Answer:
Meaning of Globalisation:
By the term globalisation we mean opening up of the economy for world market by attaining international competitiveness. Thus the globalisation of the economy simply indicates interaction of the country relating to production, trading and financial transactions with the developed industrialized countries of the world.
Accordingly, the term, globalisation has four parameters:
(a) Permitting free flow of goods by removing or reducing trade barriers between the countries,
(b) Creating environment for flow of capital between the countries,
(c) Allowing free flow in technology transfer and
(d) Creating environment for free movement of labour between the countries of the world. Thus taking the entire world as global village, all the four components are equally important for attaining a smooth path for globalisation.
The concept of Globalisation by integrating nation states within the theme work of World Trade Organisation (WTO) is an alternative version of the ‘Theory of Comparative Cost Advantage’ propagated by the classical economists for assuming unrestricted flow of goods between the countries for mutual benefit, especially from Great Britain to other less developed countries or to their colonies. In this way, the imperialist nations gained much at the cost of the colonial countries who had to suffer from the scar of stagnation and poverty.However, the advocates of globalisation, especially from the developed countries purposely limit the definition of globalisation to only three components, i.e., unrestricted trade flows, capital flows and technology flows. They do not want to include the free flow labour within the parameter of globalisation set by them.
According to Stieglitz, Nobel Prize Winner for Economics (2001) and former Chief Economists of the World Bank, “Globalisation is the closer integration of the countries and peoples of the world which has been brought about by the enormous reduction of costs of transportation and communications, and the breaking down of artificial barriers to the flow of goods and services, capital, knowledge, and (to a lesser extent) people across borders.”
Stieglitz is a powerful critique of globalisation and thus clearly pointed out the non-inclusion of fourth parameter of globalisation, i.e., free flow of labour in the present format of globalisation advocated by developed countries.
The World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalisation (WCSDG) set up by ILO has also made some important observations on globalisation. The Commission observed. “The current path of globalisation must change. Too few share in its benefits. Too many have no voice in its design and no influence on its course.”
“We wish to make globalisation a means to expand human well being and freedom, and to bring democracy and development to local communities where people live.” But the advocates of the policy of globalisation argue that globalisation would help the underdeveloped, and developing countries to improve their competitive strength and attain higher growth rates. Now it is to be seen how far the developing countries would gain by adopting the path of globalisation in future.
