Abstract

In spite of its frequent use, globalization is an unclear term and there is large consensus on the fact that it is a result of dynamic interactions between different factors which are related to social awareness and to human progress. This paper stems from the need to take a further step forward in the construction of a multidimensional framework combining different elementary dimensions of globalization in order to achieve an overall assessment of integration across countries. Starting from a de finition of a sustainable globalization, we implement a k-means Clustering Algorithm to classify 71 countries into three groups by considering a data set of 14 selected variables as indicators of the main dimensions of a sustainable globalization in 2006.
