Globalisering

This book offers a comprehensive and multidisciplinary global overview of populism and human rights in the light of globalization. It examines why the dominant (neo)liberal paradigm of the last decades resulted in major economic and social inequalities which resulted in the surge of national populism, led by the election success of right-wing parties, movements, and leaders across the world. It discusses, among other topics, the success of Brexit in Britain and the election success of Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen and explains why there is a need for a dialogue on human rights and globalization in this era of populism.Further contributions analyze various important topics of the field, including cross-culturalism, globalization, human rights, challenges and threats, diversity, curbing global corruption, sustainable development, populism, the decline of free speech, the new nationalism, internationalization, global regime of human rights, leadership theory, global management competencies, gender, quality management, individualism-collectivism, and examples of new initiatives in global organizations. This makes the book a valuable and useful resource for students, researchers, and scholars of international relations, political science, sociology, political psychology, law, diplomatic studies, Communication and media studies, economics, education and management, as well as practitioners and policy-makers interested in a better understanding of globalization, populism, and human rights.

Before the First World War, enthusiasm for a borderless world reached its height. International travel, migration, trade and progressive projects on matters ranging from women's rights to world peace reached a crescendo. Yet in the same breath, an undercurrent of reaction was growing, one that would surge ahead with the outbreak of war and its aftermath.In Against the World, a sweeping and ambitious work of history, acclaimed scholar Tara Zahra examines how nationalism, rather than internationalism, came to ensnare world politics in the early twentieth century. The air went out of the globalist balloon with the First World War as quotas were put on immigration and tariffs on trade, not only in the United States but across Europe, where war and disease led to mass societal upheaval. The "Spanish flu" heightened anxieties about porous national boundaries. The global impact of the 1929 economic crash and the Great Depression amplified a quest for food security in Europe and economic autonomy worldwide. Demands for relief from the instability and inequality linked to globalisation forged democracies and dictatorships alike, from Gandhi's India to America's New Deal and Hitler's Third Reich. Immigration restrictions, racially constituted notions of citizenship, anti-Semitism and violent outbursts of hatred of the "other" became the norm-coming to genocidal fruition in the Second World War.Millions across the political spectrum sought refuge from the imagined and real threats of the global economy in ways strikingly reminiscent of our contemporary political moment: new movements emerged focused on homegrown and local foods, domestically produced Hardbacking and other goods, and back-to-the-land communities. Rich with astonishing detail gleaned from Zahra's unparalleled archival research in five languages, Against the World is a poignant and thorough exhumation of the popular sources of resistance to globalisation. With anti-globalism a major tenet of today's extremist agendas, Zahra's arrestingly clearsighted and wide-angled account is essential reading to grapple with our divided present.

Dieses Lehrbuch setzt sich mit den zentralen Institutionen, Akteuren und politischen Prozessen um die globale Verteilung und Nutzung kritischer natürlicher Ressourcen auseinander. Einige Stimmen sehen die Welt bereits im Zeitalter der Ressourcenkriege angekommen, andere betonen, dass Ressourcenknappheit auch zu neuen Kooperationen im internationalen System führe. Unter dem Begriff ¿natürlicher Ressourcen¿ werden sowohl nachwachsende (z.B. Getreideprodukte, Holz) sowie nicht-nachwachsende Ressourcen (z.B. Rohöl oder Erdgas) gefasst, deren Verteilung und Nutzung politischen und ökonomischen Prozesse unterliegen.

"This edited collection provides a rare look at the dynamic growth and multinationalization of Korean apparel firms. Despite their economic and social significance at home and abroad, little attention has been paid to the evolving nature of their business and strategies. This volume highlights their contributions as well as the challenges they are confronting in the fast-changing global apparel industry."- Kihak Sung, Chairman/CEO of Youngone Corporation and Former President of the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF)"The Korean apparel industry is an intriguing case in the study of industrial development because it was one of Korea's leading export sectors in the 1970s and 1980s, and then Korea adopted a critical middleman role in the subsequent internationalization of the apparel global value chain (GVC) since the 1990s. This edited volume highlights this new phase of globalization and regionalization by zooming in on Korean multinational first-tier suppliers and their role in fostering the expansion of the apparel GVC in Southeast Asia, Central America and other global regions."- Gary Gereffi, Emeritus Professor of Sociology and Director of the Global Value Chains Center at DukeThis book offers a fresh look at the global apparel industry, focusing on Korean multinational corporations (MNCs) and their growing role in building regional connections and shaping economic and social development in Asia. Focusing on the multinationalization of Korean apparel firms over the past decades and their upgrading to first-tier suppliers in apparel global value chains, this edited volume highlights a host of new challenges these emerging MNCs confront in the rapidly changing global apparel industry and provides an in-depth view of their expanding role and adaptive strategies in configuring regional connections in post-Pandemic Asia.Joonkoo Lee is an Associate Professor in the School of Business at Hanyang University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.Hyunji Kwon is a Professor of Sociology at Seoul National University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.Hyun-Chin Lim is a Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Director of the Civil Society Program in Asia Center at Seoul National University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

This textbook deals with the progressive global dissolution of political, economic, and social boundaries, which has significant implications for labor markets, the international division of labor, social security, and income distribution. Politically, it is eroding the sovereign ability of nation-states to shape their own affairs; socially, it conjures up the specter of an increasingly global culture of unity. Against the background of the empirical effects of globalization processes in a number of areas, the book discusses to what extent these fears are justified, whether they cannot also be explained by other developments, and whether the benefits of globalization justify the costs and risks resulting from it.

This book focuses on a question that has attracted substantial attention in recent years, is globalisation leading to more inequality, notably in advanced economies?The consensus view is largely yes fx supported by leading international organisations such as the OECD and IMF.In this book, the author challenges the robustness of these claims. The purpose is straightforward. First, a too simple reading on the effects of globalisation may lead to the wrong policy answers such as erecting barriers to trade, even when it clearly benefits consumers. As importantly, it may also distract attention from addressing the clear and observable challenges many countries are facing: notably economic activities being increasingly concentrated in the most prosperous areas and educational systems failing to provide the work force with the skills to succeed in the labour market. Arguably, these very domestic policy failures are key contributors to the emerging economic and political tensions in many OECD countries, with global trade playing a real minor role. The book also draws some policy conclusions. Notably what should international economic regulation focus on, notably in the domain of trade related policies, and what can largely be delivered at local level, even well below the national level.

How to become the masters of the world in the age of the Internet? Renamed "shock strategy," social engineering consists of plunging populations into crisis and anguish to better centralize order and power in the hands of an oligarchy.

This book analyzes China's transformative political power in today's world while simultaneously addressing global issues and the reformation of world institutions. China has become known as the world's first factory and trading power, but more knowledge on China's rise is necessary to understand the world of today and the future. The main question is where China's rise is headed and how this affects the increasingly connected world that faces problems that no state can effectively address on its own. This book analyzes both sides of the coin, that is, the problems of a world scale and the change of the world political order. China is among the major actors for global issues such as mitigating climate warming, controlling weapons of mass destruction, combating economic inequality and underdevelopment, and improving health for all. In the current setting of the new world order, all countries and especially world powers develop a general blueprint for the future, as cultural andmaterial conditions of the present world are very different from the past. Under such conditions, China faces a review of its bilateral and regional strategies, as well as its position and actions in world institutions that have the mission of forming policy responses to issues of a global scale.This book, therefore, provides insight into China's view of world problems and the future world order. It is a must-read for everybody interested in a better understanding of China's role in today's world and the global power shift.

"This report examines how U.S.-China rivalry might unfold under conditions characterized by a blend of some aspects of modern life with a much more substantial attenuation or regression of other aspects, a condition the authors label neomedievalism. The report outlines key trends that collectively suggest that the future of the U.S.-China rivalry will bear little resemblance to the titanic struggles of the past two centuries. U.S.-China peacetime competition appears headed to unfold under conditions featuring a high degree of international disorder, decaying state capacity, pervasive and acute domestic challenges, and severe constraints imposed by economic and social factors that are vastly different from those industrial nation-states experienced in the 19th and 20th centuries. These trends interact with and compound the effects of one another and are unlikely to be reversed. The net effect will be to considerably weaken virtually all states, including the United States and China. At the same time, severe resource constraints and a nearly overwhelming array of threats will stress the U.S. and China militaries and impair their ability to contend with one another. Many theories and ideas of why and how great powers compete may need to be reconsidered."--

"Eventually, after layer after layer of artifice has been peeled away, we will see the horrible truth about the psychopathic mafia and the physical and psychological slavery they have imposed on us for so long".In this collection of 15 essays penned in 2022, Paul Cudenec of Winter Oak looks deep into the rotten heart of a modern world that he shows to be run for the profit and self-interest of a tiny and evasive criminal cartel.He concludes that we urgently need to reclaim the freedom "to be what we are meant to be, to live how we wish to live, to decide amongst ourselves what kind of future we want to give our children and our children's children".

The author is a former scientist at the UK Government Dept. of Energy and Climate Change, and at the United Nations Environment Division. Thousands of experienced and distinguished climate scientists dispute the UN climate narrative. The climate changes slowly and naturally in its own cycle and the dominant factor is solar activity and 1500 scientists have signed a declaration to this effect. This book demolishes the UN-promoted climate change hysteria and provides evidence and testimony from renowned and distinguished climate scientists that the climate does not change due to Co2 emissions or methane from livestock, such as cows. The UN climate change narrative that Co2 causes climate change will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world.Via their control of politics and the media, powerful special interests have tried to convince the world that Co2 is a climate changing toxin. The money agenda, the connections between private banking and the climate change hoax, the fake science, and fraudulent computer modelling are detailed. The climate hoax has subverted and suppressed real environmentalism and real local sustainability, and is designed to propel humanity into UN Agenda 2030, which involves increased corporate control of resources.The decision to drastically reduce Co2, one of the most essential compounds to sustain all life, is no co-incidence. The world's central bankers are behind this decision and are entirely funding and controlling the advancement of the worldwide project of reducing Co2 emissions. In December 2015, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) created the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), which represents $118 trillion of assets globally. In essence this means that the financialization of the entire world economy is based on meeting nonsensical aims such as "net-zero greenhouse gas emissions". The world's largest banks and corporations, including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, the World Bank, the Bank of England and other central banks of the BIS, have all linked to push a vague, mathematically nonsensical 'green' economy as part of UN Agenda 2030. UN Agenda 2030 aims to move people off the land and into 'smart cities'. This is smart for them, not smart for you.Thus, the historical controlling power structure behind the curtain of the globalised matrix of private banking, monopoly capitalism, war, and genocidal communism is examined. Oil dependency, the flaws of globalisation, the psuedo-science of contemporary economics, and the subject of collapse are also analysed. The author maps a path toward an enlightened future based on real local sustainability, monetary reform, freedom from bonded surety, the importance of a God-conscious society, and knowledge from the ancient Vedic texts.

Introduction Behavioral economics is the combination of psychology and economics that investigates what happens in markets in which some of the agents display human limitations. However, surely all of economics is meant to be about the behavior of economic agents, be their firms or consumers, suppliers or demanders, bankers. Economics traditionally conceptualizes a world populated by calculating, unemotional maximizers. Hence, their minds bring this question: Why may technology influence global labor number increases or decreases ? Technology or human behavior may influence economy ? I shall attempt to apply human psychology and economic theory to explain these questions to let readers can understand.

Spätestens seit der ausgerufenen ¿Zeitenwende¿ muss Sicherheitspolitik nicht nur neu, sondern auch anders gedacht werden. Der Dreiklang von Sicherheit, die Frieden schafft und Entwicklung ermöglicht, ist nicht mehr im Sinne von humanitären Interventionen zu denken, sondern in einem unübersichtlichen und mannigfaltigen politischen Umfeld neu zu verorten. Dieses Buch leistet einen Diskussionsbeitrag zu den Herausforderungen, Zielen und Konflikten in diesen interdependenten Politikfeldern. Die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven aus Sicht der Friedens-, Sicherheits- und Entwicklungspolitik werden durch Fallbeispiele illustriert.

This book discusses the feasible breakthrough of emerging economy enterprises in participating the international division of labor led by developed countries and gradually standing at the top end(s) of the value chain based on a deep understanding of the practice and upgrading opportunities of Chinese enterprises. On the basis of re-understanding the theory of global value chains, this book puts forward and expounds the concept of restructuring the global value chain. This book analyzes the background,motivations, paths and effects of enterprises in emerging economies to reconstruct the global value chain and develops a theoretical system to explore the deep-seated logic behind enterprise upgrading. This book concludes that the transformation and upgrading of Chinese enterprises are the most critical initiatives in seeking a new balance in the world economy. This book involves dozens of manufacturing enterprise cases in Chinese mainland and Taiwan. It is of great value to the research and policy study of enterprise upgrading and the participation in global competition.

This book explores the most important aspects of populism as a significant social phenomenon. It recapitulates the approaches to defining populism in the social sciences, singles out the most important concepts in the definition of populism, and presents them to the readership. Specific to this book is that it seeks to promote an approach that sees populism as a meta-ideology, that is, an ideology that uses other political ideologies instrumentally. In addition, the book Populism as Meta Ideology identifies the most important factors that have contributed to the growth of populism in recent times. Modernization, globalization, the crisis of political parties, and the transformation of the public sphere have been identified as such factors. A chapter is devoted to each of these factors in the book. The book concludes by examining the interaction between populism and liberal democracy, both theoretically and practically. 

"From New Yorker staff writer and author of The Longing for Less Kyle Chayka comes a ... history and investigation of a world ruled by algorithms, ... [networks] of mathematically determined choices that ramify into the development of city grids and music playlists alike. To have our tastes, behaviors, and emotions governed by computers, does nothing short of call the very notion of free will into question. Over the last decade, Kyle Chayka has studied the homogeneity of this curation of reality. ... Chayka ... examines how this deeply filtered aesthetic--spanning digital and physical spaces--creates an uncanny blend of work, home, and social life. As the algorithm determines our choices, other important questions arise: What happens when shareability supersedes messiness, innovation, and creativity--the very nature of being human? What does the notion of choice mean when the available options have been so carefully arranged for us?"--

¿Wir leben in einer absurden Welt: Es geht uns besser als je zuvor, doch wollen wir immer mehr haben, obwohl wir wissen, dass wir in absehbarer Zeit nicht mehr genügend haben werden. Wir produzieren und konsumieren in einem Umfang, der eine Klimakatastrophe heraufbeschwört. Während die Vermögen der reichsten Menschen steigen, wächst in armen Ländern die Armut. Eine Korrektur kann weder durch eine Revolution noch durch den Ersatz der bestehenden Wirtschaftsordnung erfolgen. Sie ist nur innerhalb der bestehenden Ordnung möglich. Sie muss an die Erfordernisse von mehr Nachhaltigkeit und sozialer Gerechtigkeit angepasst werden. Dafür reichen die bislang eingesetzten Mittel nicht aus. Es müssen deutlich wirksamere Maßnahmen getroffen werden. Dem stehen vor allem zwei Hindernisse im Wege. Das eine ist der Wohlstand, den uns unsere Wirtschaft beschert, der uns verführt, nur ihre Vorteile zu sehen. Das andere ist eine positive Voreingenommenheit, zu der wir erzogen wurden und die uns über ihre Nachteile hinwegsehen lässt. Sie hindert uns, die Gründe der Probleme zu erkennen und daher auch die Möglichkeiten einer Lösung. Das Buch hinterfragt diese Voreingenommenheit und stellt Lösungen für die geschilderten Probleme vor.

This book brings together diverse ideas on selected facets of globalisation and transitions in globalisation. The scholars that have contributed to this book examine the phenomenon of globalisation through varied lenses, focusing specifically on the human and economic perspectives. These analyses originate in many areas and different legal systems but are all connected through the work of Professor John Farrar and the associations of the contributors with him. This book does not attempt to provide answers to the many challenges of globalisation. Instead, this book discusses selected, particular aspects of globalisation that derive from and are connected to the authors' own research. The thematic diversity of this book is a true strength and should draw a broad range of readers. Whilst this book is primarily written from a legal angle, its content overlaps with broader specialised policy areas, with contributions ranging from taxation to ageing, from insolvency to social licences, and from refugees to the treatment of first nations people. In short, there is something for everyone in this book. As a tribute to the life's work of an outstanding legal scholar, Professor John Farrar, this book explores legal responses to the social and economic impacts of globalisation. After personal acknowledgments from colleagues highlighting the significance of his scholarship, this book is divided into two parts. The first part addresses the social impact of globalisation, focusing on immigration and the impact on First Nations people. Changes in the regulation of medicine and technologies related to ageing are also addressed in this part. In part two, the book addresses the transitioning corporate law landscape and notions of fairness and good faith in the law. The final part contains the conclusions, reflections and synthesis of the editors.

The book examines the impact of COVID-19 on economic and political processes, contending that the global reaction to the pandemic has been the largest failure in scientific policy in a generation. Unlike earlier crises, it has impacted the world's leading economies while also paralyzing international ties, provoking diverse and far-reaching reactions. The authors posit that no effective global response has been launched in response to this global catastrophe. Rather, governments have implemented a variety of policies based on the costs of virus protection against financial closure and isolation. In doing so, there has been a resurgence in nationalism. This book aims to provide comprehensive understanding of how the pandemic has widened political gaps, and demarcates what the long-term consequences might be in terms of policies and economics in the wake of the pandemic. Of interest to scholars in political geography, development studies, international relations, public administration, and health science, this book presents key observations on existing theories of global politics pivoted around the COVID-19 pandemic, and its ramifications on individuals, groups, and ultimately, the nation state.

The China Question: Contestations and Adaptations provides fresh perspectives on, and empirics about, China's international relations through the lens of the local and regional configurations and developments around the world. While China's foreign policy strategies have received much attention, and in particular the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the local contestations and/or adaptations that China provokes in the countries and regions it engages remain under-researched. In this book, a global collection of scholars examines how countries, societies, and individuals around the world are responding to China's rise.

A book that helps make sense of the megatrends playing out in the world today and, as a result, how individuals can future-proof their businesses and careers.In the context of work, consider two headlines that we face on a regular basis. Firstly, that the financial reality is few of us can afford to retire and, secondly, that robots and AI are destroying the very jobs we need to make a living. How are these two realities compatible?At the same time, the business landscape is full of hazards, with globalization, technology, talent shortages, changing consumer choices and politics all making it harder to create and maintain success. Competitors seemingly arrive from nowhere overnight, challenging and upending our markets.It is all up in the air, it is all happening at once and it is happening to all of us. From any perspective - personal or corporate - shouldn't we seek to understand what is happening and prepare ourselves for what is coming next?The World of Work to 2030 is a practical book that addresses these challenges. With a timeline to enable immediate action to be taken, and backed by extensive research, it is aimed at anyone who wants to know how to navigate the commercial and personal uncertainty of the future. The book considers the megatrends playing out in the world today and then through a series of lenses it explains how businesses and individuals can future-proof themselves. Illustrated through a broad range of case studies applied to markets around the world, this is a smart examination of the future of work and how to overcome its challenges.

Most of pages of this book are dedicated to the times we live in and so-called 4th Industrial Revolution with the Great Reset, the Klaus Schwab's project "You Will Own Nothing and You Will Be Happy", Earth BioGenome (2018-2028) project, edible mRNA vaccine, Graphene, EMF, Sapiens by Harari, Russia - Ukraine conflict, Putin, Zelenskyy, Arestovych, Anton LaVey with his Satanic philosophy, and much more. However, the inspiration of this book was a brilliant cardiologist, whose life is so meaningful and important.

This book, written in honor of Arno Tausch, presents cutting-edge research on globalization, development, and global values. Internationally renowned authors cover topics such as global economic and political cycles, global values, and support for terrorism. Over the last five decades, the Austrian political scientist Arno Tausch was a pioneer in studies on globalization, development and global values. This collection of essays takes up the issues dealt with by Tausch and presents perspectives for the 21st Century. Throughout his work, Tausch applied quantitative methods to study the fundamental issues of the global political economy and the global political system, like dependency, economic and political cycles, and global values, based on a rigorous study of available social scientific data, like the World Values Survey and the Arab Barometer.

Die Soziologie der Weltbeziehungen untersucht, wie Menschen sich in der Welt verorten und mit ihr in Verbindung treten. Auf welche Weise dieser Ansatz für unterschiedliche Disziplinen fruchtbar gemacht werden kann, zeigt dieser Band. Dabei widmen sich die Autor:innen einer Analyse grundlegender Konzepte der westlichen Moderne - etwa den Praktiken des Teilens und Tauschens. Darüber hinaus eröffnen sie eine historisch sowie global vergleichende Perspektive anhand vielfältiger Themen, etwa dem Verständnis von Markt und Eigentum in China oder der Dekolonisierung von Forschung in Indien. Hieran anschließend formulieren sie konkrete Vorschläge zu einer Neuausrichtung der Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
