Globalization, Selected Globalization or De-Globalization in the context of poverty and terrorism? Ethical perspectives

 

1.    Globalization: the characteristics, the roots, the effects

 

1.1  Eight characteristics

the transport technologies
the communication technologies
the financing systems and intergration of financial markets
the political frame (open markets)
the pluralistic value systems
the interdependence and vulnerability
the concentration and decentralization of power
Acceleration and different speeds of development

1.2  The definitions, the beginning and the roots

Definition: Globalisation is the accelerated process of internationalisation and interconnectedness of persons, capital, goods, services, institutions, states, organisations, cultures and values in de-limited space and de-limited time.

Beginning (of the phenomenon or the term?): domination, as old as humanity (Gnana Robinson, India)? Industrial revolution? 1989 (Ernst U. von Weizsäcker).

Roots: see 1.1

1.3  The effects

Decrease of prices

Increase of social and environmental costs

Constructive solidarity (in crises)

Destructive evil (global terror, mafia)

Etc.

2.1 Concepts of economic and political power

2.1.1       Globalization as liberalization and privatisation (neoliberal model)

2.1.2       Globalization as new religion bringing salvation? (Refleksi No 1/2003)

2.1.3       Globalization of terror (terrorist groups) and “terrorism of truth” (Nam Kang)

2.2 Concepts of economic, social and political counter-power

2.2.1 Globalization of resistance (Samir Amin/F. Houtart)

3.8  Partnership

3.9  Trust

3.10                    Power-responsibility

Globalisation is a positive process where and when it is an attempt to understand the world as One humankind and One ecosystem in its interdependence and to implement and strengthen these core values.

Globalisation is a negative process where and when it is an attempt to reduce the diversity and complexity of this world to one economic, political, religious model in which the power is concentrated in the hands of a few and where the core values are violated.

 

4.    Conclusion: Selective Globalization (Stueckelberger)

 

4.1  Sectors and activities for further globalization
