Ekonomik Küreselleşmenin Yol Açtığı Problemler: Teorik Bir Bakış

Bu çalışma, ekonomik küreselleşme kavramını incelemeye çalışmaktadır. Küreselleşme, uzunca bir zaman önce başlamış olan ve halen sürmekte olan bir süreçtir. Günümüz dünyasında ekonomi ve politika çok yakın olarak birbiriyle ilişkilidir. Bu açıdan herhangi biri, televizon ekranlarında Dünya Ticaret Örgütü karşıtlarını ya da Afrika kıtasındaki açlığı rahat bir şekilde gözlemleyebilir. Bu durum ekonomik küreselleşme ile de yakından ilişkilidir. Bu makalede ilk önce economik küreselleşmenin teorik ve kurumsal kökenleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Buna ilaveten yerel ekonomik ilişkiler mercek altına alınmıştır. Ekonomik karşılıklı bağımlılık, uluslararası finansal ağlar ve uluslararası ticaret de bu bağlamda incelenmiştir. Son olarak çok uluslu şirketlerin, kar güdüsü ile büyüme ve rekabet ile saldırganlık gibi ikili davranış özellikleri ele alınarak acil problem alanları tartışılmış ve bu konuyla ilgili diğer anlamlara vurgu yapılmıştır.

THE PROBLEMS OF ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION: A THEORITICAL APPROACH

The article tries to analyze the concept of economic globalization. This is a process which began several decades ago and goes on for the time-being. Economy and politics are deeply interrelated in todays’ world. One can see on television screens the opponents of WTO or the hunger in African continent. These are also related to economic globalization. In this article, it is first tried to understand theoretical and institutional roots of economic globalization. Then, local economic relations are revisioned. An economic interdependence and international financial network, and international trade are also stressed. As a latter step, behavioral characteristics of multinational corporations such as motives of profit and grow, or competition and aggressiveness are studied. Finally, the emergent problem areas are discussed and related implications are emphasized
