virtuefoundation.org

2. Characteristic features of globalization in international relations
Process of many levels, meanings and „faces”
Based on international economical and trade policy of the states
Unlimited flow of knowledge, technology, information, capital and services
States are no longer the only actors on international scene (organizations, coprorations)
Makes the world smaller and more unified

4. HYPERGLOBALIZERS Globalization: New era in the world
Based on economical changes
Reaches all the people
Global market place
Kenihi Ohmae

5. HYPERGLOBALIZERS
In the present era we observe an existence of a single global economy integrating the world's major economic regions.
Today it is global finance and corporate capital, rather than states, which influence organization, location and distribution of economic power and wealth.

6. HYPERGLOBALIZERS
Authority of states is territorially bound  global markets can escape effective political regulation.
In borderless economy, states have to accommodate global market forces.
Multilateral institutions of global economic surveillance, especially the G7, IMF, World Bank and WTO, function to manage this growing 'global market civilisation'.

7. HYPERGLOBALIZERS In this 'runaway world' nation states can no longer
effectively manage or regulate
their own national economies

ENTHUSIASTS
PRO globalists
RADICALS
ANTI globalists

9. SCEPTICS Globalization: New era – myth
Another step in the process of economical development
Based on the regionalization into 3 major blocks: Europe, Asia – Pacific, North America
Paul Hirst

10. SCEPTICS There is an intensification of international interdependence
BUT
the intensity of global interdependence is exaggerated
Globalization is a phenomenon connected to the richest countries.

11. SCEPTICS There is no unified global economy
The world is breaking up into several major economic and political blocs
Too much emphasis on footloose capital and a new global capitalist order
The end of state – overstated

12. TRANSFORMATIONALISTS
Globalization:
Main force of changes
on political, economical
and social levels
New world order
which needs some
adaptation and
transformation
Anthony Giddens

13. TRANSFORMATIONALISTS
Globalization determines new international order
International relations are influenced by globalization
States have to adjust their role to the new situation
New institutions come into picture and new regulations must be applied

14. 3 schools of thought – summary
1. Hyperglobalizers  one single global economy; end of state
2. Sceptics  3 major economical regional blocs; states less important
3. Transformationalists  new international order; states still important and in control of ecomomy

15. Always two major attitudes:
PRO globalization
ANTI globalization
Sometimes a third attitude:
ALTER globalization

the world development

find the future of international relations
It is a time of new world order adjusted to
new situations
