Economic globalization and social conflicts in developing countries : A qualitative case study on the relationship between economic globalization and social conflicts in Benin and ZambiaWeckström Breidenstein, Regina January 2018 (has links)
Economic globalization is said to promote peace and prosperity while reducing poverty and deter conflicts. Liberal scholars argue that economic globalization is more important than good governance/democracy for deterring conflict, and that the pacifying effects of economic globalization are universal. Dependency theorists on the other hand, argue that economic globalization is only beneficial for the core countries of the world while the periphery countries are being exploited of resources in exchange for instability and inequality. However, if economic globalization is more important than good governance and democracy, why then are there many developing countries with high levels of economic globalization and poverty and conflict? This study set out to examine the relationship between economic globalization and social conflicts in developing countries and found that the likelihood of social conflict increases with higher levels of economic globalization in developing countries.

Previous issue date: 2013-06-26 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The goals of this paper is to analyze how international organizations act as agents for promoting the transnationalization of capital. The approach has hypothesized mechanisms structuring legal, political and economic aimed at engendering global development. The treatment of the problem has as object the UNIDO-United Nations Industrial Development Organization. UNIDO is an international intergovernmental organization linked to the United Nations system, created on November 17, 1966, aiming to promote indutrialização developing countries and economies in transition. The organization emerged in the context in which economic development was seen as synonymous with industrialization (LUKEN, 2009), in this context UNIDO has emerged as a mechanism for discussing the development of developing countries - developing countries and, over time came to play an important role as one of the promoters of private capital in the global economy and relations between developed and developing countries to promote economic development through industrial activities, as well as the introduction of alternative production less harmful to the environment, in trade capacity building, normalization and quality. The goal is to offer developing countries, LDCs - Least Developed Countries and SMEs-Small and Medium Enterprises, conditions inserting them in global markets. To understand their participation in the global development agenda, part is the analysis of their annual reports since 1985, the year he became a specialized agency of the United Nations. The empirical basis of the documentary sources produced by UNIDO prioritized their annual reports, as they bring the synthesis of its activities during the year, although other documents, such as resolutions and reports from the UN and some of its specialized agencies were used. The research encountered several agents and actions through the work of UNIDO sought to unveil its recommendations for countries in the process of industrialization as well as abstracting converges in the midst of a discourse which directs the overall development. By reason of being an organization which originated and is integral to the United Nations, the research highlighted how the development issues were taking up space in the United Nations, contemplating their changes over time has incorporated its meaning other factors, which pervade the purely economic aspects, converging in the last decades of the twentieth century in HDI-Human Development Index, measured by the UNDP-United Nations Development Programme and the turn of the twenty-first century in the MDGs - Millennium Development Goals are objectives that aim to combat extreme poverty by 2015, were highlighted by several organizations, among them the UNIDO. Based on context which originated and is integral and relations with various actors, including nation states, corporations and other private, can be said that UNIDO is participating agents adjustments political, legal, economic and regulations that aim to convergence to global development. / O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar como organizações internacionais atuam como agentes de promoção para a transnacionalização do capital. A abordagem tem como direcionamento a estruturação de mecanismos jurídicos, políticos e econômicos que visem o engendramento do desenvolvimento econômico global, deste modo, a problemática traz como objeto a ONUDI- Organização das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento Industrial. A ONUDI é uma organização intergovernamental internacional ligada ao sistema das Nações Unidas, criada em 17 de novembro de 1966, seu objetivo é promover a indutrialização dos países em desenvolvimento e economias em transição. A organização surgiu no contexto em que o desenvolvimento econômico era visto como sinônimo de industrialização (LUKEN, 2009), neste âmbito, se tornou como um mecanismo de discussão sobre o desenvolvimento dos países em desenvolvimento e, com passar do tempo passou a desempenhar um papel importante, como um dos agentes promotores do capital privado na economia global e das relações entre países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento para a promoção do desenvolvimento econômico por meio das atividades industriais. Para compreensão de sua participação na agenda do desenvolvimento global, parte-se à análise de seus relatórios anuais a partir de 1985, ano em que se tornou uma agência especializada das Nações Unidas. A base nas fontes documentais produzidas pela ONUDI priorizou seus relatórios anuais, pois trazem a síntese das atividades realizadas durante o ano, entretanto outros documentos, como resoluções e relatórios da ONU e de outras agências especializadas foram utilizados. Assim, a pesquisa se deparou com atuação de vários agentes, e por meio da ONUDI procurou-se desvelar suas recomendações para os países no processo de industrialização, e abstrair como se converge em meio a um discurso que direciona ao desenvolvimento econômico global. Deste modo, os três pilares os quais guiam suas ações, como a redução da pobreza, meio ambiente e comércio, procuram introduzir alternativas de produção menos nocivas ao meio ambiente, capacitação comercial, adequação normalizações internacionais e gestão da qualidade nos processos industriais. O objetivo é oferecer aos países em desenvolvimento-PEDs, países menos avançados-PMAs e pequenas e médias empresas- PMEs, condições de inseri-los nos mercados globais. Em razão de ser uma organização integrante do sistema das Nações Unidas, a pesquisa procurou compreender como as questões relativas ao desenvolvimento foram tomando espaço nas Nações Unidas, contemplando alterações que, ao longo do tempo incorporou ao significado do desenvolvimento outras abordagens, que perpassam os aspectos meramente econômicos, convergindo nas últimas décadas do século XX em problemáticas que envolvem a sustentabilidade, IDHs- Índices de Desenvolvimento Humano; e na virada para o século XXI nos ODMs – Objetivos do Milênio que visam o combate à extrema pobreza até 2015 e foram sublinhados por várias organizações, dentre elas a ONUDI. Com base no contexto o qual se originou e é integrante e das relações com vários agentes, entre eles Estados nacionais, empresas e outros agentes privados, pode se dizer que a ONUDI é dos agentes participantes de ajustamentos técnicos, políticos, jurídicos, econômicos que visam à convergência ao desenvolvimento econômico global.

Reformeringen av Arbetsförmedlingen : En kvalitativ studie om marknadisering av offentlig verksamhet / The reform of the Swedish Public Employment Service : A qualitative study about marketisation of a government controlled businessTomasson, Hannes January 2020 (has links)
Marketisation reforms has for a long time been a recurring and debated phenomena, which has recently blossomed by the reform proposal of the Swedish Public Employment Service presented in the so-called “January-agreement”. The aim of this qualitative study is therefor to examine the reform proposal of the Swedish Public Employment Service presented in the “January-agreement” and relate this to marketisation. This will in this study be done by theory consuming of first George Sörensen theory about the impact of globalization on the welfare state, to give a broad view of the cause of marketisation. Then Patrik Halls definition of marketisation within NPM, to explain the meaning and effects of marketisation. And finally, Bo Rothsteins description of the market-equal model, to examine how the creation of legitimacy can be seen as a motive for the reform. The conclusions show that marketisation can describe the reform proposal presented in the January-agreement, which can be seen as a creation of public constructed market with a distinct client focus. Further, the market-equal model shows how the low public confidence for the Swedish Public Employment Service can be seen as a strong motive for some type of marketisation in other to create an increased legitimacy. / Marknadisering har länge varit ett återkommande debatterat ämne, som nyligen blommat upp genom reformförslaget av Arbetsförmedlingen i det så kallade Januariavtalet. Målet med denna kvalitativa studie är därför att förklara och analysera reformförslaget i Januariavtalet och relatera det till marknadisering. Det görs i uppsatsen genom en teorikonsumering av först George Sörensens teori om globaliseringens påverkan på välfärdsstaten, som används för att ge en bredare syn av orsaken till marknadisering. Sedan kommer Patrik Halls definition av marknadisering inom NPM användas för att förklara innebörden och effekterna av marknadisering. Till sist används Bo Rothsteins förklaring av den marknadslika modellen, för att förkalkar hur reformförslaget kan motiveras utifrån en legitimitetsaspekt. Uppsatsens huvudsakliga slutsatser är att marknadisering kan förklara reformförslaget i Januariavtalet, som kan ses som ett skapande av en offentlig marknad med tydligt kundfokus. Utifrån den marknadslika modellen kan Arbetsförmedlingens låga förtroende ses som ett strakt motiv för någon form av marknadisering för att skapa legitimitet.

Formování globální občanské společnosti: reakce na problémy globalizace / Formation of Global Civil Society: Reaction to Problems of GlobalizationNovotná, Naďa January 2011 (has links)
This Master's thesis focuses on the possibilities of a global civil society to reduce the negative consequences of economic globalization. In the opening general part, special attention is given to problems caused by corporate strategies in production in developing countries. The current official mechanisms of corporate accountability are also discussed and considered as insufficient. Some new tendencies to promote the corporate social and environmental responsibility have emerged in recent decades. The agencies of a global civil society have been playing a very important role in these processes. The formation of a global civil society, its ambitions and risks are also studied in the general part of the thesis. The global civil society roles and possibilities of influencing the globalization processes are discussed also from the perspective of relevant theoretical concepts in the theoretical part. The empirical part of the thesis is based on a qualitative analysis of the campaign Business and Human Rights carried out by Czech global civil society organizations. The objective of this campaign is to prevent the corporations from human rights violation. Within the empirical research, the different spatial relations among the global civil society participants are studied, along with the evaluation of the...

L'évolution de la réponse normative de l'OIT en situation de crise économique et financièreBarrault, Marion 08 1900 (has links)
De l’avis de nombreux observateurs, le monde a connu en 2008 une crise économique sans précédent depuis la Grande dépression des années trente. Au premier chef des victimes de ces dérives de l’économie globale figurent les travailleurs du monde entier. Investie depuis 1919 d’un mandat de protection à l’égard de ces derniers, l’Organisation internationale du Travail (OIT) se doit d’être une force de propositions en ces périodes difficiles. La présente étude se propose d’analyser l’évolution des réponses normatives produites par l’OIT au lendemain des crises économiques et financières mondiales depuis sa création. Il s’agira également de mettre en corrélation le degré d’audace de l’Organisation et la composition de la scène internationale qui préside à chacune des époques considérées.
Le premier chapitre sera pour nous l’occasion de montrer comment l’OIT, née dans un contexte de crise économique dans les années vingt puis confrontée en 1930 à une autre crise majeure, a su tirer profit de ces situations qui confirment sa raison d’être et la pousse à s’enquérir de nouvelles compétences (chapitre I).
Nous ferons ensuite étape dans une époque marquée par la prolifération de nouvelles organisations internationales avec lesquelles l’OIT entre en concurrence : l’ère onusienne. Nous verrons comment la position de l’Organisation sur la scène internationale influe sur sa réactivité face aux crises économiques et politiques du moment (chapitre II).
Forts de ces considérations historiques, nous serons enfin à même de comprendre la souplesse normative caractérisant la réaction de l’OIT face à la crise de 2008. Nous serons également en mesure de comprendre comment cette crise historique a modifié l’ordre mondial et influé sur la position de l’Organisation dans l’agencement international (chapitre III). / In the opinion of many observers, the world witnessed in 2008 an unprecedented economic crisis since the Great Depression of the thirties. The primary victims of these gobal economic breakdowns are the workers of the world. Invested since 1919 to a term of protection with respect to the latter, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has to be a vector for proposals in these difficult times. This study aims to analyze the evolution of the normative responses produced by the ILO in the wake of global economic and financial crises since its inception. It will also correlate the Organization's degree of boldness and the composition of the international picture in place over each period considered.
The first chapter will give us the opportunity to show how the ILO, born in a context of economic crisis in the twenties and then facing another major crisis in 1930, has taken advantage of these situations to confirm its raison d'être and has been driven to inquire about new competencies (chapter I).
We will then step in an era marked by the proliferation of new international organizations with which the ILO is in competition: the UN era. We will see how the Organization's position on the international scene affects its responsiveness to economic and political crises of the moment (chapter II).
Instructed on these historical considerations, we will finally be able to understand the normative flexibility characterizing the ILO's response to the 2008 crisis. We will also be able to understand how this historic crisis has changed the world order and has affected the Organization's position in the international layout (chapter III).

Previous issue date: 2009-03-12 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This thesis aims to analyze the need to create new perspectives for society and
law, considering the challenges imposed by the present frame of economic
globalization, characterized by over‐integration and under‐integration. In this
sense, firstly it studies two alternative proposals towards a new global law.
Following this study, it defends the need to rethink such theories, as well as to
insert new variables to the debate, mainly due to the particularities verified in
the peripheral regions of the globe, considering the existing interdependence in
the society. It exposes as well the informationalism as the most evident
characteristic of the contemporary global society, consequently recognizing the
inevitability of the economic globalization and the importance of the
technological innovation in such scenario. Finally, it proposes to re‐evaluate the
priorities set by such social model (and, therefore, by the law), using the arsenal
already formed by the information society towards the construction of a new
knowledge society. We aim to demonstrate that such alternative presupposes
the transfer of the focus from the purely economic achievements in detriment
of the social ones, towards the expansion of the human capacities, evoking,
therefore, the need to adapt the law to this new reality / Este trabalho objetiva analisar a necessidade de criação de novas perspectivas
sociais e do direito, em face dos desafios postos pelo quadro atual de
globalização econômica, marcado pela sobreintegração e subintegração. Deste
modo, primeiramente estuda duas propostas alternativas para um novo direito
global. Em seguida, defende a necessidade de repensar tais teorias, bem como a
de inserir novas variáveis ao debate, notadamente por conta das
particularidades verificadas nas regiões periféricas do globo, dada a
interdependência existente na sociedade. Também expõe o informacionalismo
como a característica mais evidente da sociedade mundial contemporânea,
conseqüentemente reconhecendo a inevitabilidade da globalização econômica e
a importância da inovação tecnológica nesse cenário. Por fim, propõe reavaliar
as prioridades estabelecidas por este modelo social (e, assim, pelo direito),
utilizando o arsenal já formado pela sociedade informacional para a construção
de uma nova sociedade do conhecimento. Procuramos demonstrar que esta
alternativa pressupõe a transferência de enfoque das realizações puramente
econômicas em detrimento das sociais, para a ampliação das capacidades
humanas, evocando, por conseguinte, a necessidade de adaptação do direito à
referida nova realidade

La responsabilité sociale des entreprises pétrolières multinationales / Corporate social responsability of multinational oil companiesLiu, Jingxue 29 June 2015 (has links)
En prenant l’exemple des entreprises pétrolières multinationales, cette thèse tente de clarifier l’état actuel du concept de responsabilité sociale des entreprises, qui, d’un point de vue juridique, relève du « soft law», et à dessiner la frontière entre le « hard law » et le « soft law», dans le but de mettre en lumière la différence entre les fonctions de ces deux types de droit et de dissiper les attentes irréalistes envers le concept de responsabilité sociale des entreprises. S’alignant avec cette logique, les contextes de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises ont d’abord été explorés, y compris l’évolution et les controverses autour de ce concept, ainsi que les instruments qui le sous-tendent et le mettent sur un pied solide, lesquels représentent certaines caractéristiques communes (diversité, flexibilité, inclusion des valeurs pionnières, etc.) pour être acceptés et engagés par les entreprises. Par ailleurs, a aussi été analysée la tendance au durcissement des règles nationales en cette matière, qui peut être constatée dans les pays développés et dans certains pays en développement. Puis, trois sujets, à savoir l’environnement, les droits de l’Homme et la lutte contre la corruption, ont été choisis et traités, pour, d’une part, exposer comment le « hard law » agit sur eux, ses faiblesses tant dans les pays en développement que dans les pays développés, et ses effets sur les performances réelles des entreprises pétrolières multinationales, et, d’autre part, déployer la contribution de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises sur ces thèmes. Enfin, les dynamiques de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises ont été recherchées. Certaines parties prenantes, comme les gouvernements, les investisseurs socialement responsables, les concurrents ou les ONG, ont un potentiel conséquent pour pousser les entreprises pétrolières multinationales à adopter une approche socialement responsable, tandis que certaines parties prenantes, comme les consommateurs responsables, restent un facteur faible pour la prise de décision de ces entreprises. / Examining the example of multinational oil companies, this article tries to make clear the actual situation of the concept of corporate social responsibility, which from legal perspective belongs to soft law, and to draw a line between hard law and soft law, aiming to highlight the difference in functions of these two laws and to dispel unrealistic expectations of corporate social responsibility. Along these lines, this article firstly explores the context of corporate social responsibility, including its evolution, controversies around it, and the underpinning instruments that put it on a solid footing. These instruments represent a couple of common characteristics (diversity, flexibility, inclusion of pioneer values, etc.) that make them accepted by companies as commitment. Furthermore, both developed countries and some developing countries have seen a trend to strengthen national-level rules in this area. Secondly, three subjects, i.e., environment, human rights and anti-corruption, are selected and analyzed to show how hard law functions, its weaknesses in both developing countries and developed ones, and its effects on the actual performance of multinational oil companies, and also to explore what contribution the corporate social responsibility can make. Finally, the dynamics of corporate social responsibility is discussed. Some stakeholders, such as government, socially responsible investors, competitors and NGOs, have great potential to push multinational oil companies to adopt a socially responsible approach, while some other stakeholders, such as responsible consumers, remain a weak factor in the decision-making of these companies.
