that are experiencing immense growth, have transformed communal human life. No consensus on the concept of globalization has been reached nearly three decades since the start of the process of globalization. Adherents to differing schools of thought have not been able to define the process of globalization from the local and global vantage points. Some overemphasize the harmonization trait of globalization to envisage realization of a fictional globe inline with their political wishes; others are stuck in small local spheres resisting/denying globalization. Defining and in depth elaborations on the local-global discourse in international trends and new features in locals (urban-rural) relations in domestic realm would result in a theoretical framework that will better capture the geographic complexity of our world.
