networking
'Globalisierung' and 'Vernetzung' both have to do with connections between people, countries, companies, or systems. 'Globalisierung' means the large worldwide process through which the economy, politics, culture, and communication become more and more closely connected. 'Vernetzung' is more general and can also be smaller in scale, for example between computers, teams, or professional contacts. The words can be confused because globalization is often made possible through networking. When it is about the whole world and international dependencies, 'Globalisierung' fits. When it is about specific connections or contacts, 'Vernetzung' is more natural.
