Globalization, a contested concept among major theorists in its definition, chronology and measurement of effects, is almost certainly multidimensional in nature if the perspectives of such theorists are all taken equally taken into consideration. The broad phenomenon of globalization can therefore be examined more closely by separating and analyzing individual dimensions, such as political, economic, cultural and ecological. This approach, while allowing for a more focused examination of the causes and effects of globalization within a single dimension, serves to highlight the interconnectedness of each dimension. The following essay will expose the complex interconnection between the political, economic and cultural dimensions of globalization through the analysis of a contemporary issue, the response to the Northern Territory national emergency (commonly known, and hereafter referred to as the Northern Territory intervention, which includes both the NTNER bill and subsequent legislation). It will be argued that proponents of neoliberalism must be held accountable for the inevitable effects of imposing policies, through political globalization, on the culture of indigenous Australians, while paving the way for economic globalization, given the interconnectedness of the dimensions of globalization, and the practically inseparable nature of its effects.
