WHAT IS GLOBALIZATION?

GLOBALIZATION has been commonly understood


either as a PROCESS, a CONDITION or an
IDEOLOGY. (Steger, Ideologies of Globalization)

Theoretical Paradigms of Globalization
• World Systems- views globalization not as a recent
phenomenon but as virtually synonymous with the birth and
spread of World Capitalism. (Wallerstein)
• Global Capitalism- tend to see globalization as a novel stage in
the evolving system of World Capitalism- “Capitalist
Globalization”.
• The Network Society of School of Thought- capitalism does
not fuel globalization but technology and technological change
as the underlying cause of globalization. (Castell)

• Space, Time and Globalization- the conceptual essence of globalization
is “time-space distanciation”- which Giddens defines as the
“intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities
in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many
miles away and vice-versa.”
• Transnationality and Transnationalism- Transnational processes and
practices are defined broadly as the multiple ties and interactions-
economic, political, social and cultural- that link people, communities and
institutions across the borders of nation-states. Transnationalism is an
umbrella concept encompassing a wide variety of transformative
processes, practices and developments that take place simultaneously at a
local and global level.
• Global Culture- emphasize the rapid growth of the mass media and
resultant global cultural flows and images in recent decades evoking the
image famously put forth by Marshal McLuhan of the “the global
village”.

• International Trade is the process by


which nations export and import goods,
services and financial capital

• International trade is vital to economic


growth because it expands a nation’s
consumption possibilities.

Economic Basis of Trade

1. Different nations are endowed with various kinds and


amount of natural resources
2. The production of varied goods and services require
different combinations of economic resources and also
particular technology.
3. Various nations have different specializations that make
their products highly differentiated.

• Economic globalization is a historical process, the result
of human innovation and technological progress. It refers
to the increasing integration of economies around the
world, particularly through the movement of goods,
services, and capital across borders. The term sometimes
also refers to the movement of people (labor) and
knowledge (technology) across international borders.

Going beyond simple economics….

• Economic systems must be analyzed within


the context of the overall social system of a
country and, indeed, within an international,
global context as well.
• “Social system” - the interdependent
relationships between economic and non-
economic factors.

Development

• Amartya Sen (1998 Nobel laureate in economics) argues that


the “capability function” is what really matters for status as a
poor/non-poor person.
• “Economic growth cannot be sensibly treated as an end in itself.
Development has to be more concerned with enhancing the
lives we lead and the freedoms we enjoy.”

• Contemporary globalization is, however,
considered to be a myth (Bairoch, 1993) not just
because it is not without precedents. More
concerns have been raised with regard to its
impact on the worldwide distribution of income.

• According to Wallerstein, capitalism, ‘a historical social system’ (1983: 13),
created the dramatically diverging historical level of wages in the economic
arena of the world system. Thus, growing inequality, along with economic
and political dependence, are not independent at all from economic
globalization.

World Economy: Defined
• Large geographic zone within which there is a division
of labor and hence significant internal exchange of
basic or essential goods as well as flows of capital
and labor. A defining feature of a world-economy is
that it is not bounded by a unitary political structure.
Rather, there are many political units inside the world-
economy, loosely tied together in our modern world
system in an interstate system

Capitalism fuels World Economy

• Old concept: Capitalism is the existence of persons or


firms producing for sale on the market with the intention
of obtaining a profit.
• Capitalism today: a system gives priority to the endless
accumulation of capital: it means that people and firms
are accumulating capital in order to accumulate still
more capital, a process that is continual and endless.

• The capitalist system therefore ensures that the
economic status quo is maintained
• Capitalist system requires a very special
relationship between economic producers and the
holders of political power. Capitalists need a
large market and need a multiplicity of states, so
that they can gain the advantages of working
with states but also can circumvent states hostile
to their interests in favor of states friendly to
their interests. Only the existence of a
multiplicity of states within the overall division
of labor assures this possibility.

THE WORLD MARKET IN A CAPITALIST
GLOBAL ECONOMIC SYSTEM
• A market is both a concrete local structure in which individuals or
firms sell and buy goods, and a virtual institution across space where
the same kind of exchange occurs
• In principle, in a capitalist world-economy the virtual market exists in
the world-economy as a whole
• Myth: there are often interferences with these boundaries, creating
narrower and more "protected" markets.( ex ASEAN overlapping
trade agreements)

• Quest for Free Market
• Myth: One of the reasons it is not a day-to-day
reality is that a totally free market, were it ever to
exist, would make impossible the endless
accumulation of capital.
• A free market would bring down profit levels (Ex: It
takes only USD28 to make a pair of Nike shoes
which sells for USD100)
• Capitalist bat for a free market when they have the
upperhand

• What sellers always prefer is a monopoly which are
extremely difficult to create, and rare, but quasi-monopolies
are not.
• Quasi-monopolies are supported by patent laws. (The
patent laws gives the companies time to establish
themselves in the world market – it protects the capitalist
for a time)

Core-Peripheral State Relations
• Remember: Division of Labor between industrialized North America
and Central America
• Since quasi-monopolies depend on the patronage of strong states, they
are largely located-juridically, physically, and in terms of ownership
within such states. There is therefore a geographical consequence of the
core-peripheral relationship. Core-like processes tend to group
themselves in a few states and to constitute the bulk of the production
activity in such states. Peripheral processes tend to be scattered among a
large number of states and to constitute the bulk of the production
activity in these states.

• The modern capitalist system is unique in the sense that it created political
structures that guaranteed an endless appropriation and accumulation of
surpluses from the poor (or the periphery) to the emerging (or the semi-
periphery) and – in particular – the advanced industrialized (or the core)
countries. It is, however, not just that the periphery is dependent on the core:
the latter’s development is also conditioned on the former. The link between
these groups is provided via trade and financial transactions, and is
organized by a dense web of businessmen, merchants, financial entrepreneurs
and state bureaucrats. Globalization, the product of the long process of capitalist
development, is, therefore, nothing new for world-system analysts; it is simply
the relabelling of old ideas and concepts (Arrighi, 2005).

THE STRUCTURES OF GLOBALIZATION
Susan Strange defines the underlying foundations of the system of the
international political economy into four structures:
1. Production and Trade
2. Money and Finance
3. Security
4. Knowledge and Technology
She describes these structures as “webs” of complex arrangements
consisting of rules, conventions, norms that govern and facilitate the
interactions of state and non-state actors with each other (cited in Balaam and
Dillman, 2014, p. 15).

POST WWII ECONOMIC SYSTEMS
The Bretton Woods Conference (formally known as the United Nations
Monetary and Financial Conference), held at New Hampshire, USA in
July 1944, marked the birth of a new international economic framework.
Delegates from 44 countries agreed on the creation of two
international economic organizations: International Monetary Fund
(IMF) and World Bank or the International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development. These two were called the Bretton Woods institutions.
It also included a third entity, the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade (GATT) which served as the primary global trade organization.
These institutions were known as the Keystone International
Economic Organizations (KIEOs).

INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND
(IMF)
The role of the IMF is to promote global monetary cooperation and
international financial stability. The institution, created in 1945, was
designed to monitor the system of pegged or fixed exchange rates. In
this system, official exchange rate of currencies were related to the
gold and U.S. dollar. (Cohn, 2011)
The IMF provide short-term loans to prevent devaluation and retain
the state’s fixed exchange rate in instances of the temporary balance
of payment deficits.

WORLD
BANK
The World Bank (WB), in comparison to the IMF, was created to grant long-
term loans for the economic development of less developed countries and
reconstruction of war-torn countries in Europe.
The WB is made up of two institutions:
1. International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) -
provides lending to middle-income and credit-worthy low- income countries.
2. International Development Association (IDA)- grants loans to lowest-
income countries.

GATT and WTO
The purpose of GATT was to avoid trade wars by raising protectionist
barriers as witnessed during the interwar period.
While it was effective in liberalizing trade, GATT was unable to address
the expansion of trade in services, investment and intellectual property. It
was also incapable of providing a strong and efficient system for dispute
settlement.
GATT was eventually superseded by a more formal World Trade
Organization (WTO) in 1995 that managed to address these issues.

WORLD ECONOMY PATTERN
• As more and more firms enter the market of the erstwhile
quasimonopoly, there will be "overproduction“ and
consequently increased price Competition thus lowering the
rates of profit,.
• There will be stagnation or recession in the world-economy.
• This shift puts pressure on the wage levels in the processes still
remaining in core zones, and wages threatened to become lower
as well. (Ex. Collapse of textile industry in the PH because of
their relocation to Indo-China or Bangladesh)

• The process of the expansion of the world-
economy when there are quasi-monopolistic
leading industries and contraction in the world-
economy when there is a lowering of the intensity
of quasimonopoly- can be drawn as an up-and-
down curve of so-called A- (expansion) and B-
(stagnation) phases.

Kondratieff Cycle,
• A cycle consisting of an A-phase followed by a B-phase is
sometimes referred to as a Kondratieff cycle,
• Kondratieff cycles have up to now have been more or less
fifty to sixty years in length. Their exact length depends on
the political measures taken by the states to avert a B-phase,
and especially the measures to achieve recuperation from a
B-phase on the basis of new leading industries that can
stimulate a new A-phase.
