Globalization : A Dynamic Shift

We live in a time of worldwide change. What happens in one part of the world impacts people on the other side of the world. People around the world are influenced by common developments.

‘Globalization: What’s new? What’s not? (And so what)’, portrays the speed in which globalism has increased through many different factors; economically, military, environmentally and socially. This is an idealist analytic approach, not set in stone. This leads on to

Diversification and globalization are important to the wellbeing and financial stability of any country. These traits are valuable to both individual and group strengths. Understanding these modules can affect the way people or corporations manage their business affairs. To understand the importance of both diversification and globalization we must first understand their individual importance. Let’s first look at diversification.

The Book Globalization: A way short Introduction by Manfred B. Steger was a great book. Out of all the books I have to read for classes and etc. this one was one of the best reads. I learned so many things that I never have thought about in globalization. Generally people just know it as spreading one’s ideals into the world. But after reading this book I was able to really learn about the effects and consequences of the globalization. I also learned that globalization really affects everyone around the world pretty heavily. There were many new and important Ideas I learned from this book, but there were also some that I did agree on.

With the growing demand for professionals, countries and industries around the world have broaden their usual scope of search from within their own boundaries to across their borders looking for cheaper yet more capable men and women. In Thomas Friedman’s article, Globalization: The Super-Story, he defines globalization as the inexorable integration of markets, transportation systems, and communication systems to a degree never witnessed before. In simple terms, globalization is the process of international mingle that comes from the interchange of world views. Friedman is one of the key protagonists of the concept of globalization and defines this new system with a series of key words and three balances which make up the globalization system. Friedman 's three balance can be seen today and will be seen until a new system is adopted.

With the progression of globalization, commodities can be transferred to all over the world. That people from different countries can purchase the same products is no longer a dream, that also lead to the similarity between countries. Personally, I strongly believe that the development brings more negative influence to local communities than the positive ones.

There is controversy over when globalization began because there is no crystal clear start to globalization. Some people believe that globalization started when the Buddhist leader Chandragupta combined aspects of trade, religion, and military to create a protected trading area. Others believe that globalization began under Genghis Khan’s rule. The Mongolian warrior-ruler created an empire that had trade integrated into it. There are also some experts that believe that the rise of globalization was linked to 1492, the year Christopher Columbus made his first trip to the New World.

In today’s global society, it has become difficult to find someone that has not been impacted in any way by Globalization. Some societies will be more or less affected but we cannot deny the idea that Globalization impacts everyone, which resulted in a large number of economists and philosophers writing their own opinion and theories on the subject. Based on this idea, I came up with the following question: What drives a company to globalise and what are the implications? I will tackle the question in this essay by first defining what globalization is, explain why companies become global and what are the implications of globalization on different social classes. My arguments will be backed up with evidence from the following authors: Adam Smith, Branko Milanovic and Harry Braverman. It is difficult to come up with an exact definition of Globalization; however, we could define it as the idea of trying to make the world communities become one by integrating world economies. This ongoing process that contributes in making the world look “smaller” by merging economies, societies and cultures to improve global communication and trade has not only economical impacts but also social and cultural.

In this paper you will understand the shift of the development to the globalization project. In doing so you will learn what “globalization” means as a project and as a process and why it is described as being in crisis. Next you will learn about the financial and farming dimensions of the problems confronting the globalization project. With that you will thirdly learn about how global warming presents multiple challenges to globalization. I will also discuss the emergent “sustainability project”, with particular attention to agricultural, “green technology” and environmental movements. Lastly I will analyze how terrorism and the emergence of Trumpismo complicates all of this.

The dubious nature and influence of globalization is profound within the International Political Economy (IPE). Globalization is used in reference to three distinct sets of forces in the world economy. Internationalization encapsulates the upsurge in economic transactions across borders which has been occurring since the turn of the century but which some contend has experienced a quantifiable spike in recent decades. Technological revolution, a second facet of globalization describes the way modern communications made possible by technological advancement have made location and distance less important aspects, not just for government at the local and regional levels but in the quantification of modern-day communications which enables firms and other actors to operate globally with less regard for position, distance, and borders. The liberalization theory describes the policies undertaken by states which have engendered a new global economy. Both rules and institutions are created by powerful states in sustaining a new scale of transnational economic activity in certain sectors of the world economy. This also comprises the policies of smaller and less influential states in the system who through liberalization, investment, production, or trade have integrated into the fabric of the world economy. In International Political Economy, different competing claims are made about globalization. For instance, some scholars claim that globalization is nothing new, others argue that

Industries reach all around the world for their business, going by the name of globalization. Not only does it affect their companies, but outside there are communities that are deeply affected by globalization. Globalization has made a big impact around the world that most countries depend success on business around the world. Although there are the benefits from globalization communities in third world countries are still trying to catch up on development. Globalization is furthering the gap between a growing community by pushing the loose pay rates, the safety of workers, the child labor laws, and the environment. With these consequences as a developed community should help third world countries struggling to incorporate globalization in their community.

Globalization occurs in three forms: political globalization, cultural globalization, and economic globalization. All forms work together to expand relationships and create a single place. On its own Economic globalization is a way for economic relations to extend and integrate across the world. Economic globalization and its policies as well as, the ideology of neoliberalism have a way of creating an inequality between countries and creates an endless debt cycle. International economic organizations have caused long-term effects due to the harsh conditions these organizations impose. A prime example of this effect can be seen in countries such as Jamaica. It is important to understand neoliberal policies and economic organizations in order to understand how debt still plays a role in today’s globalized economy.

It is usual today to hear of economic globalization referred to as an immensely valuable and modern process. The implication is that, as nations more fully engage in interactive trade and financial cooperation, benefits accrue to virtually all as the markets inevitably expand. Importantly connected to such a viewpoint is the perception that the expansion of the global economy must produce desirable results for those nations in various stages of development; in plain terms, the interaction on the global scale must both infuse such countries with capital and significantly promote the internal growth necessary for them to engage more fully in the international currents of finance. To some extent, there is validity to this; global integration does encourage accelerated development, and particularly in regard to trade. At the same time, there is as yet no conclusive evidence that the integration of developing countries into the global economy uniformly produces benefits for those countries. The research thus far indicates that individual national variables, as will be discussed, are critical factors, and that trade openness may be more advantageous than financial openness (Presad et al 8). As the following will investigate and affirm, the unique characters of developing nations themselves potently affect how integration into international markets goes to their further development. Ultimately, while such integration is seen to yield important benefits to the countries

Economic globalization has become the most important feature and a general trend of present world economic development. Globalization is a phenomenon and also a process of development of mankind and human society (Hamilton, 2008). It is the essential feature of the modern age. Globalization is the cross-border flows of capital and goods, including capital, labour, technology and natural resources (Bożyk, Misala & Puławski, 2002). Economic globalization is a historical process, and the germination of it could date back to the 16th century. After the industrial revolution, capitalist commodity economy, modern industry and transportation have been developing rapidly. The world market was fast expanded and the foreign trade was
