PHASE

Globalization is a world phenomenon, generated by the most developed countries,
primarily the USA. Highly developed countries have mainly used its undisputable
advantages, while the underdeveloped ones have mostly encountered its negative
effects. One of the most severe consequences of globalization is the increase
of economic inequalities and poverty. Although economic inequalities represent
a driving force of the economic development, their scale would have to
be reduced to the level that would enable a peaceful and stable development
of the mankind. Therefore, the search for solutions that would ensure a
"globalization with the human face" is the imperative of the present time,
as well as of the future of mankind.
EKONOMSKE NEJEDNAKOSTI I SIROMAŠTVO
KAO POSLEDICE TEKUĆE FAZE GLOBALIZACIJE
Globalizacija je svetska pojava koja je generisana od najrazvijenijih zemalja,
u prvom redu SAD-a. Njene nesumnjive prednosti prvenstveno koriste najrazvijenije
zemlje, a negativne efekte najviše osećaju nerazvijene zemlje. Jedna od
najtežih posledica globalizacije je porast ekonomskih nejednakosti i siromaštva.
Bez obzira što su ekonomske nejednakosti pokretačka snaga ekonomskog razvoja,
njihove razmere moraju se svesti u okvire koji će obezbediti miran i stabilan
razvoj čovečanstva. Zato je traganje za rešenjima koja će dovesti do "globalizacije
sa ljudskim likom" imperativ aktuelnog vremena i budućnosti čovečanstva.
