PAD 540 Week 1 Discussion Globalization and Government
For more course tutorials visit
www.newtonhelp.com
Globalization and Government” Please respond to the following:
Tom Friedman (2005), states that “Globalization” is a wonderful and
natural process to which people need to adjust. To some critics, it is
a dangerous pattern that needs to be resisted through public
authority. And to others, it is a process that is not natural at all, but
encouraged by public policy that serves some interests at the
expense of others. According to Henry Kissinger (1999) “globalization
is really another name for the dominant role of the United States.”
Agree or disagree with Kissinger’s statement and provide evidence
from the textbook that supports your view. Justify your response.
4. The Global Closet Calculator is a two-part interactive game that

PAD 540 Week 2 Assignment 1 Position Paper,
聽
Assignment 1: Position Paper
Due Week 2 and worth 140 points
Public administration is an essential link between citizens and
governments. With the rapid pace of globalization, the public
sector is under even greater pressure to increase its capacity to deal
with the new challenges and opportunities that globalization
presents. The relationship of globalization and governance is
multidimensional. States / countries with high levels of integration
with the rest of the world tend to have better governance outcomes
5. on the whole. Of course, the quality of governance can be directly
related to the social and economic integration between states. The
gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, religion, natural
resources, fractionalization, and government size largely decide the
outcomes.
Like globalization, governance can be conceived broadly or
narrowly. How does globalization affect macroeconomic
policymaking?
In this assignment, you are expected to select one (1) country and:
Discuss a significant issue / challenge arising from globalization
that has taken place in the last three to six (3-6) months.
Critically evaluate the current policy(ies) for the issue / challenge.
Consider possible alternatives.
Advocate a particular policy choice and provide rationale.
Use the Internet to conduct research for this assignment. Here are
two (2) resources to get you started:
Write a one to two (1-2) page paper in which you:
Provide an introduction and context for the issue / challenge.
Summarize what existing literature says about the selected issue /
challenge and the selected country's policies impacting the issue.
Suggest two (2) policy options that the selected country's
government could follow in order to resolve the issue / challenge.
Recommend one (1) policy action based on your analysis of a set
of alternatives. Provide a rationale for your recommendation.
Provide at least three (3) reliable, relevant, peer-reviewed
references (no more than one [1] used previously), published
within the last five (5) years that support the paper's claims.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting
requirements:
聽
Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment,
the student's name, the professor's name, the course title, and
the date. The cover page is not included in the required page
length.
6. Include a reference page. Citations and references must
follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the
required page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:

and relationships.
Analyze the core controversies, theories, and rationale surrounding
global public administration.
Formulate domestic and international public policy alternatives and
arguments.
Describe how policies shift over time when applied to global
public administration challenges.

“The Costs of Globalization” Please respond to the following:
7. Globalization and the freedom of trade existed before all the
boarders and international boundaries were set up and trade
regulations put in place. Based on the information in Chapter 3 of the
textbook, provide your opinion as to whether you believe that
territorialization and international boundaries are based on fear of
invasion or a tactic to protect a country’s own economy. Provide a
rationale for your response.
===============================================
PAD 540 Week 3 Discussion State Making
For more course tutorials visit
www.newtonhelp.com
“State Making” Please respond to the following:
“Globalization is commonly described as the processes and forces
leading to an ever-decreasing capacity of the nation state to govern
within its territorial boundaries” (Levi-Farr & Vigoda-Gadot, 2004).
Even though world trade is larger than ever before, national living
standards vary according culture, the wealth of the state (nation),
8. and domestic factors. The study of globalization requires a holistic
approach and must be analyzed from all angles.
According to Strange (1996), although nation-states once controlled
the markets, it is now the markets that often control the nation-state
(Levi-Farr & Vigoda-Gadot, 2004). Examine the major factors that
account for the unequal distribution of globalization effects in
different states. Suggest how policy entrepreneurs, policy makers,
and policy administrators should redesign states so that people can
benefit from globalization in general. Provide a rationale for your
response.
Analyze the key driving forces to increase interdependence.
Recommend two (2) actions that states can take in order to increase
capacity to respond to the challenges of globalization. Justify your
response.
===============================================
PAD 540 Week 5 Discussion Non-Governmental Actors
For more course tutorials visit
www.newtonhelp.com
9. “Non-Governmental Actors” Please respond to the following:
Government has come to rely on for profit and nonprofit
organizations for the delivery of goods and services. The challenges
in an every changing world have strained the capacity of
governments to deliver meaningful global policies. Globalization is an
opportunity to learn from other political systems. International non-
governmental organizations (IGNO) play an increasingly important
role in international development. INGOs are organized actors and
serve as a funnel for policy and development from the states,
individual donors, and bilateral aid agencies. INGOs form a distinct
third sector separate from business and governments (Scott-
Martinet, K, 2006).
Describe a recent disaster and recall the amount of aid that came
from IGNOs. Provide your opinion on the predominant methods that
IGNOs have used to penetrate or dominate international decision-
making. Suggest what is needed for IGNOs continual influence in the
process of global governance.

s), located here. Select two (2) global flows involved in perpetuating
negative globalization. Outline these global flows and provide an
explanation as to why these are perpetuating negative globalization.
Based on the information in Chapter 9, examine the main global
flows of crime. Examine the responsibilities within the nation-state
and international agencies in dealing with such flows. Suggest two
(2) actions that nation-states can take in order to deal with
dangerous imports.
===============================================
PAD 540 Week 7 Discussion Global Economics
For more course tutorials visit
www.newtonhelp.com
11. “Global Economics” Please respond to the following:
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank have played
a major role in globalization and socio-economic reform. Tax
incentives to many developing countries in exchange for making
economic reforms have helped widen globalization. The
Liberalization, Privatization, Globalization (LPG) approach received a
big boost due to IMF and World Bank policies. The GATT (General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) also played a significant role in
ushering in globalization-minded economic reforms (IMF, 2008).
China, Romania, and India have successfully implemented economic
reforms in the era of globalization. China’s economy has been
socialist in structure while India holds to a traditional, agriculture-
oriented, feudalistic economy (The World Bank, 2015). Both
economies implemented numerous reforms over recent years. The
results in both cases have been highly encouraging and have set a
high standard for other developing economies. On the other hand,
Greece has not faired out as well. Read a “A very short history of the
crisis,” located here. Next, go to CNN’s Website and read the article
titled, “Q&A Greece’s financial crisis explained,” located here.
Provide your opinion on how the Greece-Euro became such a big
problem. Determine who is most exposed if Greece defaults and
speculate on what a Greek default would mean for you. Recommend
12. two (2) potential policy solutions to the Greek debt problem. Provide
a rationale for your response.
===============================================
PAD 540 Week 8 Discussion The Global Environment: A
World Problem
For more course tutorials visit
www.newtonhelp.com
PAD 540 Week 8 Discussion
“The Global Environment: A World Problem” Please respond to the
following:
Environmental governance is a concept in political ecology,
environmental policy, and international global administration.
Environmental governance advocates for sustainable development
for the managing of all human activities – political, social, and
13. economic. It views natural resources and the environment as global
public goods that benefits everyone, that is, everyone is entitled for
clean breathable air, and a stable climate, and continual biodiversity.
This is accomplished through several government agencies, mainly
the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) that works on
climate and atmosphere, and the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) that focuses on nuclear security (Brandes & Brooks,
2005, p. 8).
The world may someday “collapse” due to accelerating
environmental problems. Agree or disagree with this statement and
list two (2) reasons in support of your position. Provide one (1)
example of how global corporations alleviate environmental
problems and one (1) example of how global corporations contribute
to environmental problems.
===============================================
PAD 540 Week 9 Discussion Social Welfare Programs
For more course tutorials visit

14. “Social Welfare Programs” Please respond to the following:
“Social Security, established in 1935, is the most costly item in the
federal budget. After the income tax, it also provides the largest
source of tax revenues. The program provides senior, survivor, and
disability insurance protection to most people who work in wage and
salary jobs and to the self-employed. Workers and their employers
each pay taxes equal to 6.2 percent of covered wages. The self-
employed pay 12.4 percent of taxable self-employment earnings.
Taxes are collected by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and
deposited in government-administered accounts called the Old-Age
and Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Trust Funds”
(Bosworth & Burtless, 1997).
The privatization of the Social Security system is spreading from Chile
to Argentina, Spain, England, and Australia. Mexico and Italy are the
most recent to jump on board. Examine the major pros and cons of
privatizing the Social Security system in the United States. Speculate
on who would benefit and who would lose. Provide a rationale for
your response.
Complete one (1)of the following statements regarding privatizing
Social Security and provide at least two (2) references to support
your response.
If the U.S. privatizes the Social Security system, African-Americans,
Hispanics, and women stand to lose the most because…
If the U.S. privatizes Social Security, the amount of your retirement
benefits will depend on whether you retire when the market is up or
down because…
15. Privatization can raise the rate of return workers obtain on their
retirement contributions because…
Privatization has practical political advantages in comparison with
the current Social Security retirement plan based on high payroll
taxes because…

“Time for Reflection” Please respond to the following:
18. Some say globalization allows regions of the planet to consume far
more than they could normally consume. In Week 1, you used the
Global Closet Calculator to aggregate the contents of your closet.
Considering the results, and all that you have learned from the
readings, determine whether or not you would be trading
internationally if you could get everything at home. Provide a
rationale for your response.
The globalization debate raises several key issues about future work
force trends and public administration responses. Looking forward to
the year 2025, predict the impact of globalization on the real wages
and incomes of workers as a whole. Next, speculate on the extent to
which globalization will limit the ability of governments to take
significant policy actions on the behalf of the disadvantaged work
force.
