Where in the world is 'globalised'?

Where in the world is 'globalised'? The first countries that would jump to the mind to answer this question would perhaps be the US, the UK, Japan, France, the list could go on but the simple rule from just these examples would be that globalised countries are, by majority, westernised countires, and by the most part, countries in the northern hemisphere. But I wanted to find a pictoral view of this if there was one; a map to show the degree of globalisation, if indeed globalisation can be ranked or quantified. This indeed proved to be a little more difficult than I anticipated. Perhaps this is because so many people have a different view as to what globalisation is. However, I did find one map which fitted my pre-conceived image and serves it's purpose rather well. Upon my search I came across notes on a conference held at Michigan State University in which the keynote speaker Professor Yong Zhao presented ideas on  ‘How to enhance teaching and learning to meet the challenges of globalisation’. His definition of globalisation was related to the free flow of goods and trade as well as money and people at a global level. The map that he used manipulates the world map to show the number of PCs in use in 2004. So while the map does not exactly fit the question posed in the title of this post, I feel it illustartes rather well the assumptions made at the start of the post.
