Globalization and Interdependence

benefts of globalisation are not equitably and evenly distributed ,

the world based on capitalist system runs with afuence of the rich
countries and impoverishment of the poor countries -the resultant
inequality is the frst challenge of globalisation
Globalization has brought benefts and opportunities for many
people in many parts of the world. owever, many others have
been e!cluded from its positive impact. "!treme poverty remains a
daily reality for more than # billion people who subsist on less than
$# a day. %ore than &'' million people have too little to eat to meet
their daily energy needs.
subsistance of one dollar a day
Inequality between countries and within countries has also
increased and global environmental ris(s have increasingly become
a matter of global concern. )romoting a coherent approach to policy
ma(ing through greater coherence and co-ordination is essential to
ensuring that the benefts of globalization are e!panded and spread
more broadly and that its potentially negative e*ects are
diminished.
institutional mechanism and governance has not been
strengthened with globalisation of information -trade and fnances
-that is the second big challenge of globalisation
globalization of production, fnance and information, among others,
has not been matched by a corresponding reshaping of institutional
mechanisms. +ddressing this institutional and governance gap is
the second great challenge of globalization.
