বাংলা অনুবাদ:
আন্তর্জাতিক সম্পর্কের নতুন যুগে বিশ্বায়ন একটি বহুল আলোচিত শব্দে পরিণত হয়েছে। মূলত, এটি একটি সীমানাহীন বাজার তৈরির মাধ্যমে সারা বিশ্বে ব্যবসা-বাণিজ্যের প্রসারের একটি প্রক্রিয়া। কিন্তু জীবনের অনেক ক্ষেত্রে এর সুদূরপ্রসারী প্রভাব রয়েছে। উচ্চপ্রযুক্তি সম্পন্ন যোগাযোগ মাধ্যম এবং দ্রুত পরিবহন সুবিধার উন্নতির ফলে পৃথিবী আরও কাছাকাছি চলে এসেছে। আমরা এখন বিশ্বের দূরতম কোণে কী ঘটছে তা মুহূর্তের মধ্যে জানতে পারি এবং স্বল্পতম সময়ে যেকোনো দেশে ভ্রমণ করতে পারি। বিশ্বের দেশগুলো একটি গ্রামের পরিবারের মতো। তারা এমনকি প্রতিবেশী প্রতিবেশীর মতো তাদের সুখ-দুঃখ ভাগ করে নিতে পারে। যদি একটি দেশ কষ্টে থাকে তবে অন্যরা অবিলম্বে তার সাহায্যে এগিয়ে আসতে পারে। আমরা যদি এই বিশ্বায়ন প্রক্রিয়ার মাধ্যমে পারস্পরিক বোঝাপড়া এবং সহযোগিতার পরিবেশ গড়ে তুলতে পারি, তবে আমাদের পৃথিবী অবশ্যই বসবাসের জন্য আরও ভালো জায়গা হতে পারে।
