My statement will be based on some of the globalization theses presented by Mr. Graham Watson. As stated, globalization has different dimensions – it can be manifested in different directions: in the economy, environment, culture, social development, and politics. Cases of globalization can easily be found in the daily press: the agglomeration of financial markets, the transnational integrated production, transnational enterprises, or the global problems of warming, the ozone hole, the cutting down of tropical forests.
What I want to draw your attention to is that politics permeates all these aspects. I would even say that politics is continuously related to it. On one hand, it is directly affected by all changes in the globalizing world, and on the other, politics overlaps all of them, as it is the major tool of regulating social and political relations. To quote just  one example: scientists can study the essence of the ozone hole phenomenon, its causes and its effect on life on Earth. Had not such problem existed, politicians need not have been working on it. The latter are the people who can combine the efforts of states and channel them for solving the problem by drafting and coordinating a unified policy.
The mechanisms of ongoing global processes are still not clear. Their dynamics is difficult to follow. Many of their effects are negative, some are not clear yet. This poses great challenges not only to scientists. In this situation, particularly challenged are politics and politicians. The latter should not only get acquainted with and understand the essence of changes, but should also analyze them and make generalizations in order to outline directions of impact and development, i.e., to make politics.
