Study Notes
Structures of Globalization
- Various structures exist to understand globalization, each offering unique perspectives.
- Topics are organized into modules for study, particularly focusing on economic, cultural, and political globalization.
Economic Globalization
- Defined as the increasing interconnectivity of national economies with regional (e.g., ASEAN) and global economies.
- Factors that facilitate economic globalization include key actors and elements that drive this integration, with a focus on five main factors.
- Global economic integration emphasizes interdependence among countries for economic survival, illustrated through trade requirements, such as the Philippines relying on ASEAN for essential goods like rice and onions.
Tariff Reduction and Its Impact
- Economic integration often leads to a reduction in tariff rates, which are taxes regulating imports and exports, distinct from domestic income taxes.
- Lower tariffs encourage increased imports from trading partners, resulting in heightened competition for local products.
- Example: Reduced tariffs on rice from Vietnam could threaten Filipino rice producers by providing cheaper alternatives, impacting the local economy.
Global Economic Integration
- Articulating a stance on global economic integration involves assessing its advantages and disadvantages:
- Advantages may include access to a wider range of goods and competitive pricing.
- Disadvantages could arise from increased competition harming local industries.
Role of International Financial Institutions
- Two key institutions in shaping the global economy are the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.
- These institutions play critical roles in providing financial assistance and promoting economic stability on a global scale.
