What Is Neoliberalism?

Neoliberalism is a policy model—bridging politics, social studies, and economics


—that seeks to transfer control of economic factors to the private sector from the
public sector. It tends towards free-market capitalism and away from government
spending, regulation, and public ownership.

The advantages of transferring government-owned assets to the private sector are increased
efficiency and profits, largely because competition incentivizes innovation and improvement.
The disadvantages of privatization are decreased regulation and government revenue.
Institutions not owned by the government do not directly deliver the government revenue, and
these institutions also have more freedom to pursue their own interests, which may negatively
affect consumers, without government control.

Globalization, at its most basic, means simply the long-term, secular trend towards ever-
greater interpenetration and interdependence of the world's economies. And this is
indeed inevitable. Over the centuries, as production processes have developed and grown
more sophisticated, their linkages have increased

The good side of globalization is all about the efficiencies and opportunities open markets
create. Business can communicate efficiently and effectively with their partners, suppliers, and
customers and manage better their supplies, inventories, and distribution network

Globalization in a broad sense is the process or processes that increase the movement of
people, culture, technology, ideologies and information across the world.

The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank were both created at an


international conference convened in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, United States in

cooperation and development that would lead to a more stable and prosperous global
economy.

The IMF’s mandate. The IMF promotes international monetary cooperation and


provides policy advice and capacity development support to help countries build and
maintain strong economies.

The World Bank’s mandate. The World Bank promotes long-term economic


development and poverty reduction by providing technical and financial support to help
countries reform certain sectors or implement specific projects—such as building
schools and health centers, providing water and electricity, fighting disease, and
protecting the environment.

That while, the Global North represent the economically developed societies of Europe, North
America, Australia, Israel, South Africa, amongst others, the Global South represents the
economically backward countries of Africa, India, China, Brazil, Mexico amongst others. While
Global North countries are wealthy, technologically advanced, politically stable and aging as
their societies tend towards zero population growth the opposite is the case with Global South
countries. While Global South countries are agrarian based, dependent economically and
politically on the Global North, the Global North has continued to dominate and direct the global
south in international trade and politics. Key Words: Human Development, Levels of

advantage of this is that people can become more acceptant of other beliefs, races, languages, and

abaraham Globalization is now an ubiquitous word. We hear and read it everywhere.


Perhaps none of the earlier epochs that have affected the course of humanity were
more spectacular and dramatic than the evolution of a highly interdependent global
society -- a global village or city. The advances in technology, communication systems
and trade have brought about unprecedented developments in the lives of the people
on the globe. However, all these developments have not led to much improvement in
the quality of life. On the one hand, many of the problems faced by humanity remain
unsolved, and on the other, a lot of new problems have emerged. Nobody is sure of the
consequences if the challenges posed by the global phenomena are not met. The
futurologists are yet to predict the shape of things to come.

Individuals. Globalisation affects every aspect of an individual's life including, religion,

Both hunger and obesity are defined differently in different parts of the world. Hunger is generally
defined as inadequate access to food, either because of famine or because of inability to grow or
purchase needed food. Even the most wealthy nations have individuals and families that face
hunger regularly, according to their definitions. Obesity is generally defined as being above the
normal weight for one's age and height, but this too differs among countries. Hunger and obesity are
not mutually exclusive, because obesity may be associated with high intake of fats and sugars, but
not with a balanced diet that could also reflect hunger, due to lack of intake of essential nutrients.
Hunger and obesity may or may not be related to amount one spends on food. They tend to be
linked more to access of food.
