Challenges of Globalization
Author: Marika Lerch
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351529625
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
"Globalization has been the ""buzzword"" in international political and academic discourse since the 1990s. It is used as a general descriptor of a world in which borders are becoming less and less important, while transnational flows of capital and goods, but also of ideas and people, cultural norms and values, crime, war, and viruses are increasing.If globalization's dynamics are to be fully understood, a reasonable critique is to be formulated, and realistic political proposals to meet the challenges of globalization are to be developed, this complex phenomenon must be dissected. Challenges of Globalization brings together prominent authors of different national backgrounds. They look beyond the buzzword to provide a genuinely ""global"" view of globalization. The editors' introduction provides a ""roadmap"" through the globalization debate and shows the connections between the different aspects covered in detail in the various contributions.This volume deals with two major issues: first, the economic, societal, ecological, and political consequences of globalization, including--but also going beyond--the identification of globalization's ""winners and losers"" worldwide; and second, solutions that have emerged from the current political debate to cope with the various challenges. These include the creation of new global governance structures, fostering a ""global civil society"" that might enhance the democratic legitimacy of global governance, and strategies to be implemented at national and regional levels, allowing states to adapt in ways that make liberalization compatible with development in poor countries and enable the rescue of the welfare state in rich countries.Challenges of Globalization serves as a multi-dimensional and accessible introduction to the globalization debate, and will be of particular interest to academics, policymakers, and international agencies."

No Ordinary Disruption
Author: Richard Dobbs
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1610397622
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Our intuition on how the world works could well be wrong. We are surprised when new competitors burst on the scene, or businesses protected by large and deep moats find their defenses easily breached, or vast new markets are conjured from nothing. Trend lines resemble saw-tooth mountain ridges. The world not only feels different. The data tell us it is different. Based on years of research by the directors of the McKinsey Global Institute, No Ordinary Disruption: The Four Forces Breaking all the Trends is a timely and important analysis of how we need to reset our intuition as a result of four forces colliding and transforming the global economy: the rise of emerging markets, the accelerating impact of technology on the natural forces of market competition, an aging world population, and accelerating flows of trade, capital and people. Our intuitions formed during a uniquely benign period for the world economy -- often termed the Great Moderation. Asset prices were rising, cost of capital was falling, labour and resources were abundant, and generation after generation was growing up more prosperous than their parents. But the Great Moderation has gone. The cost of capital may rise. The price of everything from grain to steel may become more volatile. The world's labor force could shrink. Individuals, particularly those with low job skills, are at risk of growing up poorer than their parents. What sets No Ordinary Disruption apart is depth of analysis combined with lively writing informed by surprising, memorable insights that enable us to quickly grasp the disruptive forces at work. For evidence of the shift to emerging markets, consider the startling fact that, by 2025, a single regional city in China -- Tianjin -- will have a GDP equal to that of the Sweden, of that, in the decades ahead, half of the world's economic growth will come from 440 cities including Kumasi in Ghana or Santa Carina in Brazil that most executives today would be hard-pressed to locate on a map. What we are now seeing is no ordinary disruption but the new facts of business life -- facts that require executives and leaders at all levels to reset their operating assumptions and management intuition.

Gridlock
Author: Thomas Hale
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745670105
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
The issues that increasingly dominate the 21st century cannot be solved by any single country acting alone, no matter how powerful. To manage the global economy, prevent runaway environmental destruction, reign in nuclear proliferation, or confront other global challenges, we must cooperate. But at the same time, our tools for global policymaking - chiefly state-to-state negotiations over treaties and international institutions - have broken down. The result is gridlock, which manifests across areas via a number of common mechanisms. The rise of new powers representing a more diverse array of interests makes agreement more difficult. The problems themselves have also grown harder as global policy issues penetrate ever more deeply into core domestic concerns. Existing institutions, created for a different world, also lock-in pathological decision-making procedures and render the field ever more complex. All of these processes - in part a function of previous, successful efforts at cooperation - have led global cooperation to fail us even as we need it most. Ranging over the main areas of global concern, from security to the global economy and the environment, this book examines these mechanisms of gridlock and pathways beyond them. It is written in a highly accessible way, making it relevant not only to students of politics and international relations but also to a wider general readership.

Emerging Trends in Global Organizational Science Phenomena
Author: Gerald R. Ferris
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781536195507
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 737
Book Description
"Scholars worldwide have studied attitudes and behavior in work organizations for decades, and they have accumulated vast amounts of knowledge regarding such phenomena in many different contexts around the world. Interestingly, scholars in different countries adopted a largely domestic orientation regarding the issues and concepts they studied, focused mainly on their own countries, thus begging the question of whether such results of research extended or generalized to other parts of the world. In the United States, for example, scholars were only jolted into developing a much broader perspective about four decades ago when they realized that the U.S. could not just take an insular, domestic economy focus, but that organizations in the U.S. were operating in a global economy, and needed to better understand foreign competition and how behavioral phenomena in organizations operate in countries outside of the U.S. Emerging Trends in Organizational Science Phenomena: Critical Roles of Politics, Leadership, Stress, and Context is a collection of 32 original chapters, reporting on research conducted around the world by scholars in many different countries in efforts to bring to bear a greater collective comprehension of how people in work organizations around the world think, feel, and behave. We are living and functioning in very interesting times where the world is shrinking in perspective, and we as organizational scholars need to acknowledge these changing times in our research orientation. We believe this book is a decisive step in the direction promoting the global organizational sciences. We believe our Emerging Trends book can be of great use to several different audiences. First, as organizational scientists, we see this book as being of great interest and use to other scholars studying organizational science phenomena, as they plan and conduct their own research. Also, we see this book being useful in classroom settings for Ph.D. seminars, and even special courses in Organizational Behavior and Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Because most of the chapters in this book spend considerable time discussing the practical implications of the results provided, we also see the book being of use in MBA and executive educations classes. Overall, we hope you enjoy the collection of original chapters we have put together in this book, and that it provides a useful addition for both science and practice of phenomena in the organizational sciences"--
