COURSE OBJECTIVES The course aims to help students understand the causal relationship between globalisation and conflict, and how fair and inclusive globalisation can engender peace and economic development. Globalisation is the comprehensive term for the emergence of a global society in which economic, political, environmental, and cultural events in one part of the world quickly come to have significance impact on people in other parts of the world. Globalisation tells us about the growing economic, political, technological, and cultural connections that connect individuals, communities, businesses, and governments around the world. Globalisation also involves the growth of multinational corporations that have investments and operations in many countries and global marketplace. The international institutions that oversee world trade and finance, such as World Trade Organisation (WTO) play an increasingly important role in this era of globalisation. On successful completion of this course you should be able to: • define the concepts of globalisation and peace • explain the various concepts and dimensions of globalisation • describe how globalisation has promoted trade, broader communication among people and how it has vigorously engineered conflict across the world etc. • discuss the positive impact globalisation has brought in sharing knowledge, technology, investments, resources, and ethical values • analyse what institutions, governments and development partners can do to promote globalisation for peace • explain case studies and experiences that can promote globalisation and peace by examining the ECOWAS and African Union’s (AU) models • identify skills in globalisation and Peace-building strategies. iv PCR 422 COURSE GUIDE WORKING THROUGH THIS COURSE To complete this course, you are required to read the study units and other related materials.

  • Federalism and Global Governance
    CADMUS, Volume I, No. 5, October 2012, 135-144 Federalism and Global Governance John Scales Avery, Fellow, World Academy of Art and Science; University of Copenhagen, Denmark Abstract It is becoming increasingly clear that the concept of the absolutely sovereign nation-state is a dangerous anachronism in a world of thermonuclear weapons, instantaneous communication, and economic interdependence. Probably our best hope for the future lies in developing the United Nations into a World Federation. The strengthened United Nations should have a legislature with the power to make laws that are binding on individuals, and the ability to arrest and try individual political leaders for violations of these laws. The world federation should also have the power of taxation, and the military and legal powers necessary to guarantee the human rights of ethnic minorities within nations. 1. Making the United Nations into a Federation A federation of states is, by definition, a limited union where the federal government has the power to make laws that are binding on individuals, but where the laws are confined to interstate matters, and where all powers not expressly delegated to the federal government are retained by the individual states. In other words, in a federation each of the member states runs its own internal affairs according to its own laws and customs; but in certain agreed-on matters, where the interests of the states overlap, authority is specifically delegated to the federal government. Since the federal structure seems well suited to a world government with limited and carefully-defined powers that would preserve as much local autonomy as possible, it is wor- thwhile to look at the histories of a few of the federations.

    1701 K STREET, N.W., SUITE 950 • WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006 • PHONE: 202.331.1616 • WWW.BRETTONWOODS.ORG September 6, 2019 The Honorable James E. Risch The Honorable Bob Menendez Chairman Ranking Member Committee on Foreign Relations Committee on Foreign Relations United States Senate United States Senate Dear Senator Risch and Senator Menendez: We write to ask that you support both the authorization and appropriations for the general capital increase (GCI) for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank Group. As you know, the World Bank Group’s shareholders endorsed an ambitious package of measures for the capital increase in 2018. It includes internal reforms and a set of policy measures that greatly strengthens the institution’s ability to scale up resources and deliver on its mission of fighting global poverty. It was developed in response to an increasingly complex development landscape and to confront emerging challenges to the global economy which will require a coordinated and sustained effort. The Bank has also developed, for the first time, a comprehensive strategy to address fragility, conflict and violence in countries where assistance is needed the most. It is important that the United States supports this effort because it: • Promotes National Security Interests World Bank support to countries where poverty and disease can breed political instability and foster extremism is vital to U.S. national security interests. World Bank projects promote stability in weak states and help mitigate cross-border problems – such as the Ebola outbreak and refugee crises – which precipitates positive spillover effects on national, regional, and global security fostering a safer world for all Americans.

  • Offshore Energy Geopolitics: an Examination of Emerging Risks to Future Oil and Gas Activities in Hotspot Maritime Regions
    OFFSHORE ENERGY GEOPOLITICS: AN EXAMINATION OF EMERGING RISKS TO FUTURE OIL AND GAS ACTIVITIES IN HOTSPOT MARITIME REGIONS by Erik Fagley A thesis submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for degree of Master of Arts in Global Security Studies Baltimore, Maryland May 2014 © 2014 Erik Fagley All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT As the world’s conventional oil and gas fields decline, the oil and gas industry seeks to exploit new sources of energy to satisfy demand and promote economic growth. The most promising geographical regions left to explore are offshore waters that contain a substantial reserve base that contain decades of supply. Although offshore development is not new, certain regions slated for production are vulnerable to a wide-array of risks that might derail future activity. The examination of these risks is a timely study given its relevance to energy security and the ever-increasing vulnerabilities in maritime regions. To better explain the offshore energy geopolitical landscape, this thesis explores three regions – the South China Sea, Arctic, and the Gulf of Guinea. Each region typifies political, legal, economic and environmental risks associated with offshore development; however, each region is faced with markedly different risks to future operations. Whether this includes territorial disputes between claimants over control of seabed resources in the South China Sea, the absence of an effective framework to govern and regulate offshore activities in the Arctic, or the emergence of oil theft and maritime piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, each chapter highlights the importance of addressing these risks. In response, the thesis provides mitigating strategies and policy recommendations to alleviate tensions, resolve gaps in governance and regulation and combat maritime piracy.

  • Newsmax Funding World Bank Should Be Congressional Priority
    8/3/2017 PrintTemplate Newsmax Funding World Bank Should be Congressional Priority Thursday, August 3, 2017 10:32 AM By: Francesco Stipo In September of this year, the U.S. Congress will vote on a foreign operations budget, including funding for the International Development Association (IDA), an international financial institution offering loans and grants to the world’s poorest countries. It is part of the World Bank Group. In 2016, the U.S. pledged $3.871 billion for the 3-year IDA budget. This year the U.S. House of Representatives has proposed to cut the funds to IDA by 50 percent for the year 2018. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are important pillars of international development and financial stability. World Bank funding fosters American global leadership. As the largest shareholder of the World Bank, the U.S. is the only country possessing veto power, thus assuring a strong influence in its decisions. Traditionally, the president of the World Bank has always been a U.S. citizen (the current president, Jim Yong Kim, is Korean-American). Since he became president of the World Bank, Jim Yong Kim has taken new initiatives to modernize the organization. In 2014, he launched the Global Infrastructure Facility (GIF), a public-private partnership combining private capital and public expertise to foster international development. GIF reflects the increasing importance of the private sector in financing projects of public relevance. In 2010 the IMF initiated a reform, backed by current Managing Director Christine Lagarde, which was approved by Congress in 2015. The IMF reform increased the quotas of emerging economies while preserving American de facto veto power.

  • The Future of the Pacific and Its Relevance for Geo-Economic Interests
    World Academy of Art & Science Eruditio, Issue 3, September 2013 The Future of the Pacific Francesco Stipo et al ERUDITIO, Volume I, Issue 3, September 2013, 42-53 The Future of the Pacific and its Relevance for Geo-economic Interests Francesco Stipo, Fellow, World Academy of Art & Science; Chair, Legal Political Committee, US Association, Club of Rome Anitra Thorhaug, Chair, Energy & Resources Committee; US Association, Club of Rome Marian Simion, Chair, Health and Religion Committee; US Association, Club of Rome Keith Butler, Roberta Gibbs, Ryan Jackson, Andrew Oerke, Lockey White* Abstract The Report forecasts that free trade initiatives in the Pacific will become polarized between the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. The Report identifies two factors that will slow Chinese economic growth and reduce U.S.-China bilateral trade in the next 30 years: the development of additive manufacturing and the increase of Chinese cost of labor. In the next 30 years there will be a redistribution of global energy demand that will change the global political scenario: the discovery of large quantities of oil and natural gas in North America will reduce foreign energy demand in the United States and increase the availability of energy to cover Chinese demand. The short-term consequences will be reduction of com- petition between the US and China for sources of energy, increase of Chinese reliance on Middle Eastern and Latin American oil and growing Japanese imports of liquefied natural gas from the United States. This scenario will change when renewable energy will become more cost effective and will replace oil and natural gas as the main source of energy.
