Blog4 :Relationship between the economy and globalization----------SHAO TIANYI

There is a close interaction between the economy and globalization. Globalization refers to the wider and faster movement and integration of goods, services, capital, information and labour across the globe. The economy is one of the core drivers of globalization, and it is also the main area of its impact. The relationship between the two can be analyzed in the following ways:  



1. Globalization for economic growth and development

Market expansion: Globalization has allowed countries to move away from domestic economic activity, allowing companies to export their products and services to the world for greater market size.  

Optimization of resource allocation: Globalization improves productivity and resource utilization by enabling countries to focus on what they do best based on their comparative advantages through an international division of labour.  

Technology diffusion and innovation: Globalization has accelerated technological innovation and economic development, especially through transnational corporations, international investment and trade in intellectual property.  

Capital flows: Cross-border investment and the opening of the international financial system provide developing countries with additional sources of capital, thus promoting infrastructure construction and industrial upgrading.  




2. The economy is the main driver of globalization

Expansion of the market economy: With the globalization of the market economy, economic cooperation and interdependence among countries have gradually strengthened, providing the basis for globalization.  

The role of TNCs: TNCs drive globalization through investment, mergers and acquisitions and supply chain layout. These businesses connect markets and labor in different countries through a global network.  

Trade liberalization: The emergence of international organizations, such as the WTO, and the signing of free trade agreements have contributed to the reduction of tariff barriers and the opening of market access worldwide.  




3. Impact of Globalization on the Economy: Pros and Cons

positive effect

Improving economic efficiency: Through the international division of labor, countries can use resources more efficiently and achieve greater economic output.  

Improving living standards: Consumers benefit from increased diversity and lower prices of goods and services.  

Promoting global collaboration: Economic cooperation among countries reduces the risk of war and strengthens global political and economic stability.  


Negative effects  

Economic inequality: The benefits of globalization are not evenly distributed between or within countries, resulting in widening disparities between the rich and the poor.  

Economic vulnerability: Globalization has made economies interdependent, and disruptions in global supply chains, such as during outbreaks, can lead to systemic risks.  

Environmental issues: Economic globalization has led to increased resource consumption and pollution output, and environmental costs have increased.  




4. Balance between economic globalization and national economic policy 

The balance between openness and protection: Economic globalization encourages openness, but over-reliance on international markets can lead to a decline in control of the domestic economy, and countries need to find a balance between openness and protection.  

Localization and the integration of globalization: Some countries combine the advantages of globalization with local needs through a "globalization" strategy to develop industries with local characteristics.  

The rise of the digital economy: With the development of digital technology, the digital economy is reshaping the pattern of globalization, and countries need to adapt their policies to this change.  




5. Future trends of economic globalization

Regionalization Trends: In recent years, globalization has been characterized by regionalization in some regions, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) in the Asia-Pacific region.  

Globalization of the green economy: As the problem of climate change intensifies, future economic globalization may focus more on environmental protection and sustainable development.  

Technology-led globalization: Technological changes, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, will further drive the depth of economic globalization.  


Conclusions

There is a two-way interaction between the economy and globalization. Globalization has created a wider space for economic development, and the expansion of economic activities has contributed to the deepening of globalization. However, while enjoying the growth dividends of globalization, countries also need to pay attention to the inequalities and risks it may bring in order to achieve sustainable global economic development.

1. Summary Scientific method is a method of acquiring knowledge, a systematic mode of thinking and a means of research, which is used to solve problems, explore laws and test theories. The key processes include observing phenomena, constructing hypotheses, planning experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and summarizing conclusions. The scientific method focuses on proof and repeatability, using experiments and observations to test hypotheses during research, and adjusting or confirming theories based on data. 2. Mention of new, interesting The debate between postmodernism and modernism has been going on for a long time, and they have done a lot of research to carry out this debate. Although this problem has been solved with the efforts of scientists, it also shows that the development of anything is not static, and only continuous exploration can make better progress. 3. Discussion As the scientific method has evolved over the centuries to become authoritative, are there othe...

  summarize The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories. The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories. About the points I learned 1. The scientific method is based on careful observation and rigorous skepticism. This means that scientists should not readily accept any ideas or assumptions, but should always question and think critically about observational data. 2.Scientific inquiry is not merely the pursuit of truth, but the process of shedding inhibited skepticism and establishing reliable beliefs.

 Summary: Social stratification is a multidimensional concept encompassing the impact of factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and occupation on individuals' social status. In modern Western societies, social stratification is typically divided into upper class, middle class, and lower class, with each class further subdivided into smaller categories. Social stratification is not only about quantitative inequalities but also involves beliefs and attitudes toward social status. Within complex social structures, there exist various stratification phenomena, with the most privileged individuals and families enjoying disproportionate access to income, power, and other social resources. Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals, social groups, or populations between or within layers of the stratification system. Open stratification systems allow for mobility between individuals, whereas closed systems have minimal mobility, with social status often remaining uncha...
