  • Towards Democratic Globalization: to WTO Or Not to WTO?
    Towards Democratic Globalization: To WTO or not to WTO? Jan Nederveen Pieterse No one is calling for an end to trade or trade rules. But what will those rules be, and who will write them? (Lori Wallach, 2004: 71) In his paper on ‘Economic globalization and institutions of global governance’, Keith Griffin (2003) adopts a welcome forward-looking focus. Griffin is committed to symmetric and democratic globalization and presents policies towards implementing this; I will comment on his argument and then focus on the WTO. According to Griffin, ‘greater globalization, not less, is desirable’ (2003: 793). Here the question is of course what kind of globalization or on what terms? In welcoming ‘greater liberalization, not less’ (ibid.: 792) Griffin is on a similar track as Paul Krugman, Jagdish Bhagwati, Megnad Desai and others. In basic terms this is an obvious case. Developing countries lose about US$ 100 billion a year due to export subsidies and trade barriers in developed countries. Tariff barriers against manufactured goods from the developing world are, on average, four times higher than those against products from the industrialized world and the poorest nations face higher tariffs than less poor nations (Oxfam, 2002; World Bank, 2002). ‘Trade not aid’ has long been the guiding motto. But obvious as the case may be, the question again is not ‘trade or liberalization, or not’, but ‘trade and liberalization on what terms?’. Griffin objects to trends towards protectionism, in particular restrictions on the movement of unskilled labour and the regime of intellectual property rights, and proposes ‘to create a rule-based system of global economic govern- ance as it applies to international trade’ (ibid.: 797).

  • The Hyperglobalization of Trade and Its Future
    Working Paper Series WP 13-6 JULY 2013 The Hyperglobalization of Trade and Its Future Arvind Subramanian and Martin Kessler Abstract Th is paper describes seven salient features of trade integration in the 21st century: Trade integration has been more rapid than ever (hyperglobalization); it is dematerialized, with the growing importance of services trade; it is democratic, because openness has been embraced widely; it is criss-crossing because similar goods and investment fl ows now go from South to North as well as the reverse; it has witnessed the emergence of a mega-trader (China), the fi rst since Imperial Britain; it has involved the proliferation of regional and preferential trade agreements and is on the cusp of mega-region- alism as the world's largest traders pursue such agreements with each other; and it is impeded by the continued existence of high barriers to trade in services. Going forward, the trading system will have to tackle three fundamental challenges: In developed countries, the domestic support for globalization needs to be sustained in the face of economic weakness and the reduced ability to maintain social insurance mechanisms. Second, China has become the world’s largest trader and a major benefi ciary of the current rules of the game. It will be called upon to shoulder more of the responsibilities of maintaining an open system. Th e third challenge will be to prevent the rise of mega-regionalism from leading to discrimi- nation and becoming a source of trade confl icts. We suggest a way forward—including new areas of cooperation such as taxes—to maintain the open multilateral trading system and ensure that it benefi ts all countries.

Therefore, it is vital to reassess university vision and mission of teaching, researching, and community service, especially in the face of a more democratic globalization era sustained with science and technological development. Government, universities, and other research institutions, together with industrial sector, are highly potential to form a synergistic triangle to jointly handle internalization transfer and strategic technological development to enhance productivity and national competitiveness sustainably. Autonomy is a right or authority provided by the authorized party or government, while academic freedom is a kind of freedom owned by academicians in performing their duty and their functional activity, namely education and scientific research. The development of University accountability is meant to make the best use of university resources for activities sustaining the stated goals. Keywords: Education, University, Globalization, Quality Improvement Academic Discipline And Sub-Disciplines Management education SUBJECT CLASSIFICATION Management TYPE (METHOD/APPROACH) Literary Analysis; Survey/Interview INTRODUCTION Every citizen is entitled with the right to obtain a decent education equally with excellence and equity between access and achievement.

Introduction: Global citizenship as negotiated practices ‘Global citizenship’ has emerged as the locus of struggles on the ground and of refl ection and contestation in theory.1 Th is is scarcely surprising. Many of the central and most enduring struggles in the history of politics have taken place in and over the language of citizenship and the activities and institutions into which it is woven. One could say that the hopes and dreams and fears and xenophobia of centuries of individual and collective political actors are expressed in the overlapping and confl icting histories of the uses of the language of citizenship, the forms of life in which they have been employed and the locales in which they take place. Th is motley ensemble of contested languages, activities and institutions constitutes the inherited fi eld of citizenship today.2 1 For an introduction to this broad fi eld see H. Anheier, M.

  • Economic Globalization and Strategic Peacebuilding Jackie Smith PUBLISHED: 2009 “Globalization and Strategic Peacebuilding” Pp
    Chapter Ten: Economic Globalization and Strategic Peacebuilding Jackie Smith PUBLISHED: 2009 “Globalization and Strategic Peacebuilding” Pp. 247-269 in Daniel Philpott and Gerard Powers, editors. Strategies of Peace. New York: Oxford University Press. In numerous countries where peace agreements have held without a relapse into conflict beyond the critical period, the structural factors lying at the source of the original conflict remain unaddressed and continue to fester. From Cambodia and Guatemala to East Timor, serious issues related to land tenure, property rights, rule of law, political participation and transitional justice continue to pose serious challenges to peace consolidation and peacebuilding.1 The post-Cold War era has been marked by a proliferation of persistent intra-state conflicts, many of which have frustrated international attempts to promote peaceful conflict resolution and the emergence of more peaceful societies. By many measures, international peacebuilding operations have achieved only mixed success or have simply failed, and nearly half of all “post-conflict” countries see a return of violent struggle.2 This chapter argues that an important reason for the failure of multilateral peacebuilding interventions is that these initiatives incorporate a set of assumptions about the benefits of market liberalization that are inaccurate. More effective intervention to end violent conflicts requires efforts to better understand how economic globalization impacts the dynamics of civil wars. Contemporary violent conflicts are not purely localized phenomena but rather they are deeply embedded within a global context of complex political and economic relationships. Strategic peacebuilding cannot occur without greater attention to these relationships and how they reproduce power and inequality in the global political and economic systems.

  • Globalization and Global Governance: Four Paradigmatic Views
    6 Globalization and Global Governance: Four Paradigmatic Views Kavous Ardalan Marist College Abstract Any adequate analysis of global governance necessarily requires fundamental understanding of the worldviews underlying the views expressed with respect to the nature and role of global governance. This paper starts with the premise that any worldview can be associated with one of the four basic paradigms: functionalist, interpretive, radical humanist, and radical structuralist. It argues that any view expressed with respect to global governance is based on one of the four paradigms or worldviews. It, therefore, discusses four views expressed with respect to the nature and role of global governance. The paper emphasizes that the four views expressed are equally scientific and informative; they look at the nature and role of global governance from a certain paradigmatic viewpoint. Emphasizing this example in the area of global governance, the paper concludes that there are opportunities for each paradigm to benefit from contributions coming from the other three paradigms if they respect paradigm diversity. Keywords: global governance, functionalist, interpretive, radical humanist, radical structuralist JEL Classification Codes: B40, F02 I. INTRODUCTION An analysis of global governance necessarily requires a fundamental understanding of worldviews underlying views expressed with respect to the nature and role of global governance. Four general views, corresponding to four broad worldviews, are discussed. These four views are equally scientific and informative; each looks at the nature of global governance and its role from a certain paradigmatic viewpoint. The paper takes the case of global governance as an example and emphasizes that, in general, any phenomenon may be seen and analyzed from different viewpoints and that each viewpoint exposes a certain aspect of the phenomenon under consideration.

  • Downloaded from Manchesterhive.Com at 09/28/2021 12:11:11AM Via Free Access 2 John Dewey Rise of Communications Technology Such As the Internet
    Introduction: Retrieving a ‘Global’ American Philosopher There are two requests I should like to make to readers of the volume, not to forestall criticism but that it may be rendered, perhaps, more pertinent. Three lectures do not permit one to say all he thinks, nor even all that he believes that he knows. Omission of topics and themes does not, accordingly, signify that I should have passed them by in a more extended treatment. I particularly regret the enforced omission of reference to the relation of liberalism to international affairs. I should also like to remind readers that not everything can be said in the same breath and that it is necessary to stress first one aspect and then another of the general subject. So I hope that what is said will be taken as a whole and also in comparison and contrast with alternative methods of social action. (LW11: 4)1 It might seem rather bizarre to claim that a return to the work of John Dewey can offer a greater appreciation of globalization and global democracy at the start of the twenty-first century. Dewey appears to be a creature of a wholly different epoch; born in 1859, the year Darwin published Origin of the Species and just short of eighteen months before the Battle of Fort Sumter, Dewey’s life would end only some six years after the beginning of the ‘Cold War’. To read his body of work is therefore to enter a world that does not include bearing witness to some of the most momentous events of American and world history in the twentieth century.

  • Democracy's Third
    1 CAN DEMOCRACY SURVIVE INTERDEPENDENCE? Benjamin R. Barber (A WORKING PAPER FOR THE CIVWORLD GLOBAL DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE WORKSHOP, ADAPTED FROM A BOOK PROPOSAL) Democracy today is challenged, radically, deeply, fatefully. Born and cultivated in the ancient world as the face-to-face participatory township, and successfully re- imagined in the early modern world as the representative nation-state, it must now adapt to a global, networked, interdependent world. Or likely perish. To survive actually, it must find ways to establish itself virtually. To preserve its local vitality, it must achieve a global compass. Democracy has always been plural, a congeries of distinctive systems and varied approaches to self-government with a deep common commitment to some degree of equality and liberty, if often in the name of a citizenry comprising something less than the entire adult population. It had its roots in the Hellenic and Roman West, but also found resonance beyond. That women and men can participate in governing themselves is not just a Western conceit. Yet there is no precedent in any democratic system, neither in the participatory polis nor in the representative sovereign state, for planetary self- government, and just to recall how difficult and varied the journey from township to nation has been is to judge global governance an unlikely prospect. After all, democracy within nation-states is troubled enough. The few and paltry examples of regional or international governance we have, such as the United Nations system or the Bretton Woods complex of international financial institutions, or the experiment in pooled 1 sovereignty of the European Community -- now imperiled by a Euro crisis and a lack of solidarity -- offer as many reasons to doubt as to embrace the possibilities of democracy‘s survival.

  • Globalization Revisited Imran Naseem 
    Globalization Revisited Imran Naseem Abstract: Globalization is viewed as a centuries-long process, tracking the expansion of human population and the growth of civilization, which has accelerated dramatically in the past 50 years. The verb globalize was first attested by the Merriam Webster Dictionary in 1944, however its concepts permeated popular consciousness in late 1990s. While Pro-globalists point to the decrease in poverty and child mortality, increased trade, social and political libreties, increased life expectancy, and increased feminism, notwithstanding the notion of free trade, the anti globalists point to the highly unequal distribution of wealth, many critics, specially, in developing countries also see UN, WB and IMF as the exploitative tools in the hands of major powers. Many critics of globalization contend that it is another name of Westernization. The environmental section of the anti globalists point to the damage to the planet brought by it. The critics of globalization typically emphasize that it is a process that is mediated according to corporate interests, to them free trade is not fair trade; it benefits strong nations at the expense of weaker ones. However, anti globalists mainly object to the process of globalization and its biased nature rather than the globalization itself. Hence the disagreement is about the fairness of globalization process rather than the entity itself. One may feel inclined to believe that the real issue at stake is the demand for distributive justice. If justice is not ensured, it would threaten the system in the long-term. Globalization is a complicated phenomenon fraught with far-reaching effects and consequences.

The process of the globalization in the modern world is ambiguous, controversial and complicated, having raised a lot of problems and conflicts of economic, socio-cultural, spiritual, confessional, demographic, moral character, etc. The globalization has turned out to be a catalyst for socio-political, socio-cultural tensions and conflict.
