    Professor
    1. Explain the Effects of Globalization on Governments.

    2. Identify the Institutions that Govern International


    Relations

    3. Differentiate Internationalism from Globalism


    Interstate System - is define as a system of
    international relations.

    Global Interstate System - is the interactions of


    various states in international relations to provide
    stability of all nations around the globe through the
    implementation of international policies or
    international treaties.
    Ex. The Treaty of Westphalia (1648) – the treaty
    entered into between the Catholics and Protestants
    to end the thirty years war in Central Europe.
    Globalization is the way that countries and people around
    the world have become more connected and interdependent
    economically, politically, and socially. Globalization brought
    positive and negative effects to governments.

    Among the Positive Effects of Globalization to


    Governments are:
    •Countries have become more interconnected, they have needed
    to work together to protect the environment or to fight terrorism
    that led to the development of world government.
    •Globalization tend to be the realm of elite because in many
    parts of the world they are the only people who are affluent
    enough to buy many of the products available in the global
    marketplace.
    •Globalization has created and expanded foreign trade
    in the world.
    •Things that were only found in developed countries
    can now be found in other countries across the world.
    People can now get whatever they want and from any
    country.
    • Another positive effects of globalization is the
    improved quality of products due to globe competition.
    • World becomes smaller and smaller, because of modern
    technologies.
    Negative Effects
    • In developed countries people have jobs insecurity.
    People are losing their jobs. Developed nations have
    outsourced manufacturing and white collar jobs. That
    means less jobs for their people. This is because the
    manufacturing work is outsourced to countries where
    the costs of manufacturing goods and wages are lower
    than in their countries.
    • Globalization has led to exploitation of labor. Safety
    standards are ignored to produce cheap goods.
    Negative Effects
    Globalization has led to fluctuation in price.
    Due to increase in competition, developed
    countries are forced to lower down their prices for
    their products, this is because other countries like
    China produce goods at a lower cost that makes
    goods to be cheaper than the ones produced in
    developed countries.
    Several institutions that governs international relations are the
    following:
    a. United Nation, with 192 member states, it is seen as the facilitator
    of global governance (Meyer, 2011).
    b. Regional Commissions, a group of officials from the different
    countries that instruct and debate, and are in-charge of making
    certain laws promulgate certain rights for economic and social
    development (CEPAL et al. 2015). Example of these are:
    1. Economic Commission for Africa (ECA);
    2. Economic Commission for Europe (ECE);
    3. Economic Commission for Latin America and the Carribbean
    (ECLAC);
    4. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific
    (ESCAP); and
    5. Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA)
    Several institutions that governs international relations
    are the following:
    c. World Bank (WB), an international financial institution
    that provides loans to countries of the world for capital
    projects. Established during the Bretton Woods
    Conference in 1944 and include other members like the
    International Bank for Reconstruction and
    Development (IBRD); International Development
    Association (IDA); International Finance Corporation
    (IFC); and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee
    Agency (MEGA). (The World Bank, n.d.). This
    institutions provide loans to middle income countries
    and even private sectors in developing countries to
    create markets and improve local economies.
    Other institutions that governs international relations
    are the following:
    c. International Monetary Fund (IMF), looks for the
    stability of the international monetary system by
    monitoring global economy, lends to countries, and
    provides policy and technical advisory functions to
    members (Maverick, 2019).
    d. World Trade Organization (WTO), regulates
    international trades, ensures smooth flow of trade,
    and provides a forum for negotiations for trade
    agreements among countries and regions of the
    world (IMF, 2019).
    f. World Health Organization (WHO), responsible for
    global researches on medicines and vaccines including
    the World Health Report and Survey.
    g. Organization of Economic Cooperatiaon and
    Development (OECD), thrity five member countries aims to
    stimulate economic progress and world trade by providing a
    platform to compare policy experiences and identify good
    practices in domestic and international economic policies and
    programs of its members.
    h. International Labor Organization (ILO), deals with labor
    problems and international labor standards and social
    protection for workers.
    i. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),
    leads intenational efforts to defeat hunger, eliminate food insecurity
    and malnutrition, and increase resilience of livelihoods and food.
    j. UNESCO, contributes to peace and security by promoting
    international collaboration through educational, scientific, and
    cultural reform.
    k. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International
    l. Maritime Organization (IMO), International Telecommunication
    Union (ITU), The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
    – for regulations of international airport; shipping and prevention of
    of pollution at sea; developing standards on ICT; international
    intellectual property rights standards.
    Although the two terms may appear to be similar but
    there is a conceptual difference between them.
    Globalism is much wider in meaning, scope and
    outcome.
    While internationalism is defined as political,
    economic and cultural cooperation among nations,
    globalism is an ideology based on the belief that flow of
    people, goods and information should flow freely
    accross nation boarders (Roudometof, 2005; cited by
    Botor, et.al. 2020).
    Inspite of these cenceptual differences between the
    two terms, practically we understand the meaning of
    the two phenomena. In the contemporary world order,
    the international exchange witness both Globalism and
    Internationalism with varying degrees.
    For example, in International Organization like the
    WTO, the mode of exchange we witness is a blendof
    both Internationalism and Globalism. However,
    Globalism tends to dominate the scenario. While the
    countries seek cooperation for international trade and
    respects its other’s independence and decision making.
