Your link explains it, isn't it?

"Globalization is the process of designing and developing a software product that functions in multiple cultures/locales."

"Localization is the process of adapting a globalized application, which you have already processed for localizability, to a particular culture/locale."

And GlobalResources and LocalResources is a different concept. LocalResources folder contains resources which apply for one page or user control only. While resources in GlobalResources are accessible in the whole application. Refer to this MSDN article
