Concept Note
Globalization is best understood on the background of economic, cultural,
social and political changes that have shaped the world over the past fifty years.
It is both a result and a force of modernization, resulting in the integration of
local national and regional economic activity into a ‘global’ market place.
This market place transcends geo-political borders and penetrates deep into
political and social structures. Thus globalization engulfs willing and
unwilling states in a global scale and exemption penalty is high in terms of
political and economic costs. The liberalization, privatization, globalization
trio are conceived as the pillars of neoliberal policies. The supporters of the
new order focus on the economic freedom and market choices that may enhance
individual and state opportunities in a wider platform. It is argued that
globalization provides better avenues for interactions and exchanges that may
positively influence the development of nations and individuals.
On
the other side many identify the economic freedom of the new social order as
freedom of profit. In the context of globalised markets this freedom trusts in
the theory of automated rationalism of allocation, which does not attend the
individual values. The rich-poor gap is ever widening and instead of admitting
it as a social issue economic models identify it as a stimulus for consumerism.
The resultant greed culture is basically a violent impulse, which alters the
mental and social construction of society.
To many on the other side of the globe, globalization may result in a
hegemonic culture.
India embarked upon the policies of
liberalization, privatization and globalization, mainly in the last two decades
of the 20th century. Since then considerable changes have been taking place in
almost every sphere of life such as economy, polity, education, culture and
social relations. The boundary between state and market has been redrawn in
tune with the forces of globalization. The governance structures were also
reorganized to suite the global demands. There are both supporters and
detractors of globalization in the country, having their distinctive reasons
and logic. In this background the one day national seminar attempts to address the following themes.
1,Globalisation in India –Conceptual
frame work
2,Globalisation and economic reforms in
India
3, Globalisation and civil society
4,Impacts of Globalisation in Political
structures
5,ICT and Globalisation
