  The aim of the present study is to provide a picture for geopolitical
globalization: the role of all world countries together with their contribution
towards globalization is highlighted. In the context of the present study,
every country owes its efficiency and therefore its contribution towards
structuring the world by the position it holds in a complex global network. The
location in which a country is positioned on the network is shown to provide a
measure of its "contribution" and "importance". As a matter of fact, the visa
status conditions between countries reflect their contribution towards
geopolitical globalization. Based on the visa status of all countries,
community detection reveals the existence of 4+1 main communities. The
community constituted by the developed countries has the highest clustering
coefficient equal to 0.9. In contrast, the community constituted by the old
eastern European blocks, the middle eastern countries, and the old Soviet Union
has the lowest clustering coefficient approximately equal to 0.65. PR China is
the exceptional case. Thus, the picture of the globe issued in this study
contributes towards understanding "how the world works".
