Abstract: | The role of telecommunicative globalization is explored in bridging world political and economic divides. Current approaches define globalization primarily in terms of increased density of network ties between nations, a perspective this paper extends into a more comprehensive framework. Exchange and balance theories are combined into a multitheoretical, multilevel model consisting of hypotheses regarding mutuality, transivity and cyclicality of telephonic flows between nations that differed in economic and democratic attributes in 1989 and 1999. |
