Globalization in Developing Countries
NGOs and globalization in developing countries
Though there is widespread assumption that globalization in developing countries is an obstruction to the development of local economies, the case of Asian countries -notably that of China, India, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Indonesia- disproves, at least in part, this assumption. In fact, opponents of globalization claim that globalization aims to keep the status quo in developing countries, which means weak economy, dependency in high-tech machines and tools, and dependency in financial aid and assistance. On the other hand, supporters of globalization claim that if it was not because of the expertise and huge investments that globalization actors (governments, multinational companies, etc.) brought to poor countries, Asian countries like South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong could have never been as developed as they are today.
The question of the repercussions of globalization on developing countries is one of the main issues to be debated in the International Conference on the Role of NGOs in Global Governance. Several internationally-renowned politicians, economists and actors in the humanitarian field will debate on the advantages and disadvantages of globalization in developing countries, and on the role of NGOs in international cooperation and development.
