Ideas Summary/Explanation
Introduction: The Starbucks and the Shanty - Starbucks and The Shanty are examples
of globalization's effects. Globalization has also given global connection and modernity to the world.
Globalization, on the other hand, develops its own shadow. Starbucks, in my opinion, demonstrates
the effects of global modernism and worldwide connection of globalization. Starbucks locations can
be found in Melbourne, Manila, New York, and New Delhi. All of these locations have the same
appearance and drink menus. We may say that globalization has progressed as a result of this.
However, outside of this sophisticated attractive cafe, things are drastically different because you will
see the underbelly of globalization, which is poverty. A kid beggar in torn clothes and worn-out
footwear can be found in Manila and Delhi. The houses are also made of scrap plywood and
galvanized iron sheets, and they have terrible hygiene, hence the name "Shanty" or "Shanties." They
live in so-called weak states, in which governments are too impoverished, weak, corrupt, and
insecure to meet the basic requirements of their inhabitants. While there are shanties in New York
that are similar to those in New Delhi, the city is also a center of large-scale injustice. Harlem may be
impoverished, yet it lacks a large number of kid laborers. Starbucks and The Shanty could be
compared to the globalization's incompleteness in the global south. The persistence of the local, who
is unable to join in a cosmopolitan culture symbolized by Starbucks, is embodied by the Shanty. The
global south's underdevelopment is preventing it from becoming globalized, demonstrating the
process' intrinsic unevenness. Poverty can be described as backward, not modern, not cosmopolitan,
and not global. Globalization in this manner is unequal. Finally, Starbucks and Shanty are
globalization icons that might be likened to the global south, where global modernity exists but
poverty remains transnational. Additionally, Starbucks and The Shanty are both about the underbelly
of globalization.
Conceptualizing and Defining- Global south are the primary import engage in social and
political action agaisnt Global inequality it describe some terms that we normally think it means that
but there's something more. There are some inequality that cannot be reduce of discussion in state
polictics there are peasants movement that is seen to be disobedient and minor acts of illegal activity
which may lead to a big revolt, as one studies of global south one cannot avoid mention movements
that explicitly or implicitly. Not all of the formal colonial entities are state like aboriginal Australia
despite being a part of wealthy developed state. The process of globalization that places in question
geographically. The increase of global flows and poverty and affluence, an under develop country
might mirror the poverty of the global south. There are 3 solutions here that they analyze despite the
effect of deterriotorializing effect of globalization, first one is we must keep analyzing one fact is
being poor is a much higher chance when born in global south, second solutions for the problems by
globalization by first handling the government financial asset for a better development ect, lastly is
analyzing the states.
Colonialism, Modernity, and the Creation of Global Inequality - The global south
has been the specter and the necessary counterpoint of global modernity as it has been articulated in
various forms. In this ideology, global economic integration is not only inevitable given the rise of
new technologies; it is, more importantly, a normative international goal. Since the global south is a
metaphor for interstate inequality, fluid and evolving, it is not so important to distinguish the term
‘global south’ from its antecedent forms. Francis Fukuyama's much-criticized theory about the ‘end
of history’ manifesting in the complete tri umph of Western capitalism and liberalism turns the West
into the telos of political organization, which all must aspire to. More recently, Thomas Friedman
(2000, 2007) has been articulating global progress in terms of a binary between embracing free trade
and being left behind by the pace of international economic and technological developments. His
conception of this Spirit had a geographical imaginary embedded in it: world history begins in Asia
and finds its apotheosis in Third World poverty emanated from an impulse to universalize Western
social scientific rationality and capitalist doctrines like property rights. There would have been no
civilization had there been no barbarians, no development without underdevelopment, no globalism
without parochial localism, no Lexus without the olive tree. The global south, therefore, continues to
be imagined and re-imagined by those who dominate it even as movements from below reshape these
constructions through resistance. The alternative to the Lexus is stagnation, making injunction to
globalize an imperative in the quest for global modernity. Samuel Huntington's (1996) much-debated
theory of world politics, which claims that a ‘clash of civilizations’ is the main source of conflict in
the post-cold war world, rehashes many of colonial stereotypes associated with so-called backward
civilizations. In both the French and American cases, colonialism was represented in paternalistic
terms, glossing over the violence of the colonial project in the process. In this way, it is the active
negation of the colonialism and its vestiges.
Challenging the Colonial Order- Challenging the colonial order how did the people of the
present-day global South respond to colonialism and other linear visions of modernity? In varying
ways, nonetheless, because the notion solidarity Among colonized states West present from the
beginning of anti colonialism. While socialist internationalism was slow to take up the cause Of
colonized peoples. The union of socialist parties which is now called Social Democrats) that ushered
in the rise of leftwing influence in European politics during the 20th century and they did not
prioritize the struggle of colonized parties and it’s policies because they need to aggressively
advocate or voice out the struggles to be recognized. The end of the second world war was the high
point of decolonization and that the United Nations that international cease to formally divide the
world into civilized and uncivilized nations and it continues more and more countries have
decolonize.
Conclusion: The Global South as New Internationalism - he economic
prescriptions to Greece by Germany and the IMF are same as the "cures" routinely recommended for
countries of the global south. The ills of the global south are being globalized, and the Greeks seem
to also have or share the same struggles that we have. One of the rising discussion of the global south
is global environment which is a threat because of climate change or global warming and it's a global
problems intensify it because more necessary for the people in the north to support alternatives from
the south.
Ideas Summary/Explanation
Asia Pacific and South Asia and the World - The Philippines has bilateral connections
with the Asia Pacific and South Asian regions. Similarly, the Philippines has an outspoken promoter
of regional integration. Despite terrible recollections of the Japanese savagery during their conquest
of the Philippines during World War II, Philippine-Japanese relations were seamless and prosperous
in the early 1990s. Aquino reiterated the Philippines` one-China policy in 1990, although she
retained the right to build commercial and economic relations with Taiwan.
An Externalist View of Globalization = globalization" refers to the increasing
interconnectedness of the world's economy, culture, and people as a result of cross-border commerce
in raw materials and services, technology and investment, and the flow of people and information.
This is an external issue that is being pushed into the area, particularly by the international powers of
the United States, and it is dictating the continuation of a good working relationship with Japan.
Globalization, like other major technical advances, benefits society as a whole while harming
individual sections. Understanding the relative costs and advantages can help you solve difficulties
while keeping your payments lower. Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand
founded the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to foster economic, social, cultural, and
technological cooperation.
Generating Globalization: The Asia Pacific and South Asia as a
Springboard- In today's world politics, two processes appear to be at odds with one
another. The first is globalization's acceleration, which is characterized as global
integration along economic, political, social, and cultural lines. The second factor is
Asia's growing power as a global force. Neither of these processes is perfect; they both
have components of variation, contingency, and uncertainty. Given these general
trends, this essay investigates the relationship between the globalization process and
the Asia Pacific and South Asia regions.
Nearly two years after the start of Asia's economic crisis, the region has begun to
express reservations about globalization's impact on regional societies.
The Anti-Global Impulse: Regional Alternatives to Globalization -Globalization
is the process of bringing people and markets together on a global scale. It makes it
easier for neoliberal capitalist concepts and Western worldviews to spread.
Telecommunications and information technology help globalization by allowing varied
and dissimilar areas to communicate with relative ease. Globalization refers to the
pursuit of traditional liberal or free market principles in terms of economics.
Globalization, on the other hand, includes the social and cultural realms through the
cross-border interchange of ideas, languages, and cultural practices.
antiglobalization is a social movement that arose around the turn of the twenty-first
century in opposition to neoliberal globalization, a globalization model.
Conclusion- Because this chapter focuses particularly on the concept of a region and the way to
understand its relationship to globalization, it has done less to question the category of the region and
the delineation of the region vis-avis other areas of the world. The essay has proposed a view of the
Asia Pacific and South Asia as an object of globalization, a subject of globalization, and an
alternative to globalization. The chapter has chosen breadth over depth and tried to offer a variety of
snapshots of the variety of ways in which to think about globalization in the region. In so doing, it
has also perhaps simplified the possible ways to view the interactions between region and process.
While this may be true, the benefit of this framework has been to disaggregate and illustrate the
different perspectives instead of subsuming them in one whole theoretical approach.
