Globalisation from a Namibian standpoint

17 Mar 10 | Dave
Over to Africa to hear from Bae Shofinari about how Globalisation has and will affect Namibia

The principles of supply and demand brought about Globalization – goods, technology and labour - thats its availability to the entire world. It basically refers to rapid change in the technical, social and political stability and finance capital, production, trade, or aid and increased international rule of law, human rights, good governance, adequate infrastructure and skilled labour force. On the other hand, in Southern Africa it rapidly improved the livelihoods strategies crucially influenced by gender, age, and status leading to increased productivity and a higher standard of living for everybody. Social and economic status and role of women has become more valuable both at home and in the community. Moreover, advances in medicine, improved public health policies, and greater food supplies have lowered infant mortality and lengthened life expectancy.

Today, Namibia like any country cannot succeed in isolation – her borders are open to investment to champion stability, and democracy, or create better safety nets and education/training programmes. Open economies also brings about new markets and comparative advantage, economies of scale and access to a greater range of products and services and global investment contrary has increased competition, and recession. Globalization is happening at a time when humanity is exploring differing economic and political systems. It is affecting local way of life - again affecting national and local structures and thus in addition, current trends of air and water pollution, the mining and exploitation of natural resources, and the destruction of wildlife continues, the global environment will be seriously eroded with disastrous consequence for all humans. With internet, television or satellites brings in wealth creation; the exchange of culture and values, the greater attention now being given to issues such as human rights, environmental protection and technology, communications and our increasing interconnection with each other are inevitable.

Admittedly, Namibia the job market has changes considerably due to globalization, and some of the basic issues of life: food or services have become either dwindled/swindled, or are beyond the reach many. The strategic ascendance of financial investments and specialized services; the transfer of public resources to private hands and the proportional relocation of companies from Namibia has had its consequence. Other facets of globalization are characterized by the cost of living in a country which cannot produce its own food, unemployment rose by 17% (2009). Although the government(s) has been, and remains, fully committed towards the effectiveness of interventions and the sustainability of outcomes, it seems to me that this concept aptly characterizes today's global system leaving populations alienated, living in absolute poverty (less than $1 a day).hence there is lack of balance between the humanity and democracy in the face of capitalism. The necessary changes include protection of prices, appropriate and equitable market opportunities, and equitable citizenry partnerships and transfer of participatory technology development and research and development.

Adoptation of treaties/universal systems contribute positively to local livelihoods but the political and legal issues concern the effects and impacts of Globalization to ensure certain that globalization doesn't cost us our health or our values.

Building a business’s reputation doesn’t take place overnight: You must dedicate time and effort into earning and keeping your customers’ respect. However, in the era of social networking, all that hard work can come crashing down with a few keystrokes from a dissatisfied customer.<a >boat parts</a>
