GLOBALIZATION
When coming to use the term "globalization" we usally
refer to a complex economic phenomenon for wich the world as a whole isshould
be could be an unic market, in which there is a exchange of goods-meant as
financial estates, real goods and services-following the rules of mechanism of
demand and supply an fixation of price whereas those variables meet (liberism
and neo-liberism).
Globalizatione,which with is multinational enterprises
and joint ventures can be seen as an internationalization of capitalism, needs,
and in the mean time gives rise to, an increasing omologation in the world-wide
level of the demand of real goods, a standardizazion of
anthropoligical-cultural behaviours, a crisis of the Nation-State and its
sovereignty
It needs an integration in the world-wide level of
activities and targets of enterprises having to supply to always more global
demands but it also having to safety purchasers eventual particular
requirements:"think global, act local", from which the neologism
"glocal".Globaization, which implies delocalization of work, so that the same
work is requested and transported from a place to another in the earth
depending on the convenience, wouldn't be praticable whithout the presence of
quick communications (internet). By the way, it can be in fact noted how just
the informatic techniques, not only making information pass but also determining
and reinforcing demands, make, in their turn, delocalization of virtual work
possible, moving it quickly from a zone to another in the world, always
following the mechanism of demand and supply and price.
Historically speaking, globalization is the last
phase, because it comes after the other, not because it is definitive, of
modernization that, begun with the discovery of America, has passed through
various moments ceracterized by capitalist system, which, in its evolution, has
affirmed it self now and days as the referral standard model against other
possible model.
Unification in the world, by the tendencial point of
view of an unic market, does not delete (many scholars instead think it
favours) disparuties among its areas or those in the single entities: it
happens because economic mechanisms in a liberistic point of view do not depend
on social rebalance not on resources. Just think of actual crisis of Welfare
State, caused by the economic internationalization and the neo-liberism that
distinguishes it.
