Book excerpt: The World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization was established as an independent body by the International Labour Organization in February 2002, in light of the unprecedented socio-economic changes implemented by globalisation trends. This report explores how the ILO can help promote the objective that decent work should become a global goal. It examines six broad policy themes related to: national policies to address globalisation; decent work in global production systems; growth, investment and employment; constructing a socio-economic floor; the global economy and the cross-border movement of people; and strengthening the international labour standards system. The report also discusses how the ILO can respond to the Commission's call for the multilateral system to enhance participation and accountability and to make a full contribution to the building of a social dimension for globalisation.

Book excerpt: This book explores the challenges and potential of Fair Trade, one of the world’s most dynamic efforts to enhance global social justice and environmental sustainability through market based social change. Fair Trade links food consumers and agricultural producers across the Global North/ South divide and lies at the heart of key efforts to reshape the global economy. This book reveals the challenges the movement faces in its effort to transform globalization, emphasizing the inherent tensions in working both in, and against, the market. It explores Fair Trade’s recent rapid growth into new production regions, market arenas, and commodity areas through case studies of Europe, North America, Africa, and Latin America undertaken by prominent scholars in each region. The authors draw on, and advance, global commodity and value chain analysis, convention, and social movement approaches through these case studies and a series of synthetic analytical chapters. Pressures for more radical and more moderate approaches intertwine with the movement’s historical vision, reshaping Fair Trade’s priorities and efforts in the Global North and South. Fair Trade will be of strong interest to students and scholars of politics, globalization, sociology, geography, economics and business.

This book was released on 2006-01-19 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Thema: Globalisierung, pol. Ökonomie, Note: 1,3, Universität Kassel (FB 05- Politikwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: HS: politische, soziale und ökonomische Aspekte d. Globalisierung, 11 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Befürworter der Globalisierung argumentieren, dass die weltumspannende kapitalistische Ökonomie den Völkern Wohlstand beschert. Das Gegenteil ist aber der Fall. Die Globalisierung bringt neue Ausbeutungsverhältnisse und Ungleichheiten besonders für Frauen aus Peripheriestaaten hervor. Doch was ist eigentlich Ungleichheit und vor allem: Wie lässt sie sich messen? Für den Soziologen Jan Nederveen Pieterse impliziert der Terminus „globale Ungleichheit“ einen weltweiten Horizont und setzt die „Gleichheit der Menschen“ als Norm (Pieterse 2002, 1024). Dabei entlarvt er allgemeine Annahmen, dass z.B. Ungleichheit in armen Ländern weiter verbreitet sei, als im Westen, als Märchen. Industriestaaten, wie die USA oder Großbritannien, gemessen am Einkommen, haben die größte Ungleichheit zu verzeichnen (vgl. Pieterse 2002, 1025). Doch gibt es auch ungleiche Entwicklungen und Chancen für Männer und Frauen sowohl im „Westen“, wie auch in „Entwicklungsländern“. Diese misst der Gender Development Index (GDI), anhand Daten für Lebenserwartung, Bildungschancen und Einkommen, die geschlechtsspezifisch aufgeschlüsselt werden (Schlussbericht der Enquete Kommission 2002, 310). Es lässt sich so feststellen, dass „[...] in keiner Gesellschaft der Welt [...] Frauen die gleichen Chancen auf ein „gutes Leben“ wie Männer [haben]“ (ebenda, 310). Tatsache bleibt auch, dass Frauen in vielen Ländern der Peripherie trotz, oder wegen der Globalisierung benachteiligt werden, und noch mehr: Diese Entwicklung bringt Gewinnerinnen und Verliererinnen hervor. So scheinen in den letzten zwanzig Jahren sowohl in Südamerika und Asien immer mehr Frauen erwerbstätig geworden zu sein, jedoch meist im informellen Wirtschaftssektor, d.h. oft unterbezahlt und ohne jeglichen Kündigungsschutz. Für höher qualifizierte weibliche Erwerbstätige aus westlichen Industrieländern haben sich neue Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten ergeben, während Arbeitsmigrantinnen aus Südländern u.a. als Hauspersonal im Niedriglohnsektor für eben diese Frauen arbeiten (vgl. Young und Hoppe 2004, 486).[...] [...] Im folgenden Essay werden daher zunächst Probleme der Auswirkungen der ökonomischen und sozialen Umbrüche der letzten Jahre auf Frauen anhand zweier Beispiele (Südamerika und Südkorea) dargestellt. Anschließend wird ein Blick in die Zukunft geworfen und Lösungsansätze vorgestellt. [...] [...]
Book Synopsis No Globalization Without Representation by : Paul Adler
Download or read book No Globalization Without Representation written by Paul Adler and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid the mass protests of the 1960s, another, less heralded political force arose: public interest progressivism. Led by activists like Ralph Nader, organizations of lawyers and experts worked "inside the system." They confronted corporate power and helped win major consumer and environmental protections. By the late 1970s, some public interest groups moved beyond U.S. borders to challenge multinational corporations. This happened at the same time that neoliberalism, a politics of empowerment for big business, gained strength in the U.S. and around the world. No Globalization Without Representation is the story of how consumer and environmental activists became significant players in U.S. and world politics at the twentieth century's close. NGOs like Friends of the Earth and Public Citizen helped forge a progressive coalition that lobbied against the emerging neoliberal world order and in favor of what they called "fair globalization." From boycotting Nestlé in the 1970s to lobbying against NAFTA to the "Battle of Seattle" protests against the World Trade Organization in the 1990s, these groups have made a profound mark. This book tells their stories while showing how public interest groups helped ensure that a version of liberalism willing to challenge corporate power did not vanish from U.S. politics. Public interest groups believed that preserving liberalism at home meant confronting attempts to perpetuate conservative policies through global economic rules. No Globalization Without Representation also illuminates how professionalized organizations became such a critical part of liberal activism—and how that has affected the course of U.S. politics to the present day.

Book Synopsis Globalization and Its Discontents by : Joseph E. Stiglitz
Download or read book Globalization and Its Discontents written by Joseph E. Stiglitz and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2003-04-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerful, unsettling book gives us a rare glimpse behind the closed doors of global financial institutions by the winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics. When it was first published, this national bestseller quickly became a touchstone in the globalization debate. Renowned economist and Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz had a ringside seat for most of the major economic events of the last decade, including stints as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and chief economist at the World Bank. Particularly concerned with the plight of the developing nations, he became increasingly disillusioned as he saw the International Monetary Fund and other major institutions put the interests of Wall Street and the financial community ahead of the poorer nations. Those seeking to understand why globalization has engendered the hostility of protesters in Seattle and Genoa will find the reasons here. While this book includes no simple formula on how to make globalization work, Stiglitz provides a reform agenda that will provoke debate for years to come. Rarely do we get such an insider's analysis of the major institutions of globalization as in this penetrating book. With a new foreword for this paperback edition.

Book excerpt: This collection of papers examines key trends in the internationalisation of employment, drawing on the proceedings of an ILO conference held in Annecy, France in April 2005. The papers focus on three related issues: the impacts of trade and investment abroad, including the offshoring of production of goods and services, and effects on the winners and losers in terms of employment; adjustment methods for coping with the short and medium term problems related to the globalisation of employment; and the importance of international instruments to help ensure a level playing field in trade and promote development, drawing on established rights and international labour standards.
Book Synopsis Why Globalization Works by : Martin Wolf
Download or read book Why Globalization Works written by Martin Wolf and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2005-06-10 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful case for the global market economy The debate on globalization has reached a level of intensity that inhibits comprehension and obscures the issues. In this book a highly distinguished international economist scrupulously explains how globalization works as a concept and how it operates in reality. Martin Wolf confronts the charges against globalization, delivers a devastating critique of each, and offers a realistic scenario for economic internationalism in the future. Wolf begins by outlining the history of the global economy in the twentieth century and explaining the mechanics of world trade. He dissects the agenda of globalization’s critics, and rebuts the arguments that it undermines sovereignty, weakens democracy, intensifies inequality, privileges the multinational corporation, and devastates the environment. The author persuasively defends the principles of international economic integration, arguing that the biggest obstacle to global economic progress has been the failure not of the market but of politics and government, in rich countries as well as poor. He examines the threat that terrorism poses and maps the way to a global market economy that can work for everyone.
