From globalization to deglobalization: Zooming into trade. Bruegel Special Report
After decades of increasing globalization both in trade, capital flows but even people to people movements, it seems the trend has turned
towards deglobalization. This article shows some evidence of the decrease in merchandise, capital and, to a lesser extent people to people
flows. In addition, zooming into trade, the article offers an account of the importance of the strategic competition between the US and
China to foster the deglobalization trend further. This is true for trade but even beyond in the tech and finance space. Finally, the demise
of the WTO could be one of the most relevant turning points towards deglobalization, especially as far as trade is concerned. This should
bring downward pressure to growth globally
Globalization
[Excerpt] While the chapters in the previous section examined employment relations in different national contexts, in this chapter we focus on employment relations in the international or global context. We begin by outlining different perspectives on globalization and examine how globalization has evolved over time. Based on this discussion, we provide a definition of globalization which best accounts for contemporary patterns of global interdependence. We then provide a brief overview of the arguments for and against globalization and discuss the implications that economic globalization presents for employment relations
Do Elections Slow Down Economic Globalization Process in India? It's Politics Stupid!
I investigate whether timing of the elections impact economic globalization process or not in India. In other words, do elections slowdown economic globalization process? The theoretical underpinning is that, policies of economic globalization lead to economic and social hardships in short run but benefit the economy in the long run. The motto behind slowing down the economic globalization process before elections is that it leads to polarization of voters and thus negatively affects the incumbent government. I make use of Axel Dreherís economic globalization index and construct ëinstrumental electoral cycleí to capture the scheduled and midterm election cycle. Using time series data for India for the period 1970 ñ 2006, I find that scheduled elections are associated with slow down in economic globalization, whereas midterm elections are not. Replacing Dreherís economic globalization index with our modified globalization index does not alter the results. I also find that slow down in economic globalization process is responsive to the propinquity to a scheduled election year. Meaning, as incumbent government nears the scheduled elections, economic globalization process keeps slowing down, while this is exactly opposite during the early years of incumbent government in office. These results suggest that elections generate ìelectoral globalization cycleî in developing democratic country like India.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/64406/1/wp929.pd
Virtual University And Globalisation
Globalization as an inevitable process in the twenty-first century in economic, political and cultural dimensions creates changes in education and higher education. Virtual universities have important role in globalization. It is clear that globalization in higher education can affect on other area same economic, culture and etc. Virtual university with special programs and use of information and communication technology (ICT) can show the impact of globalization on society, the economy, and the world system. At virtual universities there are international programs that extend globalization. Globalization requires the existence and development of an advanced information and communications infrastructure. And at virtual university that is new phenomenon in new age we can provide these infrastructures. Also, globalization requires a different education that enhances the ability of learners to access, assess, adopt, and apply knowledge, to think independently to exercise appropriate judgment and to collaborate with others to make sense of new situations. In this paper researcher want to show the impact of keys factors at virtual university on the globalization.

Globalization Report 2016: Who Benefits Most from Globalization? Bertelsmann Policy Brief #2018/02
The globalization report appears regularly and sets an
authoritative standard for the comprehensive analysis
of current globalization issues and global economic
development. The 2016 globalization report comes in two
parts. Building on the previous report, the first part focuses
on the question of to what extent different countries have
benefited from globalization in the past and to which
degree this is possible in the future. The second part
analyses the export performance and the development of
the international competitiveness of 42 globally important
economies.
The first part of the investigation creates a globalization
index which takes into account the economic, political and
social aspects of globalization. Subsequently, the index data
are used, together with a regression analysis, to quantify and
compare the impacts on growth caused by globalization in
the various countries. Then the country is identified which
has achieved the most growth as a result of globalization
Is There Electoral Cycles in Globalization Process? Evidence From 78 Democratic Countries, 1975-2006
I investigate whether timing of the elections impact globalization process or not in democratic countries across the globe. In other words, do elections slowdown globalization process? The theoretical underpinning is that, globalization process lead to economic and social hardships in short run but benefit the economy in the long run. The motto behind slowing down globalization process before elections is that it leads to polarization of voters and thus negatively affects the incumbent government. I make use of Axel Dreherís comprehensive globalization index as proxy for overall globalization process; economic globalization index for economic globalization policies and restrictions index as proxy for removal of trade and financial restrictions. I then construct ëinstrumental electoral cycleí to capture the scheduled and midterm election cycle. Using cross-sectional time series data for 78 democratic countries for the period 1975 ñ 2006, I find that scheduled elections are associated with slow down in all the three forms of globalization process, whereas midterm elections are not. Replacing all three Dreherís indices with our modified indices does not alter the results. I also find that slow down in globalization process is responsive to the propinquity to a scheduled election year. Meaning, as incumbent government nears the scheduled elections, globalization process keeps slowing down, while this is exactly opposite during the early years of incumbent government in office. These results suggest that elections generate ìelectoral globalization cycleî in democratic countries.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/64400/1/wp931.pd
Globalizations for partial (co)actions on coalgebras
In this paper, we introduce the notion of globalization for partial module
coalgebra and for partial comodule coalgebra. We show that every partial module
coalgebra is globalizable exhibiting a standard globalization. We also show the
existence of globalization for a partial comodule coalgebra, provided a certain
rationality condition. Moreover, we show a relationship between the
globalization for the (co)module coalgebra and the usual globalization for the
(co)module algebra.Comment: 31 page
