Globalization is an intensified modern phase of an older colonial world-formation process.

Evidence

Globalisation refers essentially to that stretching process, in so far as the modes of connection between different social contexts or regions become networked across the earth’s surface as a whole. … Globalisation can thus be defined as the intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa. — Anthony Giddens, The Consequences of Modernity, 166 (#expands, via linked claim)

But the political and historical context within which nineteenth-century Orientalism took shape does beg the question: what sort of relationship was there between European colonialism and Orientalism? — Green, Todd H, The Fear of Islam_ An Introduction to…, 201 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
