The document discusses global economy and sustainable development. It begins by defining global economy as the interconnected worldwide economic activities between countries that can have positive or negative impacts. It then discusses two types of economic globalization - protectionism and trade liberalization. Key factors affecting the global economy are also outlined such as natural resources, infrastructure, and technology. Sustainable development is then defined as economic development without compromising environmental quality for future generations. The four dimensions of sustainable development - society, environment, culture, and economy - are interrelated. Achieving sustainability requires balancing environmental, societal and economic concerns for improved quality of life.

4. What is Global Economy?
Global Economy is one giant entity.
It is all the economy of the world, the economy of every
country which we consider together as one giant
economic system. It includes we buy, sell, and own in
this world.
Refers to the interconnected worldwide economic activities that take
place between multiple countries. These economic activities can have
either a positive or negative impact on the countries involved.
It may also mean as the free movement of goods, capital, services,
technology, information, and capital across borders.
5. Economic globalization is a worldwide
phenomenon wherein countries’ economic
situations can depend significantly on other
countries. Many allied countries would
supply resources to each other that the other
countries do not have. These resources can
cover imported products, technology, and
even human labor. Many people have
observed that this phenomenon may lead to
a “one-world government,” which consists
of a centralized government for all nations.
Economic Globalization
There are two types of economic globalization-
protectionism and trade liberalization.
6. Protectionism
Protectionism is a policy that protects domestic
industries from unfair foreign competition. There
are two primary tools used in trade protectionism
tariffs and quota.
A quota is a government-imposed trade restriction
that limits the number or monetary value of goods
that a country can import or export during a
particular period. Countries use quotas in
international trade to help regulate the volume of
trade between them and other countries.
Tariffs are taxes or duties imposed on imports. Tariffs increase the price of
imported goods in the domestic market, which, consequently, reduces the demand
for them.
7. Trade Liberalization/ Free Trade
Trade liberalization refers to eliminating or easing trade barriers between
countries to promote free trade of goods and services. Trade liberalization
involves reducing tarrifs, eliminating quotas, and reducing non-tariff barriers.
It introduces various goods and services at
reasonable prices.
When countries collaborate, they introduce their
cultures which is an important element in
developing a healthy community.
Promoting free trade leads to the reallocation of
government funds initially spent on factors like
subsidies.
Advantages of Trade Liberalization
It may lead to overdependence on foreign
products and services.
It can affect indigenous people. For example,
relaxed regulations can encourage and ease
the acquisition of indigenous people’s land for
corporate use.
Disadvantages of Trade Liberalization
8. Although governments do hold power
over countries' economies, it is the big
banks and large corporations that
control and essentially fund these
governments. This means that the
global economy is dominated by large
financial institutions.
