LEARNING CONTENT  The Study of Globalization, pp. 1-15 (book available in the OCC Library) Ariola, M. (2018). The Contemporary World. Manila: Unlimited Books Library Services & Publishing Inc. According to Ariola (2018), Globalization is defined as: 1. Increasing interaction of people, states or countries through the growth of the international flow of money, ideas, and culture primarily focused on economic process of integration that has social and cultural aspects. 2. The interconnectedness of people and business across the world resulting to global, cultural, political and economic integration. 3. Ability to move and communicate easily with others all over the world to conduct business. 4. Free movement of goods, services, and people across the world in a seamless and integrated manner. 5. Liberalization of countries of their impact protocols and foreign investment 6. Attracting global capital by opening up their economies to MNCs. Globalization as defined by other Authors  According to Martin Albrow and Elizabeth King, globalization as those processes by which the people of the world are incorporated into a single world society.  Anthony Giddens (The Consequence of Modernity) defined globalization as the intensification of 1 worldwide social relations that connect distant localities where local happenings are shaped by events across miles and vice versa.  Roland Robertson (Professor of Sociology at the University of Aberdeen) described globalization in 1992 as the compression of the world and the intensification of the consciousness of the world as a whole.  Manfred Steger described the process of globalization as the expansion and intensification of social relations and consciousness across the world-time and across the world-space.  Arjun Appadurai posits that globalization occurs on multiple and intersecting dimensions of integration called "scapes" referring to movement of people, culture, goods and software, flow of money and political ideas. Advantages of globalization  Creates jobs not only within the country but as well as export of jobs  Has lowered prices and keeps interest low to fuel economic growth  Has improved access to technology that brings fast innovation to communication and transportation  Results to greater productivity  Spurs productive exchange of culture, ideas and social relationships between peoples Disadvantages of Globalization  Fuels inequality among poor and developing countries where they serve as source of cheap labor, raw materials and destination of finished products  Not all companies adhere to the protocols of social responsibility principle evidenced in compliance to wages and working conditions of their workforce, protection of the environment where they operate their business, among others  Presence of MNCs and market integration in a country affects the growth of the domestic economy and reduced of tariff duties It is expounded by Ariola that it is important to study globalization due to the following reasons:  The greater demand in industry and business, health, engineering and technology to work with people of other nations and cultures  Greater demand of promoting the local business and industry to other countries  The need for countries and states to address global issues of climate change, clean water, clean environment and need for renewable energy.  Make the students aware of the intricacies of globalization, its advantages and disadvantages and how to build on this learning for a model of collaborative and fair global partnership perspective. 2 READINGS  Aldama, P.

(2018). The Contemporary World. Manila: Unlimited Books Library Services & Publishing Inc. Global Economy involves the international exchange of goods and services expressed in monetary units of money, free movement of technology and information. World Economy is refer r ed to the human economic activity within and between nations that include production, consumption, economic management, exchange of financial values and trade of goods and services. Global Economy or Economic Globalization is the interconnectedness of economies through trade and exchange of resources like globalization of production, finance, markets, technology, organizational regimes, corporations and labor. and resources. Structures of Globalization  The Global Economy (Discussion on India: a Case In Point. Show Slides PPT)  Market Integration  Global Interstate System  Global Governance 5 Actors that Facilitate Globalization: The role of the International Financial Institutions (IFIs) play an important role in the Creation of the Global Economy or Economic Globalization. An international financial institution is chartered by more than one country and subjects to international laws.National governments are the usual shareholders or owners, although other international institutions and organizations also are shareholders. The world's largest IFI is the European Investment Bank, with a balance sheet size of Euro573 billion in 2016. (Ariola 2018) The International Financial Institutions (IFIs) are: 1. International Monetary Fund (IMF) 2. Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) which include  World Bank Group  African Development Bank  Asian Development Bank  Inter-American Development Bank  European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Main Objectives 1. IMF provides temporary financial assistance to member countries to help ease the balance of payments adjustments 2. MDBs provide financing for development to developing countries through  Long term loans (with maturities up to 20 years) at interest rates way below market rates  Very long-term loans (sometimes called credits with maturities of 30-40 years) at interest rates below market rates  Grant financing by some MDBs for technical assistance advisory service or project preparation World System deals with inter-regional and transnational division of labor that divides the world into core countries, semi-periphery and periphery countries. Core countries focus on high skill, capital- intensive production, and the rest of the world focuses on low- skill labor- intensive production and extraction of raw materials, reinforcing the dominance of the core countries. This structure is unified by the division of labor. It is a world-economy rooted in a capitalist economy. 6 World System Theory is also known as the wor ld-system analysis or would-systems perspectives. A multidisciplinary, macro-scale approach to world history and social change that emphasizes the world- system (not the nation states) as the primary (but not exclusive) unit of social analysis.

First wave of globalization (19th century-1914) The first wave of globalization (19th century - 1914), the first era of Industrial Revolution, was led by Great Britain who dominated the world thru the establishment of the British Empire, with innovations of steam engine, weaving machine and many more. It was noted according to Keynes that those with the means of capital in New York, Paris, London or Berlin were able to trade internationally with stock companies where a major leap in the field of world investments was the construction of the Suez Canal connecting the Mediterranean with the Indian ocean as well as managed to build railways in India and in African colonies. The first wave of globalization and industrialization had darker moments where most European nations grabbed for a piece of Africa, and 1900 only Ethiopia was left in Africa. However, India, China, Mexico or Japan, previously powers to reckon with, were not either not able or not allowed to adapt to the industrial and global trends. They maybe either restricted by Western powers or outcompeted because of lack of access to capital and technology. Finally, many workers in the industrialized nations also did not benefit from globalization, their work was replaced or deem identical with the availability brought by industrial machinery, or their output undercut by foreign imports. 9 The world wars In 1914, the outbreak of World War I brought an end to the burgeoning high society of the West including globalization. The financial markets caused a breakdown of the global economy leading to the Great Depression in the US. Second and third wave of globalization The end of the World War II marked a new beginning for the global economy under a new hegemon, the United States of America, aided by the technologies of the Second Industrial Revolution, and the flourishing global trade, and due to the Iron Curtain Fall. World trade became profound after the WWII with the European Union and other free trade vehicles championed by the US who were responsible for the increase in international trade. In the Soviet Union, there was a similar increase in trade, albeit through centralized planning rather than the free market. With the Curtain Fall, globalization became an all-conquering force and the creation of World Trade Organization (WTO) encouraged nations all over the world to enter into free-trade agreements, In 2001, even China, which for the better part of the 20th century had been a secluded, agrarian economy, became a member of the WTO, and started to manufacture for the world. US is still in the upper hand of the global trade, setting the tone. At the same time, a new technology from the Third Industrial Revolution, the internet, connected people all over the world that allowed for a further global integration of value chains. Globalization 4.0 A new wave of globalization is once again upon us dominated by two global powers, the US and China. The digital economy, in its infancy during the third wave of globalization, is now becoming a force to reckon with through e-commerce, digital services, 3D printing. It is further enabled by artificial intelligence, but threatened by cross-border hacking and cyber attacks. At the same time, the global effect of climate change, cutting of forests, pollution among others, brought devastating effects to globalization that becomes a growing concern of all nations. As economic globalization is now the buzz phrase to all nations, many middle-class workers are fed up with a political and economic system that resulted in economic inequality, social instability in some countries. As globalism becomes a political ideology, the idea of having a global perspective is weakening now. In a speech delivered in Davos in January 2017, Chinese president Xi Jinping addressed the topic globalization where some blame economic globalization for the chaos in the world. But, he continued, “we came to the conclusion that integration into the global economy is a historical 10 trend. [It] is the big ocean that you cannot escape from.” He went on to propose a more inclusive globalization, and to rally nations to join in China’s new project for international trade, “Belt and Road”. Revisiting the Role of the International Financial Institutions in the Global Economy The role of the International Financial Institutions (IFIs) play an important role in the Creation of the Global Economy or Economic Globalization. An international financial institution is chartered by more than one country and subjects to international laws.National governments are the usual shareholders or owners, although other international institutions and organizations also are shareholders. The world's largest IFI is the European Investment Bank, with a balance sheet size of Euro573 billion in 2016. Market integration occurs when prices among different locations or related goods follow similar patterns over a long period of time. Groups of goods often move proportionally to each other and when this relation is very clear among different markets. It is said that the market integration should increase financial and economic efficiency, and lead to a higher economic growth. However, market integration may increase asset return volatility, and cause financial instability and contagion effects.

LEARNING CONTENT  Market Integration in the Twentieth Century (book available in the OCC Library) Ariola, M. (2018). The Contemporary World. Manila: Unlimited Books Library Services & Publishing Inc.  Claudio, Lissandro E. The Contemporary World. C & C Publishing. 2018 A. Internationalization versus Globalization 1. Internationalization does not equal globalization although it is a major part of globalization. 2. Ariola said that globalization encompasses a multitude of connections and interactions that cannot be reduced to the tie between governments. It also refers to the global economic integration of many formerly national economies into one global economy, mainly by free trade and free capital mobility but also by easy or uncontrolled migration. Furthermore, according to Ariola, internationalization refers to the increasing importance of international trade, international relations, treaties, alliances, etc. International, means between or among nations. The basic unit remains the nation, even as relations among nations become increasingly necessary and important. 3. Four Attributes of Today's Global System  There are countries or States that are independent and govern themselves.  These countries interact with each other through diplomacy.  There are international organizations like the United Nations that facilitate these interactions.  Beyond simply facilitating meetings between states, international organizations also take on lives of their own. 13 Origin of this Global system Concept of Nation-State -a relatively modern phenomenon in human history, and people did not always organize themselves as countries. Not all states are nations and not all nations are states. Example: The nation of Scotland has its own flag and national culture but still belongs to a state called the United Kingdom. The Bangsamoro in the Philippines is perceived by many to be a separate nation existing within the Philippines, but through their elites, recognizes the authority of the Philippine state. The nation of Korea is divided into North and South Korea whereas the Chinese nation may refer both to the People's Republic of China and Taiwan. 4. Difference between Nation and State A State refer s to a country and its government i.e., Government of the Philippines. A State has four (4) attributes:  It exercises authority over a specific population, called its citizens.  It governs a specific territory.  A State has a structure of government that crafts various rules that people follow.  The most crucial is, the State has sovereignty A Nation, according to Benedict Anderson, is an " imagined community" that is limited because it does not go beyond a given "official boundary," and because rights and responsibilities are mainly the privilege and concern of the citizens of that nation. The concept of "imagined" does not mean that the nation allows one to feel a connection with the community of people even if she/he will never meet all of them in his/her lifetime. Example: when you cheer a Filipino athlete in the Olympics, it does not mean you know personally that athlete. Rather, you imagine your connection as both members of the Filipino community. Furthermore, In "Imagined Communities" (1983) Anderson argues that the nation is an imagined political community that is inherently limited in scope and sovereign in nature.... The nation as imagined community came into being after the dawning of the age of Enlightenment as both a response to and a consequence of secularization. Nation and state are closely related because it is nationalism that facilitates state formation. States become independent and sovereign because of nationalist sentiments that clamor for this independence. 5. The Interstate System  GLOBAL INTERSTATE SYSTEM - The modern world-system is now a global economy with a 14 global political system (the modern interstate system). Refers to the relationship between different state union. It also includes all the cultural aspects and interaction networks of the human population. Evolution of the Interstate System and present-day concept of Sovereignty  Concept of sovereignty can be traced back to the Treaty of Westphalia, a set of agreements signed in 1648 to end the Thirty Years' War between the major continental powers in Europe. The treaty signers agreed to have complete control over their domestic affairs and swear not to meddle in each other's affairs.  The Westphalian system faced its first major challenge by Napoleon Bonaparte who believed in spreading the principles of the French Revolution -liberty, equality, and fraternity, and challenged the power of the kings, nobility, and religion in Europe. The Napoleonic wars lasted from 1803- 1815. The French implemented the Napoleonic Code that forbade birth privileges, encourage freedom or religion, and promoted meritocracy in government service. This system shocked the monarchies and the hereditary elites of Europe and they mustered their armies to push back against the French Emperor.  Anglo and Prussian armies defeated Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 ending the spread of the liberal code across Europe.  To avert another war, the royal powers created a new system that restored the Westphalian system thru the establishments of the Concert of Europe, an alliance of great powers - the United Kingdom, Austria,  Under the Metternich system (named after the Austrian Diplomat Klemens von Metternich), the Concert of Europe's powers and authority lasted from 1815-1914, at the dawn of the World War I.  Like the Concert system, the "great powers" still hold significant influence over world politics. Example, the most powerful grouping in the UN, the Security Council, has a core of five permanent members, all having veto powers over the council's decision-making process.  The Westphalian and Concert systems divided the world into separate, sovereign entities - the interstate system. The concept of internationalism arose as a desire for greater cooperation and unity among states and peoples divided into two categories - the liberal internationalism and the socialist internationalism.  The Liberal Internationalism was posited by Immanuel Kant who likened states in a global system to people living in a given territory - requiring a government to prevent lawlessness. It must give up some freedoms, like the citizens of countries and establish a continuously growing state consisting of various nations. Kant has an ideal of a global government.  British philosopher Jeremy Bentham advocated the creation of international law that would govern 15 the inter-state relations. He believed the objective global legislators should aim to propose legislation that would create "the greatest happiness of all nations taken together."  The first thinker to reconcile nationalism with liberal internationalism in the 19th century was the Italian patriot Giuseppe Mazzini, both an advocate of the unification of the various Italian-speaking mini-states and a major critic of the Metternich system. He believed in a Republican government (without kings, queens and hereditary succession) and proposed a system of free nations that cooperated with each other to create an international system. He argued that if the various Italian states could unify, one could scale up the system to create, for example, the United States of Europe - basis for global cooperation.  Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921), influenced by the thinking of Mazzini, became one of the 20th century's most prominent internationalist. Wilson sa nationalism as a prerequisite for internationalism. He forwarded the principle of self-determination - the belief that the world's nations had a right to a free and sovereign government. He hoped that these free nations would become democracies, because only by being such would they be able to build a free system of international relations based on international law and cooperation. He became the most notable advocate of the creation of the League of Nations. After the World War I in 1918, he pushed for the transformation of the League of Nations into a venue for conciliation and arbitration to prevent another war.  The League came into being that same year. Unfortunately, Wilson, the United States was not able to join the League due to strong opposition from the Senate.. The League was not able to avert another war from breaking out. World War II erupted. On one side the Axis Powers- Hitler's Germany, Mussolini of Italy and Hirohito of Japan- who were ultra nationalists that has an instinctive disdain for internationalism and preferred to violently impose their dominance over other nations. The Allied Powers were composed of the United States, United Kingdom, France, Holland and Belgium.  The League was the concretization of the concepts of liberal internationalism. From Kant, it emphasized the need to form common international principles. From Mazzini, it enshrined the principles of cooperation and respect among nations-states. From Wilson, it called for democracy and self-determination.  Socialist philosopher Karl Marx, an internationalist but differed from Kant, etc. because he did not believed in nationalism. He believed that the true form of internationalism should deliberately reject nationalism, which rooted people in domestic concerns instead of global ones. Marx placed a premium on economic equality; he did not divide the world into countries but into classes. The capitalist class referred to the owners of factories, companies and other "means of production." The proletariat class, according to Marx included those who did not own the means of production, but instead, worked for the capitalists. Marx and his co-author Frederick Engels believed that in a socialist revolution seeking to overthrow the state and alter the economy, the proletariat "had no 16 nation." They opposed nationalism because they believed that it would prevent the unification of the working class.  The Socialist International was established, a union of European Socialist and labor parties in 1889 in Paris. Although short-lived, their achievements were the declaration of May 1as the Labor Day and the crwation of the International Women's Day, and the successful campaign on the 8-hour law. The SI collapsed during the World War I.  More radical version of SI emerged through the leadership of Vladimir Lenin that created a new state called the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic or USSR. The Bolsheviks did not believe in obtaining power for the working class through elections, rather they exhortted the revolutionary "vanguard" parties that led the revolution across the world. Lenin established the Communist International (Comintern) in 1919 that served as the central body for directing communist parties all over the world. According to the author, it is less democratic because it followed closely the top-down governance of the Bolsheviks.  After Word War, Stalin re-established the Comintern as the Communist Information Bureau. It took over countries in Eastern Europe when the United States, Soviet Union, and Great Britain divided the war-torn Europe into their respective spheres of influence.  Eventual collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, communist internationalism also disappeared.

LEARNING CONTENT A. What is an International Organization When scholars refer to groups like UN or Institutions like IMF and World Bank, they usually call them international organization (IOs) the term commonly used to refer international inter-governmental organization or groups that primary made up of member-states. One major fallacy about international organization is that they are merely amalgamations of various state interests. In the 1960's and 1970's, IOs become influential as independent organizations. International scholar Michael and Martha listed the following powers of IOs. Michael N. Barrnet and Martha Finnemore, international relations scholar s listed the following powers of the IOs:  IOs have the power of classification. Because IOs can invent and apply categories, they create powerful global standards;  IOs have the power to fix meanings. this is the broader function related to the first. Various terms like "security" or "development" need to be well define. States, Organizations and individuals view IOs as legitimate sources of information. As such, the meaning they create have effects on various policies. For example, recently, the united Nation has started to define security as not just safety of military violence, but safety from environmental harm.  Finally, IOs have the power to diffuse norms. Norms are accepted codes conduct that may not strict law, but nevertheless produce regularity in behavior. because of these power IOs can be sources of 19 great good and great harm.They can promote relevant norms like environmental protection and human rights. After the collapsed of the League of Nations at the end of WWII, countries that worried about another global war began to push for the information of a more lasting international league, the result was the creation of UN should be considered a success. The UN divided into five active organs. The General Assembly ( GA ) is UN's main policy making and representative organ. Although GA is the representative organ in the UN, many commentator consider the Security Council ( SC ) to be the most powerful. According to the UN this body consist of 15 member states.The GA elects ten of these 15 to two - year terms. the other five sometimes referred to as the permanent 5 (p5) this are China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States. The third UN organ is the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) which is "the principal body for coordination, policy review, policy dialogue and recommendations on social and environmental issues, as well as the implementation of international agreed development goals". It has 54 members of elected for three- year terms. Currently it is the UN's central platform for discussions on sustainable development. Fourth is the International Court of Justice whose task " is to settle in accordance with international law, legal desputes submitted to it by states and to give advisory opinions reffered to it by authorized United Nation organs and specialized agencies". Fifth, the Trusteeship Council was assigned under the UN Charter to supervise the administration of 11 Trust Territories—former colonies or dependent territories—which were placed under the International Trusteeship System. The system was created at the end of the World War II to promote the advancement of the inhabitants of those dependent Territories and their progressive development towards self-governance or independence. Challenges of the United Nations The UN is not a world government, and its functions is primarily because of voluntary cooperation of states. If states refuse to cooperate, the influence of the UN can be severely circumscribed. The biggest challenge of the UN is related to issues of security, it is tough to council to release a formal resolution much more implement it. Today, a similar dynamic situation is evident in Syria, which is undergoing a civil war. Russia has threatened to veto any SC resolution against Syria; thus, the UN has done very little to stop state - sanctioned violence against opponents of the government. 20  Intergovernmental cooperation is at the centre of the global partner ship for development. It has a vital role to play in the achievement of global development goals, in terms not only of the resources and technical assistance it can provide, but also in the areas of policy decision-making and norm-setting.  Global governance encompasses the totality of institutions, policies, norms, procedures and initiatives through which States and their citizens try to bring more predictability, stability and order to their responses to transnational challenges. Effective global governance can only be achieved with effective international cooperation. It argues that international cooperation and the resulting governance mechanisms are not working well.  First, the current global governance system is not properly equipped to manage the growing economic integration and interdependence among countries, both of which are compounded by the current globalization process. Globalization tends to accentuate interdependencies among countries.  Second, global governance structures and rules are characterized by severe asymmetries in terms of access, scope and outcomes. While developing countries must abide by and/or shoulder the effects of global governance rules and regulations, they have limited influence in shaping them. Meanwhile, the unbalanced nature of globalization implies that important areas of common interest are currently not covered, or sparsely covered, by global governance mechanisms, while other areas are considered to be over-determined or overregulated by a myriad of arrangements with different rules and provisions, causing fragmentation, increased costs and reduced effectiveness. These deficiencies have contributed to the generation of asymmetric outcomes among countries and have had important implications for inequality at the national level as well.  Finally, current approaches to global governance and global rules have led to a greater shrinking of policy space for national Governments, par-Global governance and global rules for development in the post-2015 era particularly in the developing countries, than necessary for the efficient management of interdependence; this also impedes the reduction of inequalities within countries. Five Principles critical to guiding the reforms of global governance and global rules: (i) Common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capacities: This principle calls for recognizing differences among countries in terms of their contribution and historical responsibilities in generating common problems, as well as divergences in financial and technical capacities, in order to address shared challenges. This principle also acknowledges the diversity of national circumstances and policy approaches—a diversity which should be embedded in the architecture of global governance as an intrinsic feature of the global community, not as an exception to general rules. (ii) Subsidiarity: Issues ought to be addressed at the lowest level capable of addressing them. This principle implies that some problems can be handled well and efficiently at the local, national, sub- 21 regional and regional levels reducing the number of issues that need to be tackled at the international and supranational level. Subsidiarity suggests an important role for regional cooperation in addressing issues of mutual concern. (iii) Inclusiveness, transparency, accountability: Global governance institutions need to be representative of, and accountable to, the entire global community, while decision-making procedures need to be democratic, inclusive and transparent. Robust governance implies mutual accountability, verified by transparent and credible mechanisms and processes to ensure that agreed commitments and duties are fulfilled. (iv) Coherence: Definitions of global rules and processes need to rest on comprehensive approaches, including the assessment of possible trade-offs, so that actions in different areas will not undermine or disrupt one another, but instead be mutually reinforcing. Enhanced coherence is also needed between the international and national spheres of policymaking. This also requires improved coordination among various stakeholders and enhanced information sharing. (v) Responsible sovereignty: This principle recognizes that policy cooperation is the best way to achieve national interests in the global public domain. It also requires Governments and States to be fully respectful of the sovereignty of other nations so as to fulfill agreed policy outcomes. The role of the United Nations is important in the global governance architecture. It argues that the General Assembly, with its universal membership and democratic decision-making process, should function as the main political forum for managing global challenges, in close interaction with the Economic and Social Council and its subsidiary bodies on economic, social and environmental issues.
