...Will political globalization inevitably follow economic globalization? BY Gonçalo Jóia Martins Student number 12859 Abstract: The essay intends to prove that political globalization and a system of global governance is inevitable. First, it starts by showing how economic globalization led countries to be more dependent on each other than ever. This is demonstrated by the growing cross-border interdependence due to economic trade and also by the proliferation of global players that require global cooperation between nations. Those factors inevitably lead to the necessity of global institutions of governance. The thesis is supported by answering to the Rodrick Trilemma using the influence of important globalization actors like multinational companies that help to shape the society towards a global mentality what will also push for political globalization. I end up concluding that although difficult political globalization is feasible and if taken into account all the factors I mention it will inevitably happen. Submitted to Professor Miguel Homem Ferreira of Tutorial Class TAB29 on 19/03/2015 10 years ago in China Yan Xuetong gave a lecture about globalization to a group of college sophomores for about 3 hours. At the end, before he took questions, he asked to the group of students: “What does globalization mean”? Someone answered "free trade". He laughed, saying that was the typical American answer. He then proceeded to explain that what globalization really means...

...In his article Runaway Globalization Without Governance, Nayan Chanda(2008) asserts that nowadays, the lack of global governance, especially that from the U. S., has put the world created by globalization on a precarious position. In contemporary society, the emergence of the three global challenges-“the issues of sovereignty and national security”, nuclear crisis, and global climate changes- has made it really imperative for all countries to enhance global governance. In my opinion, it is indeed necessary for all countries to participate in global governance to surmount various global challenges. However, it is idealistic of Chanda to simply hope that super powers like the U. S. will actively push the establishment of global rules when such action actually goes against the their national interest. Firstly, I agree that global governance is an essential factor in the further development of globalization and the stabilization of the world. From a historical perspective, while governance from a single empire and people’s common fear’s of God were effective in a certain historical period to solve the issues having emerged in the progress of globalization, only global governance provided fundamental solutions to these problems (Chanda, 2008). In contemporary society, global governance does have made great contributions to a more stable and developed world as well. Among many other global institutions, the establishment of World Trade Organization (WTO) and World Health Organization...

...Objective of the study: To begin to understand how Globalization has shaped the world population and how the so called third world countries can benefit from the ever growing interconnectedness and interdependence of the trade and commerce which is inseparable from just about every aspect of our lives – what we eat, what we wear, what kind of houses we live in, how we treat our sick & ill or how we show off. To be more precise, we aim to understand the problems facing us in the International Trade & commerce by looking at WTO principles and framework and what we need to do to address these issues so as to deliver more benefit to us. Introduction: WTO (World Trade Organisation) is an organisation that supervises the international trade. The organisation replaced the GATT in 1995. Broadly speaking, WTO deals with issues related to regulation of trade between participating member counties by providing the members with a framework for negotiations, trade agreements and dispute / conflict resolution process. These frameworks are evolved from earlier negotiations under the GATT and are ratified by the governments of the member countries. The member countries are 159 in number, so it can be safely said that WTO is at the forefront of the global trade and commerce and is spearheading a campaign for the global economic development. The organisation has its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland and the Director General is Mr. Pascal Lemy. Research Methodology: This research...

...Jason Chen Mr. Hampstead English 124 003 14 February 2014 Leaders of Yesterday Running an empire compared to a city-state is not that much different depending on who is in power. Some characteristics seem to be prevalent in history and carried over to modern times. Marco Polo conducts much analysis on the many regions of the worlds he visits but he has a specific goal in discussing leadership. Does he believe that a leader should be a moral character or more of a political ideologist? Is it better to be a smart leader or a good person? The main focus of Polo was Kaan, but his discussions of other leaders, such as the Old Man of the mountain and Lord Prester, gives insight to other leaders of the past. The Old Man of the mountain was a deceptive leader who tricked people into being his followers because they claimed he controlled a place of paradise. He trained a group called Ashishin or assassins. The Old Man would take a man from the paradise and ask him from where he came; the man would reply, “that he came from Paradise!” (Polo book 1 Chapter 24) The Old Man used this illusion to motivate men to do his bidding. The selected men were driven to do his work based solely on the desire to return to paradise. The Old Man of the mountain was a commander of deception. Even though he used an illusion he was able to secure his kingdom, making him an effective leader. He did not seem interested in invading other areas, but to maintain the system he had created. The Old Man’s...

...I was only 12 when Sachin Tendulkar first represented India and left a nation instantly mesmerised. I remember watching him dance down the track to hit Abdul Qadir for three towering sixes, and must have tried to do the same innumerable times, if only in my imagination. While I was still learning how to stand properly at the crease, Tendulkar was earning standing ovations around the globe; while I was still learning how to use my feet to get to the pitch of the ball, Tendulkar was taking giant strides. The more I played the game, the more I admired him, for it was only through playing that one truly understood the scale of what he was doing. By the end of the 1990s, it was as if he had ceased to be just a player, and now symbolised excellence. It was around this time that I started nurturing the dream of playing for India myself. And yet playing for India and playing alongside Tendulkar seemed two separate things. Playing for India would mean countless hours of toil, something I was prepared for. But nothing had prepared me for sitting in the dressing-room next to my idol. I was a bundle of nerves when I walked into the conference hall of Ahmedabad’s plush Taj hotel for my first India team meeting in October 2003. I had attended many team meetings before, but had little idea of how this one would unfold – and even less idea of how I would react to my first encounter with Tendulkar. Fifteen minutes in, I worried our chat wouldn’t go beyond the customary exchange of greetings:...

...Conclusions The globalization of supply chain management is the natural outcome of today’s expanding consumer markets as companies struggle to meet the dynamic needs of growing markets and new customer segments. It has led to a high degree of specialization under an ever-expanding world market. People with special skills can work with little overheads and market globally. Small companies can flourish. Introduction The pace of globalization on the supply chain continues to foster opportunities, challenges and uncertainties for companies around the world. Almost every business is involved in one or more supply chains and Globalization now has an impact on every company, large and small.[1] The purpose of this report is to: 1. Explain when Globalization started. 2. Assess the impact of globalization on supply chain management. Definition Globalization describes the process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of political ideas through communication, transportation, and trade. The term is most closely associated with the term economic globalization: the integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, the spread of technology, and military presence. [2] History Of Globalization When It Began The term, globalization, was first used around 1960 to describe international capital flows. If the definition of...

Four Rules for Effective Negotiations 8:30 AM Tuesday July 28, 2009 | Comments (19) I've been involved in many negotiations in my career. They've all been different in some ways, and alike in others. But through them all, I've identified four "golden rules" to be the most helpful towards productive negotiation outcomes. The rules parallel different stages of a negotiation: 1. The background homework: Before any negotiation begins, understand the interests and positions of the other side relative to your own interests and positions. Put these points down and spend time in advance seeing things from the other side. 2. During the process: Don't negotiate against yourself. This is especially true if you don't fully know the position of the other side. Much is learned about what the other side really wants during the actual negotiation process. Stay firm on your initial set of positions and explain your rationale but don't give in too early...
