The Asymmetries of Globalization or the Tyranny of Reification

Ibn Khaldun's account on history has stimulated the epistemological orientation of many Muslim as well as Western scholars. In particular, we can argue that his pioneer critical study of history of the pre-Modern world (14th century) created remarkable impulses in Hegel’s and, later, Marx’s thought. Indeed, both of them have worked out a theory to explain historical development as a dynamic process. Significantly, Ibn Khaldun’s work laid down the foundations of several fields of knowledge, including sociology and economics. Despite the fact that the Islamic philosopher has not become a dominant figure inside modern academic circles, his analytical study is considered as a lucid and accurate exposition of factors contributing to the development of civilization and the causes of decline. According to Zahoor (1996), four essential points in the study and analysis of history occurred in Ibn Khaldun's critical insights:• relating events to each other through cause and effect,• drawing analogy between past and present,• taking into consideration the effect of the environment,• taking into consideration the effect of inherited and economic conditions• In fact, Ibn Khaldun’s conception can be pressed further as his four points present and schematize with precision the trends of modern globalization. It is possible, then, to discern a certain progression in our understanding of the relations, for instance, between economic conditions and the effect of the environment. Following Ibn Khaldun’s theoretical framework, i

Les asymétries de la globalisation ou la tyrannie de la réification

La manière avec laquelle Ibn Khaldun aborde l’histoire a influencé l’orientation épistémologique de beaucoup de savants et chercheurs musulmans et occidentaux. Plus particulièrement, nous pouvons affirmer que son étude critique d’avant-garde du monde pré-moderne (14e siècle) a contribué à faire avancer de façon remarquable la pensée de Hegel et plus tard celle de Marx. En effet, tous les deux sont les instigateurs d’une théorie, qui explique le développement historique en tant que processus dynamique. Le travail d’Ibn Khaldun a jeté les bases de divers domaines de connaissance de façon significative incluant la sociologie et l’économie. Malgré le fait que le philosophe musulman ne soit pas devenu une figure dominante dans les cercles académiques, son étude analytique est considérée comme un exposé lucide et juste des facteurs ayant contribué au développement de la civilisation et les causes de son déclin. Selon Zahoor (1996), quatre points essentiels dans l’étude et l’analyse de l’histoire apparaissent dans la pensée critique d’Ibn Khaldun:• relier les événements les uns aux autres à travers une relation de cause à effet,• dresser une analogie entre le passé et le présent,• prendre en considération l’effet de l’environnement,• prendre en considération l’effet des conditions préexistantes ainsi que des conditions économiques

At the global level and in particular the European level, challenges related to climate change and the transition to green transactions have created an imperative where identifying or developing innovative financial instruments, appropriate for these priorities, have become our research priorities and objectives. Starting from the analysis of the European Investment Plan for green transactions, as well as the EU Directive 2018/410 of the European Parliament and of the Council, in conjunction with ongoing efforts to identify innovative financing tools, research is presented based on hypotheses using concepts and models of green financing. The paper aims to analyze the main concepts and phenomena that could be considered generative factors for current financial market trends, as well as the inventory of facts and acts that provide a picture of the financial market. Based on these investigations, this paper suggest how we can best analyze the economic environment, processes, and resources in terms of their predictions regarding the sustainability of financial markets in the context of current challenges. Moreover, our paper aims to highlight in our empirical research the above-mentioned aspects, including the analysis of the emergence of new financial instruments at the global level with a direct impact on financial sustainability at the European level, including reflecting certain particularities of financial markets Romania. This research will be both a scientific contribution to the specialized literature and a possible support tool for the practical activities of entrepreneurs in their economic endeavor of developing sustainable businesses
