Ład społeczny a globalizacja

The present era of globalization creates not only new possibiłietes but also many disturbances and disruptions. Recent advances in global governance have been based on liberał concepts and principles of economic efficiency and competitive markets. They are important but this is not enough. Achieving economic growth through means that lead to "social recession" or even a backlash in social development cannot be recognized as a succes. Unrestricted economic globalization, especially finacial markets integration, increases vulnerability of the less developed countries. If not managed adeąuately, economic globalization can lead to a further deepening of ineąuality, increasing job insecurity, a worsening of labour standards, deterioration of social and health services in both rich and poor countries and rising crime. Therefore special attention has to be given by the international community to the management of the ongoing globalization process.Today's globalization is being driven by market expansion - goals such as the opening of national borders to trade, Capital and information outpace governance of these markets and their repercussion for people. Morę progress has been madę in elaborating norms, standards, policies and institutions to ensure a "market friendly" economic enviroment than in creating favorable working conditions. Humań development and social protection have to be incorporated into the practices and principles of global governance. It seems that the main challenge today's globalization has to face is the nessesity of including the great Capital into the process of co-finacing of social development. Globalization offers numerous opportunities for human advancement - but only with stronger govemance. The opportunities and benefits which stem from it should be dispersed much morę widely.
