Because the world today is less interconnected economically, politically, and culturally than it was between 1870 and 1914.Since most international economic and political interactions occur mainly among OECD countries.Because globalization is viewed as a self-serving narrative that upholds Western, especially US, dominance in global affairs.All of the above reasons combined.

Explanation

Skeptics argue that globalization is overstated for several reasons: historically, the world was more integrated between 1870 and 1914; economic and political activities are largely confined to OECD nations; and globalization serves as an ideology that perpetuates Western, particularly American, dominance. Therefore, all these points contribute to their dismissal of globalization's significance.
