Globalization Final Study Guide
Sustainable Development: sustainable “economic” development, long-term economic growth depends on careful stewardship of the natural environment. Resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met for the future
Deterritorialization of Religion: Roy claimed it’s primarily caused by migration, Muslim Ummah (Muslim world–Commonwealth of the Believers) quest for definition, for Islam to fit every culture
Liberalization & The Environment: environmentalists say liberalization = unequal economic growth, resources paying for debt, competition (race to the bottom), increased pollution, unsustainable consumption of resources, political unrest while free traders say trade promotes growth and alleviates poverty = environmental benefits, elimination of trade barriers = inc value of resources, environmental progress is easier to achieve under conditions of prosperity
Global Economy & Disease: global trade (IMF/structural adjustments) reduce gov role in healthcare, unhygienic irrigation/packaging practices/storage/non-indigenous crops more susceptible to indigenous pathogens
Environmental Change and Disease: Climate change-global warming higher temp & precipitation/humidity, water supply-dams ecological changes affect disease vectors (associated w/ inc. malaria), deforestation inc contact humans w/ pathogens/ dec natural predators of disease vectors / inc malaria in stagnant runoff water pools / loss of biodiversity
Jihad & McWorld: dialectical nature, one can’t exist without the other, short run retribalization global jihad against globalization (Babel) vs. long run globalization (Disneyland). Jihad bloody politics of identity exclusion and hatred w/ paternalism and tribalism vs. McWorld consumption and invisible hand rather than common good through democratic institutions, repeal gov regulations
Ethnic Identity: largely fixed during our lives/an identity
