GLOBALIZATION

Sumary
We saw first some debates around the globalization, such as the globalists (positive and negative), inter-nationalistics, transformationalists.
After analizing that and after the development of an activity we saw the “old age” and “new age” of globalisation. And understand some aspects of why is globalization bad and good for business, culture and people.
Finally we analyzed the concept of civil society, all the issues involved with it and the historical roots of 1990s corporate-led globalisation resistance. Finally we saw and learn about corporate social responsibilit.

Question
¿Why public services could suffer in countries like India as a result of globalisation?
Some studies said that globalisation had led to lower tariffs, an important source of public revenue. And that means that a decline in tariff leads to less money for the governments to spend on its people and this is a prove of how international financial and trade organisations are affecting economies and societies.
Is known that globalisation had played an important trigger in the buoyant Indian economy - it grew at over 9% in the six months to this September. But it had been given too much credit for the growth, because much of India's early growth came from a change in internal government policies. So we can said that some excess credit was given to external liberalisation rather than internal liberalisation for India's economic growth.
India also gained by its investments in sectors of higher education, which helped the country to reap the benefits of the information technology revolution. Instead India cant face a economic meltdown of the kind experienced by Brazil and Argentina in the past leading to political and social instability, because issues as the volatility in the 1990s in Latin America was related to capital markets instability. The poor took the brunt of the meltdown and bore the cost. The bottom-line is, that India has so far avoided that kind of extremes.
