Globalization
This document discusses the causes and effects of globalization. It identifies five key causes: improved communications, improved transport, free trade agreements, global banking, and the growth of multinational corporations. Some effects mentioned are a changed global food supply with year-round availability, offshoring of manufacturing jobs to lower costs, less job security, environmental damage from increased transport, cultural impacts from the spread of media, and more anti-globalization protests. The rapid growth of multinational corporations both drives and benefits from increased globalization.
The Causes and Effects of Globalisation
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness of economies and societies around the world through trade and information sharing. There are three main types - economic, social, and political. Key drivers of globalization include improved communications like the internet, improved transportation infrastructure, free trade agreements, global banking, and the growth of multinational corporations. The effects of globalization include a changed global food supply, increased outsourcing and less job security in some countries, potential environmental damage from increased trade and transport, homogenization of cultures, and a rise in anti-globalization protests.
Globalization powerpoint
The document discusses globalization and how technology promotes it. Globalization is defined as the standardization of everyday life worldwide through the spread of ideas and commodities. Technology tools like social media, video chatting, and email allow people all over the world to communicate and share information instantly. This connectivity has opened up educational opportunities for students by giving them access to more in-depth global information. Places that used to seem distant can now be experienced virtually through technology with the click of a button.

History,state of the world updated
The document provides an overview of global trends from 1948 to present day that have impacted AIESEC and its mission over time. It discusses events like World War 2, decolonization movements, economic growth, technological advances, conflicts, health crises, and environmental issues that shaped each era. The presentation argues that while the world has changed drastically, AIESEC's goal of promoting international understanding and developing global leaders remains important. It encourages the audience, as privileged and internationally-minded university students, to play a role in creating a more just, peaceful and sustainable future society.
C16 - The Global Commons
The document discusses concerns around population growth and its impact on global resources, known as the "global commons." It outlines early concerns from Malthus in the 1700s and a revival in the 1950s-60s due to unprecedented population growth. The "Limits to Growth" report from the Club of Rome in the 1970s warned that exponential population growth could outstrip resources and damage the environment if left unchecked. However, the document also notes more optimistic perspectives that see potential for enough food and energy to support the global population, citing theories like demographic transition and productivity increases reducing concerns about issues like overpopulation and resource scarcity.
Globalization and its Impact on Organizational Change
Provides an overview of the social and economic forces that have combined to reshape modern organisations creating an imperative for change and renewal. The origins of globalisation are identified, and the heightened anti-globalisation protest activity at the turn of the century is highlighted.

Macbride presentation about nwico
The document discusses the New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) which was proposed in the 1970s. It aimed to address imbalances in global communication and the dominance of Western news agencies. However, the United States opposed NWICO as it was seen as a threat to the free flow of information and the interests of American media corporations. The controversy around NWICO ultimately led to the United States and United Kingdom withdrawing from UNESCO in 1984 and 1985 respectively.

This document summarizes the key events and documents related to the development of international environmental governance:
- The Stockholm Declaration (1972) was the first international document to recognize the human right to a healthy environment and call on countries to cooperate to address environmental issues for the survival of humanity.
- The Brundtland Commission (1980s) linked economic growth and environmental preservation, recognizing the need to generate growth without harming the environment.
- The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro (1992) brought together world leaders to reconcile economic development with environmental protection and resulted in agreements like Agenda 21.
Unit xiv
The document summarizes changes in European population, culture, technology, and unification from 1960-2000. Population growth declined among indigenous Europeans as immigration increased from former colonies. Consumerism rose due to mass production while religion attendance declined. New technologies like computers and the Internet spread information globally. Medical advances increased life expectancy. After the Cold War ended, Eastern European states transitioned to capitalism. To promote trade and prevent future wars, European nations increasingly unified politically and economically into the European Union.
Chapters 18 22 nb
The document provides an overview of major global trends and events since 1945 across three sections:
1. The Changing Political Climate - Decolonization led to the emergence of over 50 new nations by 1980 amidst the Cold War. Most new nations struggled with stability and democracy while international organizations expanded.
2. Global Economic Trends - The world divided into a relatively wealthy Global North and poorer Global South. Nations grew interdependent yet obstacles hindered development in the South. Environmental damage increased with modernization.
3. Changing Patterns of Life - Urbanization, women's rights advances, and new technologies transformed daily life while a new global culture emerged through modern communication. Traditional ways weakened as Western influences spread globally.
Andrey's presentation about movements from Peace and development seminar
1) In the 1960s, there were several public movements for justice and peace including the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. and protests against the Vietnam War.
2) The hippie movement emerged in the 1960s advocating for love, peace, freedom and tolerance while protesting restrictions and intolerance.
3) Throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, protests continued against issues like nuclear weapons, the Vietnam War, and for equal rights. These protests helped end the Vietnam War and changed attitudes towards minorities.
1990s
The document summarizes major events and trends in the post-Cold War world from the late 1980s to 2000. Key events included the fall of communist governments in Eastern Europe, German reunification, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This ushered in an era dominated by global capitalism and free trade. However, the nature and stability of the new world order remained unclear. Domestically, the US grappled with economic challenges and cultural divisions over issues like immigration, race, and family values.
Foreign trade and its importance in the economy of Iran in the international ...
Iran is one of the world’s most closely watched nations as a historical entity, about 2.500 years ago, of the Achaemenids Dynasty (559 to 330 BC) period.
The Islamic Republic of Iran (denomination after the revolution in 1979), also know as Persia territory, as historical entity and despite political, religious, and historic dimensions of the society, Iranians maintain a deep connection to their past.
The Iran’s economy is a mirror of the International Community nowadays. Economic policies and decision-making process in economic terms are guests from the international sanctions, particularly the unilateral sanctions from United States of America, which accuse Iran of supporting international terrorism and maintain the nuclear programme as global weapons.
Kinzer et al. (2005: 61) wrote about the impact of sanctions against countries, he said “this isolation has hampered the short and long term growth of its markets, restricted the country´s access to high technology, and impeded foreign investment”.
A form of foreign pressure, sanctions are typically meant to alter the policies of other countries. There is much pessimism on whether they ever work.
The main question, related with this working paper, and we should do is how Iran can trade in the economic global arena, in the contemporary global markets in the sanctions context? Can we found true economic policies in this context and with the contemporary conservative politicians, with the leadership of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, since 2005? Can the economic sanctions destabilize the Iran government, the target of the International Community? Understand the political economy, especially the foreign trade and the impact of the international sanctions in the economy of Iran is the purpose of this paper, with special focus on the United States sanctions, in the line of Marinov (2005).
We using the electronic database of The World Factbook published by Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), The Statistical Centre of Iran, World Trade Organization, United Nations and European Union, and a qualitative research based in published academic work until 2003.

Group assignment
Globalization has both benefits and problems according to the document. It benefits developed countries, foreign investors, and the richest people through opportunities for trade, investment, and business. However, it also causes problems like environmental degradation, terrorism, disease spread, cultural deterioration, climate change, unemployment, and overexploitation of natural resources. While globalization allows more participation in the global economy, its impacts are uneven and it remains a complex topic with reasonable debates on both sides of the issues.
Introduction to globalization
This presentation provides an overview of globalization, including its meaning, history, characteristics, notable global institutions, emergence of institutions, costs and benefits. It defines globalization as the integration of economies and societies worldwide through cross-border trade and investment. The presentation outlines key topics such as the history of globalization from ancient times to the post-World War II era, the rise of major global institutions like the WTO and IMF, and both positive impacts like increased trade and negative impacts like inequality.
GlobalCrisisBibliographyWebed
This document provides a bibliography of 33 editions on works related to the global financial/economic crisis from 2008. It is divided into 11 sections that cover topics such as the origins of the crisis, empirical and narrative accounts, the housing and mortgage industry collapse, regulatory failures, the impact on various countries/regions, and normative perspectives on implications and reforms. The bibliography contains over 200 cited works ranging from books, reports, to academic literature.
1990s
The document discusses environmental issues over recent decades from the 1990s to the present. It notes that the rise of the internet and globalization increased awareness of environmental problems but attention declined after 9/11 as concerns over terrorism rose. While global warming was a concern in the 90s and 2000s, studies have since challenged its existence. The document also discusses specific environmental issues like oil drilling, acid rain, and reforms like the Kyoto Protocol. It concludes that online activism has replaced public protests as a means to raise awareness and enact change.
Trade globalization
Trade globalizationInternational finance has become so interdependent and so interwoven with trade and industry that ... political and military power can in reality do nothing.... These little recognized facts, mainly the outcome of purely modern conditions (rapidity of communication creating a greater complexity and delicacy of the credit system), have rendered the problems of modern international politics profoundly and essentially different from the ancient."
IE601 Theorising The International Events Industry
This document discusses the driving factors behind the development of international events after World War II. It argues that while politics and consumer culture have played a role, the primary driver has been the logic of capitalism. The rise of sponsorship and commercialization of events such as the Olympics is examined as evidence of how capitalism shaped the international events industry from the 1970s onward. Globalization further accelerated this trend by opening new markets that events and sponsors could profit from.
Globalization
Globalization refers to the increased cross-border trade, investment, and cultural exchange that has occurred due to dramatic improvements in technology, communications, transportation, and computation. This has led to economic effects like more international trade and investment as well as multinational companies, and political effects such as increasingly global conflicts, the rise of international organizations, and globally shared environmental concerns. Implications of globalization include debates around fair versus free trade, whether a single global culture is emerging, and how globalization will shape future careers.

1 personal narrative beginning to end
This document provides guidance on writing personal narratives and expository essays for the STAAR test. It discusses the components of a strong introduction, body, and conclusion for both essay types.
For personal narratives, it recommends using the "S.C.A.R.E.D." acronym to grab the reader's attention in the introduction and the "D.U.H." structure to leave the reader thinking in the conclusion. The body should follow a beginning, middle, end plot outline.
For expository essays, it suggests using a hook and thesis statement in the introduction, providing examples in the body, and restating the thesis in the conclusion. Sample acronyms like "Ho
The Rise of Civilization
This document provides an overview of early civilizations in four sections:
1) Mesopotamian civilization emerged by 3000 BCE in cities along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, with complex social structures and writing developed by the Sumerians.
2) Ancient Egyptian civilization also emerged by 3200 BCE, centered around the pharaoh and bureaucracy rather than city-states. They developed hieroglyphic writing and religion.
3) Egypt and Mesopotamia had both similarities like stratified societies and differences like Egypt's centralized government versus Mesopotamian city-states.
4) Other early civilization centers included Kush in Africa, and the Minoans, Phoenicians, and
The Neolithic Revolution
This document provides an overview of human civilization from the Paleolithic era to the earliest towns. It discusses how hunter-gatherer societies first emerged and spread across the world before settling down into agricultural communities during the Neolithic Revolution between 8000-3500 BCE. This allowed for population growth and the rise of specialized occupations. Some of the earliest urban settlements then appeared, like Jericho by 7000 BCE, which cultivated crops and engaged in trade and rule by elites. This marked the beginning of civilization and more complex societies.
Classical Civilizations: Persia and Greece
The document provides an overview of Greek and Hellenistic history and culture from 550 BCE to the 4th century BCE. It summarizes the rise of the Persian Empire and the political development of the Greek city-states. It then discusses the conquests of Philip II and Alexander the Great that spread Greek rule and culture across the Mediterranean world and Near East, forming the Hellenistic period. The document also outlines creativity in religion, philosophy, science, literature and the arts during these eras as well as social and economic patterns, including the roles of aristocracy, merchants, slaves, and gender divisions.
Asia's First Civilizations
This document provides an overview of early civilizations along major river systems, including:
1) The Indus River valley civilization known as the Harappans that developed extensive urban planning with cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro until declining around 1150 BCE.
2) Migrations of Indo-European peoples called Aryans into the Indus and Ganges river valleys after 1500 BCE and the development of Vedic religion, social hierarchies, and kingdoms.
3) The early civilization in China along the Yellow River that emerged from Neolithic cultures and the later Shang dynasty that established the first Chinese writing system and advanced bronze working.
4) The Zhou people gaining power over

Macbride presentation about nwico
The document discusses the New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) which was proposed in the 1970s. It aimed to address imbalances in global communication and the dominance of Western news agencies. However, the United States opposed NWICO as it was seen as a threat to the free flow of information and the interests of American media corporations. The controversy around NWICO ultimately led to the United States and United Kingdom withdrawing from UNESCO in 1984 and 1985 respectively.

This document summarizes the key events and documents related to the development of international environmental governance:
- The Stockholm Declaration (1972) was the first international document to recognize the human right to a healthy environment and call on countries to cooperate to address environmental issues for the survival of humanity.
- The Brundtland Commission (1980s) linked economic growth and environmental preservation, recognizing the need to generate growth without harming the environment.
- The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro (1992) brought together world leaders to reconcile economic development with environmental protection and resulted in agreements like Agenda 21.
Unit xiv
The document summarizes changes in European population, culture, technology, and unification from 1960-2000. Population growth declined among indigenous Europeans as immigration increased from former colonies. Consumerism rose due to mass production while religion attendance declined. New technologies like computers and the Internet spread information globally. Medical advances increased life expectancy. After the Cold War ended, Eastern European states transitioned to capitalism. To promote trade and prevent future wars, European nations increasingly unified politically and economically into the European Union.
Chapters 18 22 nb
The document provides an overview of major global trends and events since 1945 across three sections:
1. The Changing Political Climate - Decolonization led to the emergence of over 50 new nations by 1980 amidst the Cold War. Most new nations struggled with stability and democracy while international organizations expanded.
2. Global Economic Trends - The world divided into a relatively wealthy Global North and poorer Global South. Nations grew interdependent yet obstacles hindered development in the South. Environmental damage increased with modernization.
3. Changing Patterns of Life - Urbanization, women's rights advances, and new technologies transformed daily life while a new global culture emerged through modern communication. Traditional ways weakened as Western influences spread globally.
Andrey's presentation about movements from Peace and development seminar
1) In the 1960s, there were several public movements for justice and peace including the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. and protests against the Vietnam War.
2) The hippie movement emerged in the 1960s advocating for love, peace, freedom and tolerance while protesting restrictions and intolerance.
3) Throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, protests continued against issues like nuclear weapons, the Vietnam War, and for equal rights. These protests helped end the Vietnam War and changed attitudes towards minorities.
1990s
The document summarizes major events and trends in the post-Cold War world from the late 1980s to 2000. Key events included the fall of communist governments in Eastern Europe, German reunification, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This ushered in an era dominated by global capitalism and free trade. However, the nature and stability of the new world order remained unclear. Domestically, the US grappled with economic challenges and cultural divisions over issues like immigration, race, and family values.
Foreign trade and its importance in the economy of Iran in the international ...
Iran is one of the world’s most closely watched nations as a historical entity, about 2.500 years ago, of the Achaemenids Dynasty (559 to 330 BC) period.
The Islamic Republic of Iran (denomination after the revolution in 1979), also know as Persia territory, as historical entity and despite political, religious, and historic dimensions of the society, Iranians maintain a deep connection to their past.
The Iran’s economy is a mirror of the International Community nowadays. Economic policies and decision-making process in economic terms are guests from the international sanctions, particularly the unilateral sanctions from United States of America, which accuse Iran of supporting international terrorism and maintain the nuclear programme as global weapons.
Kinzer et al. (2005: 61) wrote about the impact of sanctions against countries, he said “this isolation has hampered the short and long term growth of its markets, restricted the country´s access to high technology, and impeded foreign investment”.
A form of foreign pressure, sanctions are typically meant to alter the policies of other countries. There is much pessimism on whether they ever work.
The main question, related with this working paper, and we should do is how Iran can trade in the economic global arena, in the contemporary global markets in the sanctions context? Can we found true economic policies in this context and with the contemporary conservative politicians, with the leadership of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, since 2005? Can the economic sanctions destabilize the Iran government, the target of the International Community? Understand the political economy, especially the foreign trade and the impact of the international sanctions in the economy of Iran is the purpose of this paper, with special focus on the United States sanctions, in the line of Marinov (2005).
We using the electronic database of The World Factbook published by Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), The Statistical Centre of Iran, World Trade Organization, United Nations and European Union, and a qualitative research based in published academic work until 2003.

Group assignment
Globalization has both benefits and problems according to the document. It benefits developed countries, foreign investors, and the richest people through opportunities for trade, investment, and business. However, it also causes problems like environmental degradation, terrorism, disease spread, cultural deterioration, climate change, unemployment, and overexploitation of natural resources. While globalization allows more participation in the global economy, its impacts are uneven and it remains a complex topic with reasonable debates on both sides of the issues.
Introduction to globalization

It is divided into 11 sections that cover topics such as the origins of the crisis, empirical and narrative accounts, the housing and mortgage industry collapse, regulatory failures, the impact on various countries/regions, and normative perspectives on implications and reforms. The bibliography contains over 200 cited works ranging from books, reports, to academic literature.
1990s
The document discusses environmental issues over recent decades from the 1990s to the present. It notes that the rise of the internet and globalization increased awareness of environmental problems but attention declined after 9/11 as concerns over terrorism rose. While global warming was a concern in the 90s and 2000s, studies have since challenged its existence. The document also discusses specific environmental issues like oil drilling, acid rain, and reforms like the Kyoto Protocol. It concludes that online activism has replaced public protests as a means to raise awareness and enact change.
Trade globalization
Trade globalizationInternational finance has become so interdependent and so interwoven with trade and industry that ... political and military power can in reality do nothing.... These little recognized facts, mainly the outcome of purely modern conditions (rapidity of communication creating a greater complexity and delicacy of the credit system), have rendered the problems of modern international politics profoundly and essentially different from the ancient."
IE601 Theorising The International Events Industry
This document discusses the driving factors behind the development of international events after World War II. It argues that while politics and consumer culture have played a role, the primary driver has been the logic of capitalism. The rise of sponsorship and commercialization of events such as the Olympics is examined as evidence of how capitalism shaped the international events industry from the 1970s onward. Globalization further accelerated this trend by opening new markets that events and sponsors could profit from.
Globalization
Globalization refers to the increased cross-border trade, investment, and cultural exchange that has occurred due to dramatic improvements in technology, communications, transportation, and computation. This has led to economic effects like more international trade and investment as well as multinational companies, and political effects such as increasingly global conflicts, the rise of international organizations, and globally shared environmental concerns. Implications of globalization include debates around fair versus free trade, whether a single global culture is emerging, and how globalization will shape future careers.

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
