Chapter 1 Section 4

Globalisation: international exchange of people, goods, money, and information

What does this mean:
"The world is shrinking"

Causes of Globalisation

1. MNO (multinational corporation)

2. Trade barriers disappear

3. Modern means of communication

1. Dutch MNO's

MNO's

MNOs are moving to low-wage countries.

Important: work, knowledge and money.

As a result, the economic center of gravity is slowly shifting towards China.

Waarom daar? 

 (MNO's)

Centrum	Semi- periferie
Advertisement	Assembly
Design	Making parts
improving techniques

2. Open Borders

E.g. European Union: free movement of persons and goods

3. De wereld "krimpt"

The patterns of the world system are changing

core, semi-periphery, periphery

Core, semi-periphery and periphery form a world system.

Globalization changes two things in the world system after 1980.

1 The role of the Core, semi-periphery and periphery.

The periphery supplies raw materials, semi-finished products and end products.

 

The processing of raw materials goes from the core to the semi-periphery or periphery

2. Prosperity is shifting --> economies in China and India are growing rapidly.

The problem with globalization is that not everyone benefits equally from the wealth.

How is that possible?

- Countries without raw materials do not benefit.

- Even within rich countries there are people who have become poorer rather than richer
