Globalization as a Social Problem 3502-CPS-17-OG
Globalization is usually defined in terms of the rapprochement, co-dependence and alignment of national societies and local communities in all forms of social life. The aim of the lecture is to show this phenomenon as a process, and to present the main theories and concepts that explain this process. The driving forces of globalization in its current course and opposition forces against it are indicated. Globalization, bringing positive effects, also produces effects, sometimes called side effects, that become social problems on a global scale. Each subsequent crisis clearly shows the negative effects of spontaneous globalization on a global scale. The mechanism for solving these problems is not global. The lecture aims to show how different stakeholders try to participate in solving these problems. In particular, the role of the nation-state and global civil society in solving the problems of globalization is being considered.
