Globalization
But policy and technological developments of the past few decades have
spurred increases in cross-border trade, investment, and migration so large that
many observers believe the world has entered a qualitatively new phase in its
economic development. Since 1950, for example, the volume of world trade has
increased by 20 times, and from just 1997 to 1999 flows of foreign investment nearly
doubled, from $468 billion to $827 billion. Distinguishing this current wave of
globalization from earlier ones, author Thomas Friedman has said that today
globalization is “farther, faster, cheaper, and deeper.”
This current wave of globalization has been driven by policies that have
opened economies domestically and internationally. In the years since the Second
World War, and especially during the past two decades, many governments have
adopted free-market economic systems, vastly increasing their own productive
potential and creating myriad new opportunities for international trade and
investment. Governments also have negotiated dramatic reductions in barriers to
commerce and have established international agreements to promote trade in goods,
services, and investment. Taking advantage of new opportunities in foreign markets,
corporations have built foreign factories and established production and marketing
arrangements with foreign partners. A defining feature of globalization, therefore, is
an international industrial and financial business structure.
Defining Globalization
There is no exact and common definition for the term “Globalization.” In fact,
when defining the term, it is necessary to look into the dimension or perspective one
has to highlight. To illustrate the comprehensive definition, here are some the notable
authorities who tried to define the term.
1. Globalization is a social process in which the constraints of geography on social
and cultural arrangements recede and in which people become increasingly aware
that they are receding (Malcom Waters).
2. Globalization is gearing towards global unification, global homogenization and
states’ relation to an economic world –system. This involves the emergence of third
cultures, such as international law, the financial markets and media conglomerates,
as elements which transcend the boundaries of the nation –state. (Mike
Feathersome).
5. Globalization refers to all these processes by which the nations of the world are
conscripted in a single world society – global society. (Martin Albrow)
6. Globalization could be defined as the intensification of the social relations all over
the world, that link such in a manner the far off localities, so as the events which
take place are looked by the angle of similar others, happened to many miles far away
and upside down ( Anthony Giddens)
7. A global technological market transforms the financial world, that of the affairs,
that political and the psychology, making them unrecognizable. (Hans Blommestein)
10. It is assumed that the world economy scores two parallel processes: globalization
and decentralization. As for the former it is said that it consists of
transnationalization up to over nationalizing, especially in the fields of trade,
finances and top technologies. As for the latter, decentralization consists of delivering
by the national government to the local communities of more administrative, social
educational, budgetary functions, and consequently, the role of the national state
will limit to diplomacy, army, and the enactment of the intenal legislation. (World
Bank).
2. It foster local, regional, and national growth in the economy by being bale to access
low-cost goods from other countries, provide employment, and international
collaboration of scientific and technology development.
3. It allows people to understand and adapt cultures, values and beliefs of different
countries.
4. It motivates world leaders to create policies to protect the welfare of the people,
the community, as well as the environment.
1. Economy
Trade
Trade is the interchange of goods and services among the economies various
nations. Exports in international trade continue to increase and the export in
agriculture of developing countries remains unmoved since the middle of the 1980s.
Despite this scenario, jobs have been created, remarkable increase in competition as
well as health, technological and educational developments alleviate poverty through
global trade.
Finance
Foreign Aid
2. Politics
Power is so much wielded in the first world countries wherein they create allies
to other nations. Global politics take roots not in the old-fashioned geopolitical
matters but largely on the social, economic, and ecological issues. “Pollution, drugs,
terrorism, human rights are amongst an increasing number of transnational policy
issues which cut across territorial jurisdictions and existing political alignments.
The second transformation discusses about the death of empires and includes
layers of governance in the political borders. This transformation covers political
internalization and transnationalization, decision making, the progress of regional
and global corporations and establishments, laws in the regions and international
set-ups, multi-layered global governance.
Migration
Migration can be provisional or permanent transfer of residence among
individuals between nations. It is a gateway to find employment, study, or run away
from difficult political circumstances. Migrants can be classified as permanent
immigrants, high- and – low skill workers, asylum applicants, refugees,
undocumented individuals, visa free migrants and students.
When daily life experiences are being diffused into ideas or through things and
while it is shared globally, a phenomenon known as cultural globalization happens.
It is associated with the internet, electronic business, global travel and popular
culture that will fashion uniformity of the human experience.
Cultural globalization is greatly influenced by the United States and other first
world countries with the creation of so many social network sites and various media
channels such as films, television, and many others.
4. Ideas
The most powerful tool that shapes development is ideas being passageway of
transmitting and handling intellectual formulations of transmitting and handing
intellectual formulations in any endeavor that will affect the production of systems,
managerial and structural activities, governance, in the legal arena and the trends
in technology. Intellectual property is one category of ideas that is bound by legal
rights over product of creation or invention.
