摘要:Most of the people all over the world claim that globalization is a result of dynamic interactions between
economic, technological, social and political factors. The aim of this paper is to document some stylized
facts on this phenomenon in order to take a further step forward in implementing a multidimensional
framework as an overall assessment of the level of integration of European countries in the international
community. In this connection we implement a k-means Clustering Algorithm to classify 73 countries into
four groups (leaders, potential leaders, dynamic followers and marginalized) by considering a data set of
16 selected variables as indicators of the main dimensions of a sustainable globalization in 2006.
