Document Summary

Pay attention to di erence between the process of globalization and the condition of globality. Condition of globality can have positive or negative impacts on the development process in countries. Can we escape from globalization: depends on the theoretical framework being followed. If you"re a neoliberal you"re interested in the shape of globalization and global corporations. This is the opportunity, if they can understand it and enjoy it, do it. The condition of globality or globalization is complicated. Amartya sen says that it"s good to look at di erent scenarios, what can provide bene t is used and what is bad is not used. Transformationalists want to be selective but not opportunists: they only take what can bene t them from the system, they want to understand what is going on. Exp. they argue that there is a lot of opportunity in south-south relationships, why do they always have to depend on the global north.
