Week 8-due tuesday 12/9
For years, the merits of globalization, and the potential diversity and corresponding novelty to adaptive and emergent conditions, have been the subject of many heated debates. When the World Trade Organization met in Seattle in 1999, there were extensive public protests about globalization and the liberalization of international trade. Consider the opposition to globalization of trade and integration of the world’s economy. For this assignment, select any world organization you are interested in – the WTO is one example, but you may choose any non-private world organization.
Assess two major arguments each for and against such globalization efforts as implemented by the organization you have chosen. Each argument presented should be supported with relevant literature that clearly demonstrates empirical findings on the topic. If no empirical findings are found, provide your insights on whether you agree or disagree with the argument. Include concepts from your readings on ethics, policy, finance and budgeting and the management of resources. Explain your position in a logical and clear manner.
Length: 12-15 pages, not including title and reference pages
References: Include a minimum of seven scholarly resources.
