Interdependency and Globalization
Globalization- the increasing interconnectedness of different parts of the world
through common processes of economic, environmental, political and cultural change
Hyperglobalist View- Open markets, free trade, and investments across global
markets allow more people to share in prosperity of the world economy
Skeptical View- Contemporary economic integration is much less significant than it
was when the world was on the gold standard in the 19th century
Transformationalist- Globalization is a long term historical process that is underlain
by crises and contradictions that are likely to shape in all ways
Human Footprint- wherever we have been, we leave a mark ex. Deforestation
Sustainability- Pertains to the interdependence of the economy, the environment, and
social well being
Equity between generations
•
Equity between individuals in a generation
•
Diffusion of HIV
Most cases started in Africa, but not all
•
