Caecilia Johanna Van Peski ( Baraldi, 2012)

• Defined global citizenship “as a moral and ethical disposition
that can guide the understanding of individuals or groups of
local and global contexts ,and remind them of their relative
responsibilities within various communities.”

• Global citizens are the glue which blinds local communities
together in an increasingly globalized word. In Van Pesco’s
words, “Global citizens might be a new type of people that can
travel within these various boundaries and somehow still make
sense of the world”
• Global citizenship does not automatically entail a single attitude and a “1
particular value with globalization.

• They are bound to be multiple futures for multiple globalizations. These

globalizations created enemies because according to one broad view,
globalization failed to deliver its promises. (Cohen, 2006). The so-called bottom
billion lacks infrastructures and has been disenfranchised. The opponents of
globalization blame either Westernization or global capitalism.
THREE APPROACHES TO GLOBAL ECONOMIC
RESISTANCE
TRADE PROTECTIONISM-
• It involves the systematic government intervention in foreign trade
through tariffs and non-tariff barriers in order to encourage domestic
producers and deter their foreign competitors. (McAleese,2007).
• Although there exists a widespread census regarding its inefficiency,
trade protectionism is still popular since it shields the domestic
economy from systemic shocks.
Fair trade

• Fair trade is a different approach to economic globalization, which emerged as a counter

to neoliberal “fair trade” principles (Nicholss and Opal, 2005)

• Fair trade aims at a more moral and equitable global economic system in which, for
instance, price is not set by the market; instead, it is negotiated transparently by both
producers and consumers.

• While it is popular among consumers in the north, it has met only limited acceptance
among producers (Ritzer, 2015). Its ability to supply a mass market and its applicability to
manufacture products are also, doubted.
 Helping the bottom billion (collier, 2007)

• Increasing aid is only one of the many measures that are required.

• International norms and standards can be adapted to the needs of the bottom billion.
The reduction of trade barriers would also reduce the economic marginalization of
these people and their nations.
POLITICAL GLOBALIZATION
• When it comes to dealing with political
globalization, increased accountability (Germain,
2004) and transparency are the key issues.

• All political organizations, at different levels, should

be more accountable for their actions because they
are now surrounded by an “ocean of opacity”
(Holzner and holzner, 2006, p.336

• Increased transparency has been aided by various

mechanisms such as transnational justice systems,
international tribunals, civil society, and particularly
the Transparency International.
RESISTANCE TO
GLOBALIZATION
• Resistance to globalization is multiple, complex,
contradictory, and ambiguous.
• This movement also has the potential to emerge as the new
public sphere, which may uphold progressive values such as
autonomy, democracy, peace, ecological sustainability, and
social justice.
• According to della Porta et al. (2006), the impetus for such a
movement comes from individuals, groups, and organizations
which are oppressed (i.e., self-perception) by globalization
from above (neoliberal economic systems or aggressively
expanding nations and corporations). They seek a more
democratic process of globalization.
The world social forum
• The World Social Forum (WSF) is centered on addressing the lack of democracy
in economic and political affairs (Fisher and Ponniah, 2003). However, the
diversity of elements involved in WSF hinders the development of concrete
political proposals.

• A significant influence on WSF has been that of cyberactivism,, which is based

on the “cultural logic of networking” (Juris, 2005) and “virtual movement,” such
as global huaren.

• In 1998, worldwide rallies condemning the violence were made possible

through the Global Huaren which according to Ritzer (2015) “became an
interesting global watchdog for Chinese interests”.

• Since there is no single globalization, the future is also multi-dimensional. Some

foresee the continuing expansion of globalization both in general as well as in
more specific globalization. Others have a far more pessimistic vision of “Mad
Max” scenarios that could end the current era of globalization (Turner, 2007).
Global citizenship
• In any case, given that there is no world government, the idea of
global citizenship demands the creation of rights and obligations.

• The dynamics of globalization demands the efforts of the whole array

of inter-governmental organizations such as the United Nations and
the World Bank; international NGOs like Greenpeace and Amnesty
International; and the citizen initiatives and community action groups
that reach above the nation-state level like the World Social forum
and Occupy Movement.
