It means that while we participate globally, we still need to support our own economy.

Teacher

Correct! Think of 'CORE': 'C' for Community, 'O' for Opportunities, 'R' for Resilience, and 'E' for Economic growth. A strong domestic economy can weather global economic challenges.

Student 4

So if we strengthen our 'CORE', we won't be too dependent on other countries?

Quick Overview

Sustainable globalization focuses on promoting inclusive economic growth while safeguarding local industries and the environment.

Standard

This section discusses the two main objectives of sustainable globalization: ensuring inclusive economic growth and protecting local industries and employment, alongside environmental sustainability. It emphasizes the need for a strong domestic economy, even while countries engage in global integration.

Detailed

Sustainable Globalization

Sustainable globalization embodies the aspiration for global integration that is both inclusive and protective of local economies and environments. It stresses four cardinal points:

  1. Promote Inclusive Growth: To achieve economic growth that benefits all layers of society, not just the affluent segments.
  2. Protect Local Industries and Employment: Safeguarding jobs and industries that are critical to local economies against the adverse effects of globalization, such as deindustrialization or competition from cheaper imports.
  3. Ensure Environmental Sustainability: Implementing practices that foster both economic and environmental health, recognizing the limits of natural resources and the necessity for protection against degradation.
  4. Strengthen Domestic Economy Alongside Global Integration: Maintaining robust local economies while still participating in the global marketplace, ensuring that global ties do not lead to excessive dependency or vulnerability.

By embedding these principles, nations can harness the benefits of globalization while mitigating its drawbacks, paving the way for a balanced and resilient global economy.

● Promote inclusive growth

Detailed Explanation

Promoting inclusive growth means ensuring that the benefits of globalization reach all sections of society, not just a privileged few. This involves creating opportunities for everyone to benefit economically, socially, and politically. Inclusive growth aims to reduce inequality and provide equal access to resources and opportunities.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine a farmer's market where everyone has the chance to sell their produce. If only a few large farmers were allowed to sell, it would limit variety and increase prices. But when small farmers can participate, everyone benefits from a range of products at better prices.

● Protect local industries and employment

Detailed Explanation

This point emphasizes the importance of safeguarding local businesses and jobs from the pressures of globalization. Local industries might struggle to compete with large international companies that can offer cheaper products. Therefore, measures must be taken to support local enterprises, helping to preserve jobs and community livelihood.

Examples & Analogies

Think about a small bakery in your neighborhood. If a big chain bakery opens up nearby, they might sell similar products at lower prices. To protect the local bakery, the community might choose to support it by buying from it regularly, ensuring that it can stay open and continue providing jobs.

● Ensure environmental sustainability

Detailed Explanation

This means making sure that the processes and practices associated with globalization do not harm the environment. As businesses expand globally, they can have significant impacts on natural resources and ecosystems. Sustainable globalization promotes practices that protect the environment, ensuring that economic growth does not compromise ecological health.

Examples & Analogies

Consider how a community decides to plant trees instead of cutting them down for new buildings. By ensuring that the environment is protected, they can maintain clean air and a beautiful landscape, which ultimately benefits everyone.

Strengthen Domestic Economy Alongside Global Integration

● Strengthen domestic economy alongside global integration

Detailed Explanation

Strengthening the domestic economy means enhancing the local factors that boost economic growth, such as businesses, workforce skills, and technology, while also engaging with global markets. This balance is crucial because a strong domestic economy can better withstand global pressure and benefit from international opportunities.

Examples & Analogies

Think of a sports team that trains hard to improve its skills while also participating in international tournaments. By focusing on their training (strengthening the domestic economy), they perform better against global competitors and learn new tactics.
