Economics?

The core of global politics is communication between governing bodies. In the information age access to information must be immediate. When nations cannot quickly send and recieve information, it becomes impossible to maintain a global community. Lack of communication between nations, states, or governments results in conflict and tension. But what makes communication necessary in the first place? First and foremost, commerce. For any nation or state to grow it must have wealth. A nation can only do so much with its own resources. In order to expand, nations must trade with one another. If a nation is isolated from the global community, it will only wither and die. Economics fosters a need for global politics. Communication becomes the most important aspect of world politics, because it allows global trade.
