Study Notes
Economic Globalization
- Increasing interconnectedness and flows of people, goods, money, and information across borders.
- Increasing interdependence and integration of national economies (trade, investment, capital flows, labor).
- Growth of multinational corporations and expansion of international trade.
- Trade liberalization (reduction of tariffs and barriers) increases international trade.
- Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) optimizes production networks and creates jobs.
- Promotes cultural exchange but can also lead to economic inequality and cultural homogenization.
- States manage economic globalization to advance national interests, leading to competition rather than cooperation.
Global Governance
- Systems for managing global affairs in the absence of a world government.
- Involves cooperation through non-state actors (NGOs), international organizations (UN, WTO, EU, ASEAN), and establishes norms and rules for multilateral cooperation on global issues like trade, climate change.
- Can lead to sovereignty concerns and conflicts of national interests.
- Lack of formal enforcement mechanisms for guidelines.
International Liberal Order (ILO)
- Characterized by promotion of democracy, human rights, rule of law, and multilateral cooperation.
- Established after World War II with institutions like the Bretton Woods Agreement.
- Security found in norms and expectations enforced by organizations like NATO and the OSCE.
- Contains an economic order promoting trade liberalization.
- "Embedded liberalism" - balancing trade openness with domestic social protection and regulations.
- Faces challenges from rising nationalism, protectionism, and skepticism towards globalization (e.g., Trump administration, Brexit).
- U.S. leadership and hegemony are weakening and influencing states to look at alternative orders.
The Modern State
- Defined territory, bureaucratic administration, permanent population with rights and obligations.
- Recognized by other states as a legitimate sovereign power with supreme authority.
- Monopoly of violence (control over police and military).
- Faces challenges from globalization in terms of sovereignty and national identity.
- Globalization challenges traditional political party systems (mainstream vs. populist/nationalist parties), leading to welfare state retrenchment in some countries.
- States adapt through different approaches: "Compensation thesis" (increased social protection) or "Efficiency thesis" (reduced welfare spending).
- Increasingly bound by international agreements and norms that limit independent action.
Theoretical Perspectives on ILO and International Organizations
- Realism: States prioritize self-interest in an anarchic international system. International organizations are tools for maintaining state power. Limitations in enforcement power and influence. Focus on relative gains vs. absolute. The ILO's order undermines nationalism. Fragmentation = competition between great powers, (e.g., U.S-China, Russia-Ukraine).
- Liberalism/Institutionalism: International organizations facilitate cooperation and interdependence, promoting peace and stability. States focus on absolute gains, and cooperation enhances stability. WTO exemplifies liberalization and cooperation. Liberalism optimistic about international organization commitments.
- Constructivism: International organizations shape identities and interests through socialization and norm creation. International system is a social construct. Shared norms and values crucial for cooperation (e.g., EU and shared European identity, but variations exist). Rise of new powers like China challenges shared values and norms.
Addressing the Climate Crisis
- National State Institutions: Significant capabilities for implementing environmental standards and mobilizing resources; capable of enforcing regulations and promoting green energy but constrained by domestic politics, economic considerations, immediate concerns, and the global nature of the crisis. Developing nations' reliance on fossil fuels highlights this limitation.
- International Organizations: Can create frameworks for collective action, facilitating knowledge sharing and resources. Facing enforcement limitations and sovereignty concerns. Skeptical realism and the prioritization of national interests over collective action. The potentials to achieve cooperation depend on evolving global order. Fragmentation, new power dynamics, and weakening U.S. role influence the ability of international organizations to address the climate crisis collectively.
- Future Implications: Requires balancing national sovereignty with international cooperation. New approaches, potentially involving regional cooperation, and roles for non-state actors, are needed. Citizens must embrace lifestyle changes. A balance between national action and international cooperation. The potential for regional cooperation is becoming increasingly prevalent, and sub-national actors are taking on a leadership role in climate initiatives.
