What are the problems in the globalization trend!
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, said it well, "A business man is not elected by the people to do the social welfare. If it does, which he was hoped by shareholders to obtain returns and capital gains and so he has been elected.
(1) In the nation-state within and between the nation-state's social-economic imbalance, and the world's vast areas of the polarization. Great deal of information has been revealed: In the past decade, the world's poorest five countries in the proportion of income share of global revenue from 2.3% to 1.4%. The world's richest family, three more than the sum of the wealth of 600 million population of the least developed countries; we still need more in annual revenue. In the United States, 10% of the richest and the poorest is also a growing gap between the big. In particular, the mid-90s, the U.S. gap between rich and poor is the largest of all developed countries. United States 26.1% of the wealth is concentrated in the richest 10% of the hands, while the poorest 10 percent account for only 1.7% of the wealth.
(2) For the global ecosystem, over-exploitation and destruction, for example, increasing the spread of desertification, land erosion, the extinction of plant and animal species, marine and river pollution. In which TNCs from developed countries to divert the polluted industrial production activities and the use of the transfer of polluting technologies to developing countries, in order to depress wages and force workers to work in adverse conditions, such is the obvious facts.
(3) The concentration of power in virtually without any supervision and control of the hands of a few economic units, such as cross-border and trans-regional companies, the global information and communication networks. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson • that today, 500 companies controlled the third of the world's GNP and three-quarters of global trade, 12 companies will soon control the world food industry. Therefore, she worried that the power is being shifted from the hands of politicians, the board conference room. Moreover, the state power by the global and regional institutions and their rules. Broke the boundaries of transnational economic networks, powerful multinational corporations, as well as representatives of a variety of beliefs and interests of international and regional non-governmental organizations have been in the invasion of a country's territory should be. Have forced a reduction of state power, which for the developing world, especially small and weak countries.
(4) The globalization of trade union rights will be subject to damage. This year in May, the ILO head Juan Somavia in a report • pointed out: "Globalization's 'in a highly competitive world market, the survival of the principle of' will the trade unions and collective bargaining, freedom of association and the right to produce a negative impact. "globalization is causing tensions and reduce the labor of certain rights. As the process of economic globalization, capital flows, a high degree of probability and the internationalization of production, which significantly reduced the content and impact of collective bargaining in order to attract investment. Held in February this year, the United Nations Conference on the non-governmental organizations submitted a joint report says: "Corporate Globalization has led to precarious labor, informal sector workers in frail health are excluded, this trend is spreading rapidly," .
Can be seen from this, not of any value is obtained from the competitive market; traditional economic logic for the people and ecology are ignored for a number of areas; so-called economic rationality does not command the individual and collective life in all areas. We should know that the existence of the free market is to enable investors to make money and maximize profits, rather than to meet national needs or social welfare needs. According to systems theory, the general said: "The whole is greater than its parts." Therefore, the overall approach of adding an individual looking for from the general nature, tend to be misleading, which means that does not mean micro-and macro-variables of the total. For example, everyone is seeking the fastest speed, the overall result will inevitably lead to confusion over road and traffic accidents is more dashing, so in fact haste makes waste. Another example is regardless of environmental pollution, companies seeking to maximize profits only to achieve a result, victims of social and economic difficulties continued to grow, rising unemployment, the majority of people's living standards cannot be improved.
