CAN GLOBAL INJUSTICE BE RECTIFIED

It is a fact that none of the world orders throughout history have satisfied the necessary conditions for existence – to satisfy all the participating countries. Still, it seems that none of the world orders caused controversy and opposite opinions except globalization. Some consider globalization to be a new, contemporary phase of human society development while to others it represents nothing but a great myth. Some consider it to be an objective and spontaneous planetary process, others see it as the domination of developed countries, a process which brings with it a number of divisions and a deeper economic and social gap between parts of the world. For the winners of globalization, it represents the advancement of civilization and a source of the new boon for mankind, but for the losers it is nothing but a destructive power. Both parties are right: globalization provided a new quality dimension of development but at the same time the developing possibilities are not equally allocated and available to all.
Key words:
globalization, rich, poor, integration, Washington Consensus.
BOGATI PROTIV SIROMAŠNIH:
DA LI SE GLOBALNA NEPRAVDA MOŽE ISPRAVITI
Činjenica je da nijedan svetski poredak kroz istoriju nije zadovoljio potrebne uslove za postojanje – da zadovolji sve države koje obuhvata. Ipak, čini se da nijedan svetski pored nije izazvao kontroverzu i oprečna mišljenja sem globalizacije. Neki globalizaciju smatraju novom, savremenom fazom razvoja ljudskog društva dok za druge ona predstavlja samo jedan veliki mit. Neki smatraju da je ona objektivan i spontani planetarni process, drugi je vide kao dominaciju razvijenih država, process koji sa sobom nosi brojne podele i dublji ekonomski i društveni jaz među delovima sveta. Za pobednike globalizacije, ona predstavlja napredak civilizacije i izvor novih dobilit za čovečanstvo, ali za gubitnike ona je destruktivna sila. Obe strane su u pravu: globalizacija pruža novu dimenziju razvoja ali u isto vreme mogućnosti koje se razvijaju nisu podjednako podljene niti dostupne svima.
