GLOBALISATION-AND-DEVELOPMENT) Please download to view (https://documents.tips/download/link/cape-caribbean-studies-notes-globalisation-anddevelopment) CARIBBEAN STUDIES NOTES GLOBALISATION AND DEVELOPMENT Globalisation is the process whereby flows of trade, finance and information between countries are broadened and deepened so that they function as one global market.

RECOMMENDED

Globalisation is a process that erodes distinctions between one place and another. The world would operate as if there are no borders â as if the nation-state does not exist. All countries would be on a level playing field (conceived as equal) and all would be impacted by worldwide phenomenon. However, there are implicit contradictions in the way globalisation is being played out such as the fact that there will be who can afford greater access to the elite products and services and have more power. All âcountriesâ would not have the same impact on others; instead, there may be a few powerful countries

whose dominant ideas and products influence the rest of the world. Internationalization began with the reduction in transport

costs in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. After the two world wars, the institutions of the UN, IMF, GATT (now

(https://documents.tips/category/documents.html)

WTO) and the World Bank were set up. They stabilized currencies, increased trade and production and kept a tight hold on regulation of international monetary flows. Economies were thrown into disarray in the 1970s when OPEC countries hiked up the price of oil. Since then, free trade has spread and TNCs and foreign investment has been more widespread. ICTs have enables businesses to communicate with suppliers and customers all over the world and have automated many stages of production, greatly increasing efficiency. Globalisation is primarily of three types, namely, economic, cultural and political: 1. Economic Globalisation: No national economy is an island now. To varying degrees, national economies influence one

another. One country which is capital-rich invests in another country which is poor. One who has better technologies sells these to others who lack such technologies. The products of an advanced country enter the markets of those countries that have demands for these products. Similarly, the natural resources of developing countries are sold to developed countries

countries. Western pop music has become popular in developing countries. The reverse flow of culture is insignificant. The flow of culture is mainly from the North to the South. In the last few years the media owners of the West have shown interest in entering developing countries. For example, Murdoch has opened TV channels (STAR News, STAR Movies and STAR Plus) in India. Cultural globalisation has been facilitated by the information revolution, the spread of satellite communication, telecommunication networks, information technology and the Internet etc. This global flow of ideas,

the cultures of villages of poor countries which will be the first to suffer erosion. 3. Political Globalisation: Since long, efforts have been on to bring the whole world under one government. The League of Nations and the UN have been the efforts in that direction. It is believed that the world under one government will be safer and freer from conflicts: The UN has belied expectations, but a number of regional organisations like European Union, ASEAN, APEC and SAARC, and multicultural economic organisations such as WTO have come up. The member-states remain sovereign, but through their obligations and commitments, they have, to some extent, integrated themselves to the concerned international organisations and
