Political globalization is
important as the world is becoming more international and national boundaries
are rapidly diminishing. Political globalization, can be understood as a tension
between three processes: global geopolitics, global normative culture and
polycentric networks. First aspect of political globalization is the
geopolitics of global power. Most prevalent form of government is a democratic
nation-state, The globalization of politic occur as Soviet Union collapsed and
the United States started exercising political influence over the world. Second
aspect is a global normative culture. Political communication is not limited by
national borders and common global issue include human right matters and
natural concern. As John Meyer suggested, global culture makes all societies
set a global standard. Also, The power of global normative culture has become
reality beyond the state system and based on a relation of tension with states.
Besides, political globalization is polycentric networks, it is nonterritorial
and can be described as a famous organization such as United Nations, which has
consensus power by majority of states. One of the distinctive features of
global civil society is that it includes INGO(international nongovernmental
organizations) such as SOS Children's Villages, Save the Children so on.
The meaning of
state’s sovereignty became weaker and weaker. For example, European Union has transnational
authority like regulation of finance markets, cross-border trade. Not only it
includes economical regulations, But also it includes various regulations over
the European countries like environment, drugs and drug addiction, vocational
training, health and safety and so on. It is obvious that states are
undermining the nationality in response to globalization. Political globalization
has also changed the way of communicating with other states. The recent social
theory of the public sphere suggested that has now moved into a wider view of
the public sphere as cosmopolitan. Political globalization is most prominent in
aspects of changes in political communication and in the wider transformation
of the public sphere. civil societalization has some two controversial issues. homogenization
of globalization and individuating power of globalization
2. Interesting things what I learned.
I was interested in growth of civil society. It undermined
the meaning of borders and the tension among the states
Also, I don’t know what is difference between NGO and INGO. I noticed that save the children is one of the represtative
INGO. I researched abou the save the children. Save the children helps
children in 120 countries, including the United States, working with Save the
Children members worldwide. They put
children first and giving them what they need to grow up happy and healthy.
3. Discussion
As the power of INGO became bigger and bigger, the transparency and accountability are really crucial. Because Shortage of funds made the many programme useless, no matter what happens, they should collect money as much as possible. according to this article, WHO gets two types of contribution to run its programmes. All member states pay an annual membership fee called assessed contribution, which is calculated on the basis of the country’s wealth and population. Assessed contribution accounts for just 20 per cent of WHO’s total budget. The remaining 80 per cent is funded through voluntary contributions made by countries, foundations, corporations and philanthropies. The problem is that 93 per cent of the voluntary funds is given for specific programmes. As a result, WHO is unable to implement or support many programs that are decided each year at the WHA. In fact this was the reason WHO gave for its failure to swiftly act during the recent Ebola outbreak
Member states are generally not willing to provide funds that are not earmarked as they feel that WHO does not provide them with data on how this money is used
how can we solce this money shortage problem? how can we emarked the money even?
